PSP sold for over $2000 on eBay

[Vega]

I had a friend who put up the BOX that an X-Box 360 came in on e-bay. He clearly stated many times it was just the box, there was nothing in the box, and they would only get the box. He did it as a joke.

Some lady bid $300 on it! She won the box. He felt bad and told her it was just a box and she got mad at him! What a dumbo!

Some lady put a ghost on e-bay, and got like $25,000 for it from a gambling casino in England. She sold literally nothing fro $25,000!

Another lady put up a grilled cheese sandwich that she claimed had the image of the virgin mary on it and got $75,000 for it.

Gotta go, my ghost is making grilled cheese...

This makes me think of dumb things I could get away with selling on ebay... hehe.... how about a mobile phone box or a f-china plate (The f standing for fake) or selling the invisible man.. lol

But yeah, this may sound harsh, but your buddy should not have told that lady that it was an empy box. Its really her own dumb fault for being ready to pay $300 without reading the description. Scams on ebay sucks balls, but if its down to buyer stupidity then I would have gladly took her money and laughed. Whats even worse is she got mad... I would tell her to be mad and get madder when she is handing over 300 bucks.

The lesson to be learned :: Dont be a retard.

it can happen.... in some countries, psp isnt even there. you have to literally buy the parts n have it assembled to have a psp( accordin to my friend who went to brazil.... traded his psp for xbox 360 n 2 games lmfaooo... its a plausable situation)... to the fool who bought this.... HAHAHAHAHAHA U IDIOT, WITH THAT KIND OF MONEY YOU CAN HAVE 10 PSP'S!!!!=D=P

we should all post our psp boxes and see who gets the most for it. and the person who gets teh most gets first place of the most money. lol
ik it was a bad prize but u would probly get more than 200 bucks...y not 200 bucks could get u a few psp games or another psp. i will do it once i create an ebay account. ill post back after i sell it to let u know how it went.

I've been trying to sell my (ta-82) psp on ebay for almost three weeks. I have had to relist it twice because damn Nigerian scammers keep winning it with high bids in the final minutes. One was using some woman's stolen account and another was a fresh account that was cancelled as soon as I reported it to ebay.
Like someone mentioned earlier, they send fake messages from paypal, saying that payment has been received, and that it will appear on my account as soon as I send them the delivery tracking number (indicating that the psp has been shipped to Nigeria). Naturally, I report them to ebay as soon as I can, but ebay handles unpaid bidder disputes on the assumption that the buyer and seller will be communicating with each other as the dispute progresses. Without the scammer being willing to communicate with ebay, I am stuck paying the final value fees; which sucks when my entire reason for selling the psp is to raise money for a Wii or a ps3 on launch day.

In the end, the whole situation sucks big, hairy, Nigerian gorilla balls.

/\ /\ I got all my fees back and had it re-listed for the original price so you should too! Fight them all the way!

Heres some of the stuff I got sent from my scammer... (3 images will cycle)

The reason for that is because in order to legally import something like a psp into the country, you have to pay something around a 60% duty on the price of the item. Working at CompUSA in miami, 90% of our retail sales were brazillians that would buy thousands of dollars in laptops and cellphones (in cash) to smuggle into Brazil. It is literally cheaper (as long as you're buying enough) to fly here and buy it, then smuggle it in, then to buy it in-country.

Thats a good idea ya know... we should all put our boxes on ebay (clearly stating it IS just the box) with a £10 minimum bid, and see who (if anyone) gets the biggest sale. The winner should recieve the money that was made by everyone who successfully sold their PSP box for £10 or over
