Thought I would do something funny....
 

I put this up on ebay as a joke and take a look at how stupid some people are.....it just amazes me. I clearly state what I am selling. Havent decided on wheather or not I should take there money?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MESE%3AIT&rd=1

take the money.
Clearly, those bidders have failed elementary school test by forgetting to Print there name where it says NAME

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO dude!!! I tried that exact thing and I got my account terminated. You've got a great feedback score. you WILL (probably) get caught and terminated. If I were you, I'd take it off asap.

Umm how? he clearly states that it is a box, it might be a bit misleading but certainly not more then usual.

it doesnt matter, I did the exact same thing. In fact, I had even more than he did describing that its just a box. I'll see if I can still lookup the ebay listing. I did it back around xmas

here's an image of me tryin to login. I dunno if I'll be able to find my listing since its pretty old

Lol.... cause they will think he is trying to take advantage of the feeble minded.

thats awesome....

I'm able to login, but all my features are diabled. Here's the message they sent me

did you appeal the suspention?

I tried to but they refused. I just created a new username under a different email. The main thing that sucked was my buy/sell reputation was lost

not that big of a loss, ebay is horrible.

Ever wonder why people use auctions to raise money? because your normal Capital free market economy relies on the seller competing for the buyer, this way the buyer tends to win out, or at least has the advantage. On ebay, the buyer competes for the product :dots:

yea forget that place, i forget what it was but its like out of every 10 things you buy on ebay, chanes are at least one of them will be a scam

However, I will say that if he's gone this long without a report, he may just win it. I had the auction right when the 360 was booming at $600 a pop so there were literally a few million people lookin at it per day. Now just maybe a few hundred/thousand. Since he has it this long, I'd say go for it. I was caught in my 2nd day of the auction

maybe the boxes are collectors items..ha ha ha.....when I first read this thread I was really pissed off that you'd consider taking the money, but holy hell it says in bold letters "BOX"! Honestly, I know there are a lot "special" people out there, but don't take the money dude.

And Danny Danny Danny.....Taking advantage of people will not help your quest to make it up stairs when you kick the bucket! Sorry, couldn't help it.

It's f*cked up to do anyways man....

You are contributing to the scam effects of ebay which makes it a bad place for everyone to buy anything from. I think it is wrong what you are doing and if you get banned from ebay you deserve to be...Don't be an A$$hole dude...why would you want people to think or know you are a scam? It is not funny in the least because you are attempting to rip people out of their hard earned money by even thinking about taking it from them. Another thing, if the wrong person buys this and you ship it to them and they get pissed they might track you down and do some harm to you...I know I would if I bought it from you...again dont be an A$$hole!

If the same person that wins and pays for that can also read a map and drive a car (to go find said person and stab him) then i will be impressed beyond words. :poke:

wow thats hilarious, dont take the money, but thanks for the good laugh

BTW he could take the money if he wanted to, no one could do anything because he stated it was the box

"it is white so its cool" ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

I agree...yes..you have a little sentance saying the box is for sale...but you go on to describe the Xbox 360 and its features?? Is it just me that is seeing that?!?!?

But to each his own i guess :poke:

It sold for a total of 325$. I never knew boxes had such a great price value. lol.....I feel kind of bad for doing it but then gain not really because I clearly stated what I was selling. I think I will charge him for the cost of the auction.
If you want to get rich SELL BOXES!:pepper: :banana: :banana: :pepper:

instead of saying the features of the xbox...why not say the features of the box?? Why go out of your way to screw people...I mean...yes..you stated in your one little sentance that you were selling the box (and I wish people COULD read because you would have gotten no where LOL) but you go on to dexcribe the xBox 360 and its features......if in fact you were not trying to screw anybody over...you would have given the l x w x h of the box and BS like that.....


sorry to sound like an ass..but thats just how I feel lol

why are people so stupid?

yeah...people are stupid lol trust me..I think the person who bought it must be freakin brain dead LOL

Who are you talking about....the person who is doing the scamming or the person that can't read and got scammed? This might be the most disgusting thread I've ever read on this site! Someone should e-mail ebay with this link and teach people a freaking lesson about being a jack azz. And yes, I do mean to sound like an ass.

:beerchug:

:)

what I felt...but didn't completly express lol

I just made him pay for the insertion fee and the final value fee. It was only 10 buck and I will still leave him positive feedback. I am being nice this time!:poke:

ha ha ha.....your acting like you did the guy a favor when you were basically scamming him. How thoughtful of you....Un-freaking believable

if they can operate a computer-they can bid on ebay they deserve to pay for it...TAKE THE IDIOTS MONEY

Wow there are some good quality people in this world!

isn't there?! :clap:

just don't ever want to hear of you getting screwed over by someone.... (this going to the thread starter ;) )

just make sure if you ever get screwed over to not be pissed off because you know you would have done the same damn thing lol :poke:

ya I am good at the whole making people feel like they are getting someting out of it but in reality I really am. Oh well it was a great laugh.:beerchug:

I agree, I just got dicked out of an expensive a** optima battery. Makes me wish Marshall law was legitimate. The dumb a** even put his real phone number but still screwed me out of the battery.

You mean the winner actually thought he was getting an XBOX? http://www.mcmmotorsports.com/smilies/nodno.gif

thats exactly why i would make him pay...i am a decent guy and when i list things on ebay i list them as exact as possible...well so did this guy he said its just the box only nothing else nothing is inside--obviously ppl saw xbox 360 and diddnt continue reading and just went an bidded on it---well thats ther own stupidity...no one is getting screwed, yet just realizeing their own stupidity. Profit it not a dirty word int his country

The problem is that this guy put the xbox BOX on ebay knowing there are idiots out there who would think it was the whole xbox.....he didn't put the box on there because he really wanted to sell the just the box, he did it to screw someone and knew that before puting the box on ebay......So that IS FRAUD anyway you look at it.....you can argue all you want about it was clearly stated that the item was just a BOX, but it doesn't matter because he set out to intentionally screw someone and did. I still say someone should report him to ebay so none of us honest people get screwed by someone like him.

How is what I did fraud? I actually wanted to sell the box. Didnt think some dumb person would end up bidding 325$ on a stupid box. Report me to ebay?....for what?... that is rediculous. Its not my fault people cant read. I did not break any rules in ebay therfore I guess I am an honest guy too.The guy who ended up buying it didnt pay a big price for messing up. I could have easily made him pay for the whole thing. He was cool with everything and he told me he was thankful and that he would read everything on ebay in full from now on. So he is fine.

Try to get people to report me on ebay......Now thats funny!:beerchug:

all right how is it fraud- fraud is a form of lying or deceiving --- he diddnt decieve or lie to anyone he just told them what he had and that he was selling it i mean for god sakes the auction said clearly somthing to the lines of"nothing is inside the box" also it said THE BOX IS COOL CUZ ITS WHITE i mean come on how clear is that... the reason you seem to think you can report this guy to ebay is because YOU personally have it set in your head that he was trying to screw somone over---well sorry to break it to ya but what you think doesnt matter--what matters is what was printed on the auction---which was nothing but factual information---now not that this matters but I THINK that you once upon a time got screwed over by somthing like this because you diddnt read anything---i also very rarely buy things on ebay and when i do i read and reread the auction so many times i almost have it memorized just to make sure i kno what im getting into

Alright man, whatever floats your boat!.....Mustang on!

As original as it is, its been done, multiple times. When they first came out, people sold one for like 800 bucks. A psp went for a good amount too for just the box. However "funny" it is, you cant tell me you took the risk of starting the auction without the intentions of someone falling for it. Im glad you didnt take the guys money, but it was still a dickhead thing to do. You put the features of the xbox on the page, and had someone just skimmed it, they might have missed the part where you said it was a box. Its not a matter of reading skill, but how many auctions do you read EVERY letter. Especially the fancy ones. Just my opinion.
