Some people.. They disgust me, but then again they did say it like it was.

does anyone have an ebay accoutn they dont really care about? i got one , but i care about it. WEll i will bid $14,998 on it, then you bid 14, 999

this will rise the price to 14,999 and when the auction closes, he will ahve to pay $168 dollar fee to ebay, and you jsut dont pay him, all that will happen is you get a warning, and if you dont caer bout your accoutn that dont matter. some of you shoudl do it! teach that b*****d a lesson.

That would be funny as hell but couldn't he just stop the auction because I'm sure he will catch on?

This has been going around a lot lately.

He has kind of covered his bases though. The others have always said "Free shipping!" when it was a picture of something e-mailed to you. This is deliberately misleading and can be called "Fraud with intent to deceive" But this guy here says that it's a box in the description and I'm sure you do receive the box, plug, pull through squeegee and thread cover. Then he even says read the description carefully.

This guy is doing nothing wrong legally.. Morally, he's guilty... but legally... he's free and clear.

I once concidered doing it when i really needed some cash. But i decided not to... I mean i would be really pissed off i just dished out 800 bucks for a picture of some kids alias. And id feel mad guilty after.

Thats funny though, i once saw a box for an xbox being sold on ebay too. haha

Wow! This really is odd. The top bidder canceled his bid (I would like to think I had something to do with it) and the remaining bidder, runobruno22, who has it bid up to $99 has done the same thing to another member and gotten bad feedback. From looking at runobruno's past auctions he sold a bogus box and got good feedback from the guy he's buying this from. They are either the same person driving up feedback scores or two guys working a scam off each other to drive up scores.

That one is run by the same guy who's winning the auction this thread was based on. He's only bidding on the other one to make it look legit and draw attention. The seller of the other one is bidding on this one. Either they win money or drive up their feedback. Scumbags.
