segreto Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 http://games.yahoo.com/blogs/plugged-in/man-buys-picture-xbox-one-750-200637663.html Ummm... He's 19 and has a 4 year-old son and he has his 5 minutes of fame. So if I put up a picture of SSD and say it is a picture of a SSD, people will bid on it like it is an actual SSD? I think the seller should keep 1/2 the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOrcKing Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 I was wondering if stunts like this were going to happen yet again. As for the buyer in question, he had to be around 15 years old for his son to be born. Wow, that is wicked young. Course some decades ago, who would have batted an eye at such a thing? Times have changed with peoples lifespans significantly lengthed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@rtisan Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 At least he is reportedly getting his money back. Shady business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOrcKing Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 At least he is reportedly getting his money back. Shady business.It is a shady practice. Listing a picture of a console for such a high amount is no different than someone listing a bootleg as an official Lego product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if someone as tried an air guitar and shipped the buyer an empty box? In any case, this is just a reminder for everyone to read the small stuff regardless of the pictures. Really sucks that people do this, but at least Paypal/Ebay have policies in place to try and provide protection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Raichu Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 People need to read item descriptions carefully. How is this different than someone who bought used LEGO set on eBay thinking it was new even though the auction clearly stated "used LEGO" ?

TheOrcKing Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 True, this is possibly one of the best cases for reading the description down to the last minute detail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
