Don't look like anybody has fallen for it though - the only bid is from a 0 feedback member, which I'm sure is probably bogus just to help the auction look more authentic.

Lamer!

He has screwed himself over by having no grasp of grammar.

You are bidding on a perfect picture of a used XBOX ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM. The picture includes 1 (one) used XBOX with all necessary power/audio/video cables, 1 (one) standard XBOX controller, 1 (one) additional controller, and 17 (17) used games: Hunter The Reoconing, Nascar Heat 2002, Spider Man, Bruce Lee Quest of The Dragon, Shrek, Max Payne, WWF Raw, Dave Mira Freestyle BMX 2, All Star Baseball 2003, Halo, Dead Or Alive 3, Fusion Frenzy, NHL Blitz 2002 NFL 2k, NFL Fever 2002, SSX, and Oddworld Munchs Oddessy

Bolded "includes" for emphasis. He just said that the picture comes with the following items. "Portray" would have left him safe, "include" leaves him legally liable.

Actually no, he said the PICTURE included those items, not the auction

Yes, the sale of the picture does include those items, that is his problem. A picture can't include any physical item. Portray, display, represent, show. All good. Include implies a physical presence. Poor grammar on his part.

On another note, why the hell can't you report auctions to ebay? A real group of asshats run that site.

No , they have been doing those kind of auctions (info for getting something free or cheap) for years , your link is one of the "all most scam" ones because he puts it small print , where most say it up-front , but many dumb-buts still bid as much as one would cost in the store because they read nothing :sad: .

:sad: Yeah, I know, and it's pathetic what they try to pitch to people, I associate em in the same group as the guy with X-box, just a-holes trying to take advantage of knaive people, this one imparticular just pissed me off because of how blatantly he was trying to gyp em, hell after sifting through Ds after Ds, I nearly missed his "fine print".

Ah hell, no use in getting worked up about it, he'll get his. :flames:

Is the picture about retracting your bids normal?

The last of these I saw, the "buyer" of a 1,000$ laptop picture offered the seller a photocopy of a voided check as payment. He seemed to think it was fair, no word on what the seller thought.

HAHA,, not only was the original auction a scam,, But the idiot had copied and re-used another scammers HTML.

Now in the past 12 hrs the original scammer has changed the pictures linked to his url a few times telling people NOT to bid.

Um,, the latest picture he has added/swapped is extremely graphic ! :rolleyes:

Im actually amazed Ebay hasnt totally removed the listing so it comes up as an invalid item. Last I had looked the guy had like 5000 hits last nite.
