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.

3,050. now.

OK, this is obviously recognized as a set up. Even if this was legit, who'd bid over $3k for that stuff?

What's funny is that Ebay is gonna expect thier percentage...

Make sure you use PayPal.

Hey, how much did that women get for the Virgin Mary half a grilled cheese? Sad that there are, but there are people out there just waiting to be taken.

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

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.

**Rogue1987** · January 2nd, 2005, 12:34 PM

The seller ended this listing early because of an error in the listing.

Oh well, on x-box picture for me today

Who would have guessed?

**Rogue1987** · January 2nd, 2005, 12:38 PM

Is the picture about retracting your bids normal?

I Don't go to e-bay offen, but I've never seen that.

**noone** · January 2nd, 2005, 01:02 PM

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.
