A post to induce epilepsy.
You know those guys who actually bought PS3s and actually sold said PS3s on eBay? Those guys are okay in my book now, relatively speaking. They don't need to anymore. They can get off with just .
No, no it is guys like THIS that really and truly need to . Then again, serves right the people who were apparently far, far too retarded to actually read the full description of the auction before blindly bidding (emphasis and colored text changes are mine):
"You are bidding on the contact information for my friend who acquired a PS3 by waiting in line outside Best Buy for two days in advance. I was there with him the entire time, but already sold mine. He has in his posession a PS3, extra controller, extra charger, three games (Resistance, Madden, and Ridge Racer), and a 2 year product replacement plan. Keep in mind that you are not bidding on an actual system, but only the information where you might obtain one. You will be able to contact him and he is very willing to sell . The unit is in the Atlanta, GA area and he would be willing to deliver in person if close by. PayPal is the only payment form accepted."
Unless of course, you know, they really did knowingly and willingly intend to bid $1,100 just for right to talk to this guy about possibly selling his PS3 to them "if the price is right". But, yeah, that auction is so shady it could block out the Daystar, so I'm not at all surprised some idiots fell for it. Not surprised in the slightest.
P.S.
Don't worry. I'm pretty much bored with this thing after this post, about like I got bored with thestrikethrough thing a while back.
