Am I Reading This Correctly?

Quite clearly advertised as a box for £171...

Surely not

Any potential ~~moron~~ buyer would have no recourse here would they?

Or is a box, A BOX actually worth that much???

vanandjuanunited · 23 Apr 2014 at 20:42

Yup its an expensive box

Burnsy2023 · 23 Apr 2014 at 20:45

A scam as old as eBay...

I'd assume you'd have no trouble getting a refund though as the "item specifics" and "detailed item information" contain enough misleading information that you could easily argue that it's not as described.

It's got scam written all over it, i hope who ever buys it does indeed get a box for being so thick.

the description isnt misleading, its pretty clear its just the box

I don't read it as a scam. I remember the X-Box box scams with poorly worded adverts, but this seller clearly says that it is a box that would replace a tatty one if the buyer wanted to sell theirs.

I blame the idiot bidders, not the seller on this one. (no, I'm not the seller!)

MonkeyBasher · 23 Apr 2014 at 20:51

He does clearly state its a box twice BUT hes also listed it as WiFi % Blue Ray capable with a power supply and a 500GB hard rive. So its incorrectly listed and violates eBay rules.

Also you can check his ebay rating and his past few auctions. Its not his first suspect auction.

The people are idiots for spending that kind of cash without properly reading the ad.

Reported.

The potential buyers might well be idiots. Doesn't stop the seller being an **** of the highest order though.

marl · 23 Apr 2014 at 20:59

I hate this kind of thing... Can the seller be reported?

NoNameNoNumber · 23 Apr 2014 at 21:00

I'm with Luke here. It's CLEARLY A BOX. Hopefully it explodes in the winning bidders face upon arrival in keeping with Darwin and his theory.

The box appears to be pretty high tech.

Can he return the box in the grounds that it doesn't match the advertised specs?

[edit: I just reported the listed as "misleading item for sale". If more people report it douchebags like him will have their listing removed.]

It would appear so. Unless Bazza means he has reported this thread!

Cruel....

Bargain!

Edit: Also sold "White House Down (DVD, 2014) ultra violet code unwanted and unused"... I guess the poor disappointed seller got what was advertised.

shaank · 23 Apr 2014 at 21:21

It worries me that people actually bid on that!
