eBay scammers

I just bought an XBOX 360 on eBay for a really good price (£70).

And now when I look at the auction again I realise that IT'S JUST A BOX!

THERE IS NO XBOX 360 INSIDE IT!

Woe is me

What would GDesus do?

Damn!

Do you think that's the guy who sold it to me?

Gdesus would read auction descriptions more thoroughly.

Didn't the fact that £70 for a 360 seem a little bit too good to be true?

No, I don't think it is. That's completely out of the question.

I just thought I was getting a really good deal, man! How was I to know?

I am crying rivers right now

Actually some hands reached out of my monitor and started punching me in the face saying "THIS IS JUST A BOX!!" but I thought that was just part of the auction. Y'know, to stop people who aren't as dedicated as me.

Yeah man, a bit of common sense would have caused you to run a mile. if there's one thing that remains true in this world it's the old adage that "if it looks too good to be true, then it usually is".

It just wasn't realissitic to expect anyone to sell an Xbox360 for that money, anyone selling an item like that would have a reserve to prevent a low final sale price.

Business is business, boxes are boxes. Lets not let this come between a passing internet acquaintance.

Congrats on the box. Use it wisely

Got a link to the auction? I think the OcUK detectives need to get to work on this one.

He loves us all, apparently.
