eBay scammers

Angel · 2 Mar 2006 at 11:39

I don't get this selling a box thing on Ebay. Am i the only person who would either shove it in the loft because it might be useful or add value to things (like my corgi boxes) or shove it in the bin/recycling because its worthless.

I mean listing the item waiting for the acution to run then taking the box to the post office packing it up and sending it off. Who would want a 360 box anyway why would you buy a box?

Feel sorry for you mate i'd be well ****** if that happened to me. I read and re read then get someone else to check the corgi model listing so i don't get caught out. Brought a chainsaw on the bay once, all sorts of thing were going through my head when it didn't start and all the nuts where air wrenched tight. Got it working in the end great relief.

The link does say box quite a lot but i do think it is a scam 60 quid for a box :rolleyes:

Rule # 1
If it sounds too good to be true, then it is ... and not even probably

Rule # 2
If it sounds too good to be true, then it is ... and not even probably

Rule # 3
If it is about £100 cheaper than everywhere else, prolly is also scam. This rule ESPECIALLY applies to High-end, and High in demand electrical goods.

Cmon, how "duuuhhhh" can you get, and Xbox360 for £70, might aswell buy a Genuine Molex watch from street vendors in Thailand.

You only got yourself to blame. It clearly states "BOX ONLY".

Chalk it down to experience--in future, read everything properly.

To the people giving serious replies... the thread is a joke.

Ahh right, is it one of those "in jokes" that isn't remotely funny to anyone but the select nerdy few "in on it"?

Well if you are being serious (I hope you aren't) just suffer a neg.

Well, if you'd taken the time to click on the link to a previous overclockers thread above, then the penny might just drop.

I'm not going to read pages of crap but I have read the opening post.

I just don't see the point in this thread if it isn't true.
