RedM Posted November 30, 2005 Author Share Posted November 30, 2005 It’s not even a genuine box. He made it himself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 wow that's a lot for a cardboard box! The add clearly states what you are getting, not like some adds where it's a small one liner hidden in the text somewhere, the buyer can't blame anyone else for this mistake!

carl0s Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 I wonder why the seller is no-longer registered though? Do you think he got in trouble over it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDO Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 I remember some one done the same when the PS2 came out.. think they got away with it, as it was an sale as "PS2 BOX as new".. I remember the buyer complained saying he thought he was bidding on a "PS2 BOXED as new".. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamAhead Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Yep agreed, very clearly states it's just a box. Some very stupid people out there Or they have more money than sence :rich: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 You reckon? well the only thing I can see that he's actually done wrong is list it in the Consoles category instead of the Console Accessories category! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoffvalenti Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 [RANT] I'm sorry, but I just see all of this as very wrong It is just unscrupulous sellers exploiting naive buyers. If you look at the examples quoted, both buyers only have a feedback rating of 2. This means that they are inexperienced in the ways of eBay. Although, superficially, it could be construed as funny, I can't see how scamming £500 or so out of someone just before Christmas is in the slightest bit amusing. OK so the buyer should have read the advert better, but the seller was just trolling for the gullible, and TBH its things like this that get eBay the dodgy reputation that its got today :thumbdown [/RANT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
