yeah, ebay and roms.. this one auction gave me the impression. the guy had 5k game titles he bought the rights too ( his sales pitch would make you believe). I was thinking he would have some random stuff. so i thought.. i dunno what i was thinking i guess.. anyhow, so i bid 12.00 and won.. then turns out i bought the web address to a popular rom webpage.. you know rom google would find for you. hah. the guy returned my money no questions asked.. but dang. i felt dumb. be careful guys with ebay. iv only been ripped off three times on ebay.. but.. it sucks just being ripped off once. I also hate listings that are miss leading.. and unless you ask exact questions you get taken. had that happen too. but that was my own fault i just assumed.. chris. |

The entire auction was worded in such a way that gave anyone the impression the Xboxes was the item. If you read all the way to the bottom, there was a small blurb clarifying the auction was actually for the guys photo of his Xbox. By that time the auction was already $800 or so. I emailed every one of the bidders with a reference to the blurb and sent a message to eBay about it. Nearly every one withdrew their bids bit eBay allowed the auction to continue because of the blurb at the very bottom of the page where no one would actually read it. The auction ended at less than a hundred but still...... What's the old saying? A fool and his money are soon parted. |
