the stupidity boggles the mind ...in essence the person paid $335 for absolutely nothing

 

[RoyaleWithCheese]

Ouch, that's one way to throw away money

 

[OCybrManO]

I bet the "information about obtaining one" is:

Steal it.

 

[SpArKs]

Total prat!

 

[OmegaX]

Once he finds out what he did he probably won't pay. If he does then what an idiot.

 

[Sanada]

$335 for some information... hope it comes in a gold plated envelope.

Not surprised people bid on this stuff. The second bidder (from winner) bought a 100 clothes hangers for $1.73 and a clear one for $7.

[Chrysalid]

Ahahahaha. Still, that's not as good as the "Sony PSP BOX" thing The dude sold a chunk of cardboard for $250

You're legally required to pay if you win an auction on eBay, if you don't you can get sued, iirc there IS no excuse for winning an auction and refusing to pay, so if he doesn't, he'll be recieving a large hefty "fine".

 

[Ren.182]

You could make a living selling things like this on the internet! :O

Stupid people.

 

[Ev!lP!e]

U hear about the guys that baught an Xbox 360 box, that cracked me up, it went for £250 + if i remember right, how dissapointed he must have been when he got his box, owned.

Actually it was a PS2 box and the auction title went something along the lines of

'PS2 box(ed missing obviously) in time for Christmas!!'

No this was definately an Xbox360 it was rather recently, maybe it was the same guy, or a person who copied it from the PS2 box trick

 

[Ennui]

rofl, what an evil thing to do, but i suppose there's a market... no shortage of idiots on the internet

 

[Tollbooth Willie]

ROFFLE my WAFFLE! True that, true.

I remember a moron auctioned off a decommissioned Rocket Silo.

 

[DreamThrall]

and a clear one for $7

Look again, the auction was for 50 of them.

Not unless you and the auctioneer come to an agreement to not buy the item. Happened to me once before.

Buying 12 tons of uranium is indeed something be thought through.
