OMG! It sold for $255 plus the $345. Man, what a rip off. I saw this here before. Is that the same one?

 

[bonkers325]

where is the url for the video card

 

[isekii]

i bet it's probably his friends bumping threads to get other bidders to pay much more..

 

[TripleJ]

How hard can it be to do a quick search for the lowest price? Makes you wonder about some people's intelligence doesn't it. Hey, I could make a killing on that site.

 

[tigerbait]

do a search for url on fleabay and you'll see tons of stuff like this.


btw, see here

 

[TripleJ]

Sorry isekii but the bidding's closed.

 

[Bozo Galora]

This means this moron will pay $600 for a G3.

"A fool and his money are soon parted"

The $64K question: did he really think he bought a G3 for $255?

This seller cant be faulted: he made it clear. If you look at his other auctions he is selling lots of other URLs (mostly for paintball stuff)
I wonder what I could get for a $60 256MB ram URL??

Edit: Damn, seven posts in the time it took me to type this!

 

[Hamburgerpimp]

They should crack down on that sh1t.

 

[stonerdave]

damn it! repost!

where is the url for the video card

i don't know. i saw a thread in HD for this card for under 350 or so from necx a while back. i had ordered it and maxed out my cc my the time it was back in-stock. no geforce3 for me!

 

[tigerbait]

Exactly. The seller did nothing wrong.

One guy wrote in his retracted bid message, " Wrong item, this is false advertising."

False advertising?? The guy used the word URL around 20 times. It is definitely the bidder's responsibility to know what he/she is bidding on.


url for video card

 

[bonkers325]

yes anyone can pull a stunt like this but it is wrong and can u live with it
its clearly they are ripping people off and getting away with it

yes they stated clearly but the fact is they are trolls

 

[The Wildcard]

Jesus, these people have to be careful, hahaah.

And it is not false advertising.

 

[tigerbait]

I agree that the people are trolls, and that I wouldn't do something like that, but the bottom line Read the Description Carefully.


BTW, what happens when the high bidder says he isn't going to pay for it? Does fleabay ban him? I have never had a situation like that happen?

 

[Sugadaddy]

OK people, laugh all you want, but at least I know where to get one if I ever have enough money to buy it...

depends
usually they let u off once
but after a trend nope
but if u complain a lot about someone egay takes action

 

[Bozo Galora]

&quot;a bid is a binding contract&quot;

 

[TripleJ]

whoops

 

[TripleJ]

I never look on these sites like eday but, for crying out loud, they have some of the biggest rip offs I've ever seen. It rivals that of department stores. I thought people who bought things online were a little smarter than the average Joe Blow. Never ceases to amaze.

i think it was the same thing, but a different person doing it

 

[Bozo Galora]

thats why StonerDave exclaimed &quot;double post&quot;. He didnt notice other.

 

[Johnnie]

one of the best ones i saw was an auction for the PSX2 &quot;box&quot; and original receipt..
