[psteng19]

I hate ebay scams so much, that I just emailed all the bidders telling them what was really going on with the auction and to retract their bids if they were misled :|

[Oakenfold]

This is so lame.
I'm thinking about making a bogus account just to mess with this...

I was going to say that it looks like there is smog coming out of the tip of one of the buildings in the picture on the LCD.

 

I AM NOT SELLING THE ACTUAL ITEM .I AM SELLING THE INFO TO WHERE TO GET IT FOR MUCH LESS THAN RETAIL.AUTION IS FOR THE INFO ONLY.

 

[MattCo]

What a loser. I would hate to think of some less-than-internet-aware person bidding on this as a gift for someone. Someone should track this idiot down.
