Got a message from a guy (not the seller) after I placed a bid on a 9800 pro on Ebay.
He directed me to this link. Isn't this sort of thing illegal here in the good ole US of A?
Posted the link but it doesn't work. Anyway here it is- www.epinch.net

Let me see if that works:

Epinch.net

EX: Radeon 9800 xt requires 18 new agents to join then you'll get the product for $39.99 as we promised.

18 x $39.99 = $720 Then we use that money to purchase your graphic card that cost $550 after Tax, and we make $170 for profit and you'll save $510!! SAVED OVER 90%
This makes perfect sense! I mean, I can find 18 people to donate $40 to me for a video-card. They seem to neglect the fact that each person under me will be SOL and they essentially donated $40 for nothing.

Sounds like social security to me.

That's why we should have Private Social Security. I don't want to pay for a bunch of lazy people that make up the majority of ATOT ;)

Social Security is a mandatory pyramid scheme based on age.
