I wonder how I never hear about sellers getting 'payback' from those idiot buyers. It's bound to happen. That's $500+ they're looking at here.

The seller should have a reserve on that auction to protect them from a loss. Also, shipping was said to be "first class" which is false because after 2 pounds, everything is charged at Priority Mail or Parcel Post, both would cost about $40 for the PS3.

>2 lbs. for a wristband? That's some seriously heavy paper.

Nope, but I won a similar one to it. It's the best way to get a PS3 right now, even if you don't even want one (great deals).

1. The auction title says "wristy" instead of wristband. What the hell does wristy mean? :confused:
2. The auction title says 60 GB (twice) as does the auction description. That does not pertain at all to the item being sold.

I hope this scammer rots in hell.

:confused: They didn't have a separate launch for the two versions.

It's an obvious attempt to mislead. The bidders are stupid (if they pay), the seller is an asshole.

yeah but if they took 30 seconds to read the fricken auction they would know what it is for.

sure the title is misleading but the auction itself is not. there is even a big picture of it.

I do not feel sorry for the idiots (both buyer and seller are idiots)

If someone bid in that auction thinking they were getting a PS3 they are ungodly stupid. The auction is a little deceptive, but it's pretty damn obvious you're not bidding on a PS3.

The photo he has there is linked to Photobucket... it wouldn't be difficult at all for him to originally have a PS3 image there, and then change it to an image of the wristband after the auction.

Still, it's fairly obvious reading the text of the auction that its for a wristband, not an actual PS3...
