Wow. I cant believe people bid on that. There are more, some even more scammy.. some that say " Factory sealed - New in box - free shipping" in the description.

peepol are phuckin retahded yo

TheMob · 10-07-2005, 01:34 PM

I like it, great idea!

Of course, ebay won't make him pay 1k for a tv.

sicone · 10-07-2005, 01:34 PM

$910.00 for a email acct.... fucktards

TheMob · 10-07-2005, 01:35 PM

especially since it's listed in TV's

poisson · 10-07-2005, 01:35 PM

I could be foold, where's the catch?

edit: nevermind, that's loser

They are agreeing to buy that email address for $1000. That auction didnt even sound scammy at all, it told what the fuck it was very clearly.

Jimbo · 10-07-2005, 01:35 PM

you gotta be fucking stupid to bid on that lol

will that guy be forced to pay?

Please... go READ THE description........ what are you buying? Come back and answer

FuqALot · 10-07-2005, 01:37 PM

its probably the lister bidding.. all bids are from a new username

xlogger · 10-07-2005, 01:37 PM

He listed it in the TV section, so i think ebay will can this.

There are many others.... search for gmail, and completed items.. TONS of completed listings in the $200-400 range

10-07-2005, 01:38 PM

He's probably just bidding on it using some of his own fake accounts. All bidders so far have 0 feedback. I can't believe anyone would be stupid enough not to read the auction before bidding.

edit: someone already mentioned this by the time I hit reply.

detoxed · 10-07-2005, 01:39 PM

I'm going to sell domain.com @ gmail.com LOL

Forced? If he figures it out before he pays, I'm sure that he'd rather fuck up his ebay account than pay $1000+ to a scammer.

Kevsh · 10-07-2005, 01:47 PM

looks like 2 morons are in a bidding war - but the description is very clear. If they read it and want that email addy that bad, then hey, are they really getting scammed?

On the other hand if they realize afterwards they are just getting an email address I wonder if they'll be successful getting a charge-back? The ad is clearly deceptive as it is in the TV section but the seller will point out the item desc. clearly says it's not a TV ...

tonyluvbmw · 10-07-2005, 01:49 PM

its a scam but the highest bidder right now is also a scammer too. he has 0 feedback and he is probably just bidding on it so that he win and not pay

detoxed · 10-07-2005, 02:03 PM

Look At All The Pages Of Completed Listings Like This!

steffie · 10-07-2005, 02:32 PM

wow, I should auction off all of my gmail accounts.. anybody wanna invite?? he he he

Radik · 10-07-2005, 02:37 PM

yeah nobody would be that stupid..

Yep, it's hardcore--showing a pic of a TV and then a disclaimer that is a GMAIL account. Talking about ebay rips, my buddy was ripped in that big cheap laptop scandal at ebay 2 years ago. What a rip.

brilsmurf · 10-07-2005, 03:01 PM

aaargh i have to pay 910$ for an email, stupid me

lol

BoNgHiTtA · 10-07-2005, 03:12 PM

But thats a very rare and unique email address. It has to be worth that, or more.

Im bidding now.

emthree · 10-07-2005, 03:52 PM

Very straight forward, no hidden catch.
Those bids are just fake, it's a mock auction made by friends and retards bidding for kicks.
