    Unbelieveable aren't they?

    People get excited when they think they are getting a bargain I suppose.. He must be getting excited there waiting for that auction to end...

    Would be a shame if a scambuster went and spoiled it for him wouldn't it? ;D

    HAHAHAHAH thats so funny

    omg like the guy who sold a xbox box for the same amount about now that was funny

    but surely if you say in the auction your selling a xbox box then thats what your selling?
    Same as this dude selling a picture!

    im thinking I should also start selling pictures looks like there is a niche in the market ;D

    except in this case the guy is still in the wrong as he's listed it in the "video game systems" category when it should be in the "photographs" section ::) ;)

    ::) It seems that for every idiot seller on Ebay there are 10 idiots who want to buy from them.

    Wouldn't worry too much though, high bidder has zero feedback and was only registered yesterday - looks like a Scambuster to me!! :D:D

    The sod got onto it and cancelled the bids, unfortunately the person who had been bidding hadn't got onto it, i hope they do before they pay all that money out
