    yeah fair play to the seller, he's not done anything wrong.

    whether he gets his money is another thing though!

    How can people say the seller has done nothing wrong? Do some of you have ANY morals at all? He knows exactly what he's doing, and he's trying to scam someone. It's also clear that someone with a bit of common sense has killed the auction and isn't going to pay up. It's that guy that should be praised not the seller.

    Come on boys and girls, take a long hard look at yourself if you think the seller has done nothing wrong. ;)

    This site is about moneysaving, not earning money by scamming people.

    Morally it IS wrong
    however,
    NO-WHERE does it say anything at all relating it to any currently running national retailer promotions


    it's a very clever ploy to get money i'll admit, but, a game card he is selling, and a game card they'll get

    supply and demand i'm afraid, and demand of liverpool street monopoly game cards are soaring at the moment
