i wonder if i could sell 'tips on how to get a golden ticket', like a golden ticket ebbok or smething and then email and say "buy a kit kat" to the winning bidder.

you can but i'd use a new ebay account so not to ruin your feedback.

end of the day you're doing nothing wrong. I remember a while back some bloke putting an advert in the paper telling people how to earn money for very little work just by sending £5 and an SAE. All he did was send them a note telling them to put an advert in the paper like his.

You may get away with it but you could also get negged for the pleasure, why not do an auction as follows

TITLE - Big brother golden ticket

TEXT - Just but a kik kat for a chance to win

There are so many sellers on ebay selling kik kats but writing the auction in the way that people think they are actually bidding on a golden ticket and some ebayers that don't read auctions properly are getting suckered in. There is one seller who has started an auction for a kik kat at £500

2 reasons why not Slowen.

1 - you have to pay for the pleasure of putting the auction in

2 - you're never going to be a millionaire doing it that way

Why would you want to do that?

maybe cos it's easy money.

It might be easy money but it would be at the expense of someone else who obviously doesn't have enough braincells to work out that it's a con and therefore would leave them upset about it when they finally DID work it out.

Perhaps just go out and nick someones purse/wallet, it would save on listing fees.

Soz, sounds a bit harsh but it's a mean thing to do IMO.

Can I please remind all users to read the ethics sticky thread on this forum. I'm not sure how relevant a thread is about attempting to scam people in the context of money saving.
