These are one of the oldest con's going, they usually end with the punters paying £50-£100 for a cheap plastic camera worth no more than £5 but they're told it's RRP is £400.

Punters leave shocked that the sale has early before they could get what they wanted (not that it was ever there), but happy they've got a bargain - It's only a very short time later when they realise they've been given aload of rubbish and the conn's are long gone.

BBC3 did a series on con's called 'The Real Hustle' in which they demostrated how it was done on the public - I expect it'll get repeated

I've been in about six Boots stores now and none of them had any mp3 players (the only decent thing I saw was an Xbox, which I wasn't bothered about). Guess I was too slow on that offer!

You do realise they are knocking these out at a tenner a time with two games and an extra joypad do you ?????????????????????
