When you consider how much it costs to put stuff up on eBay when I see shit like this it pisses me right off. I wouldn't mind so much if they were isolated incidents, but fact is they aren't.
While its downright sleazy he does say specifically that he is not selling an Xbox. Anyone stupid enough to actually bid on it kind of deserves to lose their money so they know to actually look at what they are buying.
What you say is true, but (and I've been guilty of this in the past too) a lot of users for fear of being outbid will quickly read through some auctions downright missing out entire chunks of information and thats the type of person twat's like him are doing things like this for. eBay should have people monitoring auctions to make sure stuff like this doesn't happen basically.
