Default eBayer pays £470 for photo of Xbox 360





All well and good, as is most of the extensive blurb accompanying this tempting offer. It's worth reading right to the end, though:

Hmmm, two separate images made to look like they're related.

Your scam is rubbisher than a rubbish thing.

looks like a hijacked account - the guy has too much good feedback to be a con man. If he was a con man he would have done it a lot sooner for a lot more than this

this is no big deal, its just retard tax.

anyone paying £500 for something from a random member of the public and not collecting in person is a fool and doesnt deserve the £500 anyway!

Your standards must be a little lower than mine, I would call 92.6% completely ****.

That is not fair really - Also I doubt it is a hijacked account or the seller would have put that it was a real xbox in the advert.

What did the title of the auction state? If it said X Box 360 photo then fair enough but if not it is not really true.
