Scammers and idiots

[ashiXIII]

Funny to see how everybody is concerned with these auctions.

Once I cared too. I had a fake eBay account and I bid on these kinds of auctions, never paid and left negative feedback. Of course this account did last long, but it was fun while it lasted.

Now I just don´t care. Let the suckers pay $x00 for something fake and learn a lesson in life. There are so many scam auctions, it isn´t even funny.

You believe this guy, for example?

At least this is sandpapered CE being passed off as Beta, with MULTIPLE PEOPLE reporting it to eBay, and the auctions still going off. That's actually really ridiculous. Oh, BTW there's an "Alpha" Timetwister up right now. It's sandpapered CE as well. Here's the link:

I always thought that it would be nice to make money from things like that.




Then I realized that I have integrity, so that idea was out.

There seems to be a flood of bad fakes on eBay recently, even more than the usual crowd.

          The only solution - buyer beware. Nothing else can save people. It is hard to get stuff taken down at times, so people really need to know what they are doing when spending any amount of money.

     I'd love to be able to personally shut down every single scam, and warn every single buyer, but it just is not logistically possible with the large market place that is ebay, and the internet in general.

Eh, this is actually a pretty good idea, IMO. If it makes you feel better, it's not about protecting the suckers as much as preventing the scammers from making money. And it keeps the average value of the card higher, too.

The sad reality..

Scammers seem to be everywhere around us. But on the Internet.. they do not just seem, they are.
