Is it just me...

... or are some Ebay users completely insane?

See this link.

 

I'd say that it isn't you. Have you seen the Way off Base for today? There's others that are worse than what you posted.

 

The site now redirects to a page saying how the auction got hijacked and is now being reinstated at a more sensible bidding level

 

I still haven't figured out the attraction of Ebay, people selling junk for stupid prices, and other people lining up to pay...............DUMB & DUMBER

When I just went to the link Lev it stated the item sold for $5,700 USD NO redirect

 

Did you get your Wii through ebay, too, MA? I thought they were going to hit the shelves alot cheaper than that...

 

Weird. I get redirected to a page that now states it has been sold, but for a $700-ish

 

I think if you scroll down the page Lev, you will see that the bidding closed on the Item Mada was talking about and the winning bid was $5,700 USD, the top of the page just shows the Open bids

 

You'd think, having just got back from Starbucks, I would have worked that out, wouldn't you?

 

Hey its FRIDAY remember, wait till you get "Oldzimers" like TimW and me, then you forget what you went to the Bathroom for..........

 

Depends on what....................snicker Haven't quite lost "IT" yet Timmie, and just what the heck were you thinking bidding $5,700 for a PS3, when you haven't even mastered "Pong" yet........Boy that statement dates me, remember sitting around the old CRT TV without remote playing "Pong", and programming your first comp, by flipping eight switch's to write "Hex" code.............................We've come a long way man

 

Nah....I'm never going to be like you guys...I have my own CRS going on

But we divulge from Mada's point........

 

Oh I just can't resist Lev , but then maybe I shouldn't "Divulge", this because it "diverges" this thread from the topic. See girl the "Oldzimers" is sneaking up on you too

1 Shot in Conn. Playstation Waiting Line

By STEVE FEICA
Associated Press Writer

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) -- Two armed thugs tried to rob a line of people waiting for the new Playstation 3 game system to go on sale early Friday and shot a man who refused to give up his money, authorities said.

In other states, customers pushed and shoved their way to the shelves to get at the limited supply, and in Kentucky, four people were grazed by BBs fired from a passing vehicle as they waited for a Best Buy store to open.

The two gunman in the northeast Connecticut town of Putnam confronted 15 to 20 people standing outside a Wal-Mart store shortly after 3 a.m. and demanded money, said State Police Lt. J. Paul Vance.

"One of the patrons resisted. That patron was shot," Vance said.... Click Here to Read More

Honestly, I'm more looking forward to playing the Wii than I am the PS3. Don't get me wrong I do want both, but I'll be happy with the Wii first. We did get the PS2 before we got the Game Cube (someone loves the Zelda games and it ain't me... me it would have to be Castlevania), so I guess this year it will be different.

Soooo.. you got your daily bucket o' joe?

 

How rude!! When were you made the Typo Police?

 

Thats why PS3 is the best system out there today...you never see that kind of news when the X-Box 360 came out

 

If you think thats bad, look at what people are charging for the PS3's after they got them.

 

Holy cow!!! How sweet of them to ship for free

 

Sorry Madame, just Sargent Major BCGray with the Royal Canadian Typo Police/R.C.T.P. here on assignment at Major Geeks

 

Dontcha mean the Canadian Reading Assignment Police ?




Back to the thread...do people seriously spend that much money over Ebay without seeing the product first anyway? I wouldn't, and I've bought and sold stuff on Ebay for years.

 

I sometimes wonder that myself, but even though I've bought and sold stuff on eBay for a long time as well you won't have me going overboard for buying something that's in short supply. I still have my lesson when buying one particular book went out of hand before. It's a lesson that I'll never forget.
