Who says people on ebay are stupid?

[Agent Plissken]

I am willing to pay $425 but not a cent more...

roflmao That's just so damn sad it's funny.

stuff like this just blows me away. i mean, i KINDA get it... i start all my auctions at $1, just becuase it encourages more bidders, and someone who bids once, is winning for awhile, and then gets outbid, is likely to bid again even if they originally didn;t want to pay that much... it's just a matter of getting emotionally attached and thinking "you are NOT going to take this from me, dammit!"

but really... i just... yeah. how many things have to be wrong with yo damn noggin for you to do something like this? and this is not an isolated incident! remember the $255 someone spent on a $250 walmart gc not too long ago?

i'm thinkin i need to start listing huge-denomination gc's to see what happens...

[Agent Plissken]

The only thing that I can think of is that they stole a paypal account, and want to spend the money untraceably.

[welfareloser]

that actually makes sense... but who was the doofus that bid jsut under the winner? it takes at least two idiots for stupid stuff like this to happen...

[bachviet]

$460 for a $400 GC huh... :disa:

[Agent Plissken]

Its up to $495

[eSDee]

:heh: Great post AP. I dare someone here to make a bid ;)

[Yossarian]

give me the money to cover it

[x1337xD335C1P13x]

give me the money to cover it

give me ur money and ill bid on anythign you want :dead:

[whitak24]

i can't believe it's up to $495, with 14 hours still to go.

i mean, it's one thing when something like that goes for $10 or $15 more than face. stupid, yes. understandable? yes, that too. people to get caught up in these things.

but once you are putting in bids worth 20% MORE than face, you just have to ask the "wtf are you thinking?" question.

[welfareloser]

at this point, it must be the seller bidding up the dumbest... person... on earth.

[Agent Plissken]

I just checked the buyers feedback, he has ONLY purchased online coupons... It HAS to be a stolen Paypal account!

Ummmm...read Agent Plissken's post. He's buying it with someone else's money. So he gets a $400 GC for nothing, no matter how much he bids for it.

[BrewMaster]

that being the case, it makes sense. but eventually it is going to catch up with the crook.

[Hypnotist]

Absolutely... Stolen CC or PP account. Attempt to launder money. All the seller needs to do now is wait for the chargeback.

[gwilks98]

Is it possible the seller is the bidder, just using a different account?

[kei2]

It's possible that the seller is A bidder, for purposes of bidding the item up and then purposely not winning the auction...

[brainsmile]

I won!!! :D

[YanksFanRy]

Thanks for the extra $95 brain, I'll put it to get use!

Whew, so glad that thing sold...

[Agent Plissken]
