Allowing idiots to bid on ebay should be illegal

[Arkillo]

You guys are all ****ing retarded if you think someone's going to pay 20mil for it. No one would pay that much, not even for a hacked version of the new windows comming out, to shut them down. People do shit like this all the time on ebay, which is one of the main reasons I stopped using them. What the seller is selling is technically illegal, and can get fired from his job because of it, but he prolly doesn't care...

Well, before the retard-bid, I think that would probably go for 300$.

*bids 20,000,001*


but yeah even 300 is too much for a game =/

i think u misunderstood me.

i mean he bids that...and the auction closes
then emails the seller or talks to him one way or another and says "no...nvm i cant do somethin like that" or makes up some bs excuse...in which case everything is legal, seller keeps his item, buyer keeps his money

Yes, they can sue, but in the case of the fake Beckham ball that he sent flying, scammers hooked the price up deliberately to millions.

I guess that's what happened. And it sounds deliberate, so nobody will sue.

Um, no it's not legal you ****ing dipshit. Please go read up on American law, because you obviously have no clue what you are talking about.

 

[james_in_time]

roflmao, true its still not legal because u bid on it and didnt pay so he could still sue, unless the seller was really stupid and didnt sue him and just said ok u dont have to pay me or something, but i think it was setup for something, not sure what tho

A. dont get pissed so ez about something so small you scab on the inner side of a womans uterus

B. i thought somewhere on ebay it says if u decide you dont want the item you have the right to void it or something or the other *shrugs* i could be wrong...guess i am.

 

[james_in_time]

ya before the bid ends

uh demos typically dont sell for $55, and come with a strategy guide.

who needs a strategy guide for what is like an hour of gameplay?

Umm...it is like 20 hrs or something, read pcgamer and then talk nub.

 

[Arkillo]

Or maybe he just didn't care about it. BTW; The buyer isn't liable to come up with the amount of money if he
A) is under a fake account
B) Closes his accounts that are tied to ebay
C) Files Bankrupcy

All else, the seller can *but probably wont* sue him for every penny he bid for.
