Reminds me of the X-BOX box scam of a few Christmases ago.

I hope the buyer hasn´t been an old lady who wanted to share her pension for a nintendo for her grand son or such.
It will likely not have been a person with good sight.

I would love to empty a bucket of liquid manure over the seller anyway. Plain hate that cynical smarty mentality.

if you're stupid enough to not read it and you bid on it, then you deserve to get scammed. That's not eBay's fault.

Drew,

What is stupid is the idea that the appearance of someone to be stupid would equal the right for him to be fooled, cheated, punished ... or whatever.

The preceding attitude being razzing the kids in the school who can´t follow.
The further version of this primitive way of thinking being people who hate animals for them being "so stupid" and thus kick after them ( as I have wittnessed when I lived in an environment with many stupid individuals.)

This kind of thinking however is more stupid then the object could ever be. It is the mislead imagination of cleverness to be a moral authorization or something completely idiotic like that.

If one won´t feel for creatures that appear blind, slow or whatever less capable, but instead feel like those would need to be penalized then it would be him with whom there is something basic upside down.

Besides of the specific psychology behind it, I have found people with such kind of conclusion to have been very poor and unsupported individuals. Just what you can expect from cynical minds. People who are too stupid to realize how many mistakes we do daily, them included. And who don´t have the intellectual background to understand how flawed it is to persecute mistakes.

In fact I can´t think of you to mean such sort of premiss for real, considering what I think to have read from you before. I´m sure that you´ve just been ironic.

Actually, I just wrote this to deflate generally about what I dislike so much about cynical dwarfs and frigids. Those worms with extremities.

This is great for the seller.... cash wise.... but not rep. wise. So some pure noob is getting bent over the counter for this. Yeah.. he/she shoulda paid more attention to the auction but I still have no repsect for people who do this. dfegad seller

i think some need to take a few more ethics classes!
ethics, morals, and respect lead to less law.
which means more freedom for all of us.
just because you able to F#$% someone does not!!!!!!! make it right.
have some respect!

I was refering to Ruphus and was joking. note the smiley.

Of course the person running the auction is a complete jackass, that goes without saying. I was simply refering to the morons who bid on stuff like that without even reading the auction completely.

All you need to know about ethics: what goes around comes around.
