If you look at the high bidders last auction, it too was a wind up.
$3000+ for a P3 Notebook, so obviously the account has been hijacked and someone is just taking the piss.
Still funny though
Super, i doubt there's a need for such news ...
changed name 2 oct and bought psp 3 oct
I tried selling a laptop a while ago and some *****s from Nigeria jacked up the price ridiculously high and then tried to persuade me to shop it to Nigeria and after I send the conformation slip they would send the money...Yeah, right.
If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is.
Great advice.
Somebody must stop them from getting the computer chip to the nuclear control station. 10 year olds, anybody?
Same with my Palm T|X. A guy jacked up the price then asked me to ship to Nigeria. He said he would pay me via Online USPS Money Order which DOESN'T EXIST. THERE IS NO SUCH THING! How do I know? My dad works in the USPS. It's bogus and FYI Africa, specifically Nigeria, counterfeit MOs (Money Orders) such as the USPS & Walmart MOs. The so called "Confirmation receipt" they send to you saying to pick up your money in the post office the next day is bogus and clearly made by someone who has a tacky taste in colors and at best basic HTML knowledge. It basically looks like a survey spam mail. Good luck to the seller who sold that PSP. I hope he didn't jump on the money and shipped his PSP first thing in the morning to Nigeria.
Slow news day eh?
why would anyone be that stupid....
so why is this news? lame qjnet very lame
Edited by Jerico G. (Q.J. NET Staff) , because:
it was listed under "off-topic".
Probrably loaded wit drugs or something illegal nobody would buy a psp for 2k unless your account got hacked in somebodies goin for a joyride
@ # 4 and 6:
I tried selling my PS2 on eBay, and so many people bid ridicioously high and ask to ship to Nigeria. I mean wtf?!?!
why nigeria... anyways.. careful the guy mite try and hack you ...
Wow.... this is just like the ad i saw on CRAIGSLIST with a guy with firmware 1.5 and his "MULTI BOOT SOFTWARE"-devhook taht he was sellin his psp with like 90 isos of games for $1,450.......stupid people in this world
So what? Who cares if it was listed under "off topic".....does that mean tomorrow you can post about Barbies and say they're 10% off at Target? Just because you post it under "off topic" ?
I'm not mad this news was posted, I think it's ok, but your explanation was retarded.....
He put in the wrong number. It was probably meant to be $250.00 or $202.50. Happened to my grandfather. He didn't have to pay for the thing, of course.
He'll probably leave bad feedback too after he gets his account back.
hmm a $2000+ psp coming from flordia??? i'm thinking this psp was gutted and packed with bolivian nose candy! how elese could a psp sale for that much money!
I'd sell my psp in a heartbeat!!! I'd pitch in my 5GB Creative MP3 player to close the deal!!
This is stupid and is a waste of space. There are auctions going for 7k and higher, and is by private ids who are not registered. They having a bit of fun who inflate the price and never pay.
Everytime I sell something on craigslist I have crazy people (mostly nigerians) wanting to buy my items for a whole lot more than retails. Irritates me!
of 0 rating bidders. let me explain: the winning bidder posts a huge large bid minutes before the end. then a 0 rater bids it up to a stupid amount with no intention of paying, however the poor fool who put down the huge bid is actually legally obliged to pay whatever price they bid. its common practice by those desperate to get the item. its also madness in case something like this does happen. this wont only affect the winning bidder it will also pinch the seller because of the fees. 0 rating bidders should have a very low bid limit and fees should be removed if a bidder fails to pay. this is another of the reasons i despise ebay. 0 rating bidders are the scum of the earth when all they do is cost people money - and in some cases lots of it. it is not harmless fun there having - its always at someone elses expence.
This is stupid news...
Lol Jump it down
C'mon... If you're not going to credit pspfanboy.com for all the stories you've taken, at least put up a different image: don't just resize the ones that we have. Not that hard to make a screen capture.
Starting bid: US $2,365.99

and then if you look you can find psp packs starting at a dollar...ebay duz sux
I use eBay all the time (i have a 800+ rating) an have people buy my items all the time without paying, i can gte my final listing fee back, but often not the fee's to list the item in the first place, which for some of my items can be £20+
eBay really needs to sort these nigerian scammers out.
This could also be some kind of cover up... people sometimes use seemingly ordinary online ads or auctions for selling prohibited stuff, like drugs, weapons etc... there could be some hidden code in the item description which tells only the "right" people what they really are selling. Maybe that's just me being paranoid... but then again, maybe not. :P
Have you used ebay anytime recently? He didn't enter in the wrong amount, because in order for the big to go up to that price, TWO people have to enter up to that amount. Thus the reason why the person won by $25. This is how the max bid system works,... you can go ahead and bid $2000 dollars on something, and actually win it for $200 dollars, as long as someone only bids it up to $190 or so. So don't come around here calling people noobs when you don't even know how ebay works....
And yes, don't do ANY dealing with Nigeria...they are ALL scam artists ;)
Wow, welcome to Ebay. First time on it, eh? Every day there are thousands of auctions that end at ridiculous prices like this. Just because it ended at that price doesn't mean he's actually going to get the money.
Man, QJ will post *anything* on the front page as long as it has "PSP" in it.
Drugs?
This guy is an ebay genius, he musta made himself 2 ebay accounts. bidded 1000$ on one and made people think this psp was a superpsp or something, then the people want it and whenever the dumb person bids he bids higher on his other account and soon enough he stops and lets the rich dummy win. :) ebay genius
