An auction saying this??? It costs money to post auctions, and this person spent a few bucks (like 1 or 2) to do this? Wow, must have really hated the pyramid scams!

yep, thats what i thought, you gotta really hate them, before you spend money on it. Also if people were to bid on it as a joke, he would have to pay a percentage of the final cost of the auction.

I was also wondering, how do people search for their phones? I frequent E-bay, yet have only come upon 1 of these auctions (selling a link to a phone), and that was only because I wasn't searching, I was browsing.
Whenever I search, I do specific searches, and ALWAYS find what I need (not always at the price, but at least I find the item), with very minimal junk in the results.
By the way, anyone got the URL of this "anti-auction" auction? I'd love to read what the guy wrote to try to stop people from bidding on pyramid scams!!! (As long as you have the URL of the item, you can ALWAYS view the item, even long after the bidding has ended!)
Anyone got the thread of the person who insists that some pyramid scams are real? I'd love to read that also!
Thanks!!!
Ethan

The highest bid is £200 - for a link
That's halfway to the cost of the phone.

yep, i seen people bid 80-100 quid for a link for an xbox. could get one second hand for that price. if you look around at the auctions, you can sometimes find auctions that offer the link for free.
