> Man Pays $900 for playstation x 3
Bookmark topic
How gutted would you be, if you'd just paid $900 for 3 x original playstations, thinking it was a PS3

In what's sure to be a frontrunner for the "oh snap" moment of the day (or year), a presumably frustrated, delusional, and impatient individual apparently forgot to read the fine print on his latest eBay win. While it's no secret that PlayStation 3 units have been selling for incredulous prices, snagging one for $900 probably seemed like quite the deal at the time; however, the poor sap failed to realize that he /she just committed almost one thousand dollars to purchasing three original PlayStation consoles. To make matters even worse, no games, controllers, or heartfelt sympathy was to be included, leaving the unsuspecting buyer in quite a bad predicament. No, we don't actually think (at least we hope not) that this fellow / lady went through with their purchase (although it was snatched up at the "Buy it Now" price), but if they did, we've got to look at the bright side -- that free shipping saved him / her a bundle.

Or he's going to have one hell of a shock when he eagerly unwraps his packet when it arrives, and finds three old PS1 consoles then realises his mistake!
Though the seller has worded that auction rather sneakily and subtlly, with no pic so a bit of a scam in itself!

Though it was ended early, that probably means that the current high bidder had emailed the seller with a much higher priced offer - means that the transaction's done still within ebay's protection, and cuts out all the scammers, timewasters and morons you'd get if you did stick a buy it now price up. Plus it saves on the listing price!

It's obviously worded to confuse, but technically the seller has absolutely nothing wrong. As there is no law or rule against selling three Sony PlayStations for $900. The seller in no way mentioned a PS3 and so carefully worded, this is how you make $900 on three systems now not worth much if anything.

I remember when the PS2 first came out in the U.K.
Someone paid a lot of money for a empty PS2 cardboard box because they didnt read the Ebay listing carefully.

With such a large purchase, I would've made sure that I read all the fine print.
Silly guy.
