New York woman was the winning bidder of an eBay auction for a new Xbox 360...at least that's what she thought. According to Web site TechWeb.com, the buyer inquired about the description of the item up for grabs--"Photo of picture of Xbox." The seller responded that it was a typo, and shipped out the winning item. Days later, an envelope arrived with a picture of an Xbox 360--that's it, just a piece of paper.

Her winning bid was more than $600. The Xbox 360 retails for $299 for a basic package, and $399 for the premium package



I know this is old but I just learned about it, and I laughed for hours.
Have you heard of any other such cases? I am sure same thing will happen with PS3.

That reminds me...
Anyone wants to buy my photo of PS3? Whoops, maybe I made typo Big Grin

Actually, he wasn't lying when he said it was a typo. The item was a "Photo of picture of Xbox", which would be a typo if what he was selling was a "picture of Xbox".


whoa.

I tried to sell a bag of Lays potato chips on Ebay. The bag is special in that for some reason, it only has ONE CHIP in it (came packaged that way). Nobody even bid on it haha.

O.K _ball430, I have changed my post.

WTF? I can't edit my first post in this topic? Probably because I made that post under different IP. Oh well. Once I go back to my College in Barrie I will change it.

Anyway, here is my updated statement
