"NO, I repeat, NO $1's, $5's, or $10's within the 120 stack of bills!!!
There can be up to $12,000 alone, without the other items!!!"

Glad he didnt mention 2$ bills. Otherwise he might actually sound legit.

Imagine 120 two buck bills. :lol:

A fool and their money shall soon part.

I thought the same thing when I saw it.

could be 120 phone "bills" or water "bills"

He did say US bills, though I guess that's open to a number of interpretations. I'll be interested to see what happens with this one...

He can be true to the letter of his post and still screw someone pretty hard.

$2 bills, a $30 DVD player from Wal-Mart, a 286 computer running Windows 3.1, a NES console, etc. Hell, he doesn't even guarantee any of it works.

lol he is doing a great job with presentation however. Someone asked if it was utility bills in the question section and he replied U.S. Dollars.

Where the hell would he get his hands on that many $2 bills? I thought they stopped printing them.

You can go into the bank and request them, not sure why anyone would want to, well... except for this, I guess. Heh. Clever.

It's almost worth watching just to see how bad the person who wins gets screwed. I bet he'll try to delete any feedback if the person comes back all pissed off.

Actually, you can read his score to see how many times he pulled feedback after scamming people with wholesale lists and video game cheat codes.

Considering he's already standing to make over two grand on this auction alone, though, he can probably afford to just burn the account and start a fresh one up. That or he'll pad his feedback with dollar bids in other mystery auctions and eventually repeat the process again.

I agree. I skimmed it briefly but there was way too much stuff going on to even want to read the whole thing.

Sad thing is Ebay won't do anything about people like him and he'll go on scamming people.

You think that others would be smart enough not to bid on it. :duh:

yeah, it's someones own problem if they walk into a scam like that....


Damn people are stupid.

He has a fairly decent feedback score, people who said they won $50 or even people who lost money who "enjoyed" the "game" enough to leave positive feedback. Of course, those could all be his pals. The wholesale list things cracked me up, I thought it was obvious from the auction listing what he was selling.

I think it's kinda shady how many of the feedbacks have been mutually removed (the ratings that is). All of the ones removed were negatives and it just seems a bit odd all around.

It does teach people a lesson though, if it looks too good to be true it probably is. I read through some of the old auctions and it does state that the auction is NOT for the item pictured, but for a list of how to get it or something like that.

People don't read. They just assume.
