Is This a Scam?
 
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=1384867899

I've seen this at least a dozen times on Ebay
anyone know what the hell this is?
or have bought it?

Of course it's a scam. If you have to ask... that's your first clue. ;)

sounds like he tella you places you can get these prices for.

so used PS2,Xbox and GC for a certain price(I believe EB has them for that)

new games for those prices of course but they will be the sucky games that did not sell.

Kingdom Hearts for less lets see $5 off $35 at amazon plus free shipping and no sales tax :(

what a joke. sadly people will fall for this stuff :(

I was thinking the info was more like "get yourself a business license and then here's a list of distributors who will sell you games for wholesale (which is only a few bucks off retail) and then get rich selling on half.com."

So it's like this:
1. bid on his information and win
2. steal underpants
3.
4. profit

this should be the tip off it's a scam..

YOU ARE NOT BIDDING ON THE ACTUAL GAME, BUT ARE BIDDING ON HOW YOU CAN GET IT CHEAPER!

My friend, for the hell of it, bid on one of those things a month or so ago. He was just sent an e-mail with some web sites, and was given wholesale prices, as Trigger said. Of course, the obvious catch is you have to buy in huge lots. To get those prices on some things my friend looked at, he would have had to buy in lots of 1000 units and such. Not happening......
