You won't believe what I just got for my birthday.

I can't believe my eyes!

Folks, look at my new BroadBand adapter. I'm kissing my monitor... I want to burst into sweet tears of joy. You don't know how long I've been wanting this. Finally, I got my parents to get it as a birthday present.

Oh happy day!

I believe it's 10-100 times faster than a coder's cable. Also, I'll be browsing the net and playing my DC online now...

First two I'm definitely getting, third one I'm going to beg for.

Lets just hope it's not a fraud. Right?

Wait... unless you are desertrose20002, didn't you loose the bid?

Sorry, I just thought you'd go with something like your forum name.

Wow. DC online would kick ass. I hope this item isn't a scam like my little Dreamcast incident.

After much investigation and such (so extensive that I'm not even going to tell you about it), we've decided that it is a scam.

No worries, I didn't pay that fucking pig yet, and we're bidding on other BBAs...

Extensive research? What, checking the seller's history?

Oh man, here we go.

You see, the guy has all negative feedbacks except for one. The one guy that left him a positive feedback has only bought like one thing and registered sometime at the end of June. We've concluded that the one guy that left a good feedback is just an alias of the seller.

The item he bought was sold "money order only" on July 2nd. So you're telling me that the guy sent a money order from Nevada to Florida, and the seller recieved the money and sent the item in a time frame of two days? There is no way in hell.

Also, I just so happened to meet a person who was also slicked by this prick.

Trust me, this guy is going to regret life. I don't care if he never did rip me off, but the thought of him not only not selling me my dear BBA, but also taking my birthday money won't leave me.

Time for operation fuck that fuckbag.

I say we should all gather very E-Bay scammer in the World, and burn them at a giant stake, and then skin their dead flesh and eat their brains.

Dammit I'm starting to sound like Dark Crusader. *Goes to a rehabilitation clinic*

Time for operation -KAZAAM!- that fuckbag.

Everyone I've bought from on Ebay had like a 99% positive feedback. I wonder how he got so many morons to buy from him.

Some people are clever enough to do that. The basic rule is that you shouldn't buy anything on E-Bay if it seems too good to be true.
