Want to know where you can get a new PS2 for only $20?

Now you can find out. All you have to do is be the high bidder on this auction, which is currently at $18 million dollars.

If only Dr. Evil knew all he had to do was sell a few "information" packets.

from what i've heard, in most of the (winning bid gets info on how to get a console cheap) auctions, if you win u get a piece of paper saying something like.. pick one up in walmart and run out with it under your arm.

I'm sure it's a link to a "pyramid scheme" type of thing.

It works, it's just that you have to be one of the very first people to hear about the pyramid and actually participate before everyone else does.

If you read this auction, you'll see that you don't win by bidding; hence, the reason why it's up to 18 million dollars.
All you have to do is see the auction; there's a Paypal link to send the money to, and they'll send you an email in return with the "information".
It's not a real auction. Think of it as a classified ad in the world's largest circulation newspaper.

It's not a pyramid scheme, here's how it works.

There are websites that reward you for signing up for things. For example, I know there is one that provides a list of businesses for you. For each one you sign up for and use them as a reference, you get a "point". Once you get 20 points or something, you can get a free DVD. Of course you are going to get on a hellacious spam list, so don't use your main e-mail address, and most of these trial things you'll be signing up for require a credit card and require you to manually terminate your trial period or else you'll get billed, so you're going to have to visit them all a second time and cancel your trial subscriptions.

I have a friend that does this for the free DVD sites and I'd say he has probably received 60-70 free DVDs. He says he can get a free DVD with an hour's work. He has no job, so all he does is click away at these things and get free merchandise. To get a free PS2 it would take you several, several hours and you can only do one per mailing address and per e-mail address.

So for the money they will give you the links to these websites, like:

There. I just saved you a $20. Feel free to fill the tip jar on the way out.

I always thought that sperm banks should have tip jars. Imagine the crazy children made after 20 people leave a "tip" LOL

I did one of these close to a year ago. What they did was send a web site address that you have to go to and sign up. I was wanting to get a good camera for cheap. This site only deals with company's. To get the great price you have to order 100 or more, and you are invited to every show that these foreign company's held. The show were in like China and Japan ect. I think that you had to show a company tax paper, before you get to buy anything. I deleted it all after about 3 weeks.
