Bwahahaha.

lol, good one :)
I dont see why people would care that much about someone using a pic tho. The only reason I can see the harm is if the pic doesnt show the true condition of the item. Sux for the buyer then. But other than that I dont see the what the big deal is.

[Darth Sensei]

Well this guys is stealing bandwidth from the site owner who owns the pic. Bandwidth isn't free.

[jajaja]

Hm.. true, but for a priate auction. Wont pull much BW.

Well yeah it DOESN'T show the true condition of the item. Hello. The auction says in tiny print on the bottom it's missing the entire upper half of the game!

As opposed to those pics show a fully INTACT Coleco Pacman.. (and heck, with box and instructions even) LOL

Hello to you too, nice weather we having eh?
Ok hehe, I didnt read the small print, but I was talking generaly, not just about this auction.

I e-mailed the seller and told him "dude... you got OWNED. hahahahahaha"

Nothing long or nasty but certainly irritating. His response...

"Bro, I don't know who you are, what you're referring to, or who you think you are, but please refrain from sending messages to eBay members without having intent to complete a transaction. For SOME people, this is the household's primary source of income and they certainly don't need your smart-ass remarks coming out of left field when they're trying to operate an honest business! I'll ask you one time......do not bother me again unless you're paying me for an auction!"

I like his use of the term "honest business"

LOL

[philosophyst]

Ha! Primary source of income? I sure hope not, the seller has been registered for 6 years and has a grand total of 40 feedbacks.

Maybe the guy that started the auction doesn't even realize that the picture was changed? That's what it seems like.

I didn't even noticed it was changed until I read that picture.

[fishsandwich]

This guy is a serious ass (but then again so am I.)

I got my cellmate (ok, office mate) to e-mail him.



My mate wrote...

HI. DOES THE PAC MAN GAME COME WITH TEH BOX AND INSTRUCTOINS AS PICTURED? THANKS.



The seller's reponse?

NO IT DOES NOT. AT THE BOTTOM OF THE LISTING YOU WILL READ THAT NONE OF THE PHOTOS IN THIS LISTING ARE OF THE ACTUAL ITEM I'M SELLING. SORRY FOR YOUR MISUNDERSTANDING, BUT I HOPE THAT THIS WILL TEACH YOU TO READ ALL AUCTIONS COMPLETELY BEFORE BIDDING....GOOD LUCK AND THANKS FOR LOOKING!


:hmm:

No he didn't...



Yes he did.

"I HOPE THAT THIS WILL TEACH YOU TO READ ALL AUCTIONS COMPLETELY BEFORE BIDDING"


Place your bids, folks! We've got an honest seller just trying to make an honest living here! What a guy!

:bullshit:

[Avatard]

Yea, but IT HAS THE BATTERY COVER. RARE OMG L@@K!!!

[fishsandwich]

Well, look what happened! He ended the auction early and re-listed it with an honest photo that shows the game's shitty condition. I am shocked.

:eek 2:
