    There are so many of these auctions...I don't what happens to them but I'd love to know where their information comes from.

    Well that was my point and how can the title be "Game Boy Advance SP NIB Free ship" and then just be information on just buying one. It looks like he's just trying to rip off newbies. You'd think it would be Keyword Spamming hes not selling a GPA SP NIB

    My only problem with those listings is they clog up the search results when you actually are looking for a real GBA, or whatever.
    I only need 2 more NES games (US)!

    It's a pyramid scheme. You sell so much product, and then you get one free/really cheap, or something like that.....

    There is hardly anything in life that is free.

    Actually he is probably selling a link to www.freevideogames.com or www.freedvds.com you can basicly get games/systems/dvds for nearly no cost. It's not a bad deal but you do need a credit card. It was also discussed here http://www.digitpress.com/forum/view...590&highlight=
