    Default I HATE auctions like this!

    I thought with some money coming in from selling my FF7 guide I'd pick up Doom 3.

    Bad luck so far -- I missed one auction for a total of $25 (with shipping) cause I was'nt signed in and another one for the same price cause EBay refused to refresh!

    So I'm looking for what else I can get, and found this:

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...140677539&rd=1

    I HATE sellers like this with a PASSION!

    Well, I'll keep looking -- hopefully I can grab one for around 25-30.

    He's probably talking about these last few lines of the description...

    Please note you're bidding on the info for where to get Doom 3 for PC absolutely free of charge, not the physical game.
    I don't like auctions like those myself...

    Exactly. :/ You would'nt notice that unless you read the ENTIRE description VERY carefully.....something that not everyone else does either. I almost missed it myself -- only caught it because I was thinking 'for this price, why has'nt this gone yet?' After all, a Doom 3 with a BIN of $25 plus $6 shipping went as I was thinking about getting it.

    And he's doing that with several auctions. I'll report him.

    So I'll keep looking for a decent price.

    Ended up getting one from a great seller in Canada for $29 total. Not bad....just shipping will be a little slow.

    Just curious, how much did you sell your FF7 guide for? I have one for sale too, but you make it sound like mine may be underpriced! What is it worth?

    Thanks, it went a little cheap compared to some past examples, but best I could hope for with no camera.

    He definately needs to be reported to 'Ebay! He's a fraud!
    If they made a movie out of your top five worst sins, what would it be rated?
