    Usually when someone is selling a box only or an email address, they mention it more than one time. I love how the guy says, "Once again, this is for a Nintendo DS Lite Slightly Used box." He uses the words "Once again" as if he has actually previously mentioned that it is a box only in the description, but this is the first and only time he actually mentions it.

    I personally won't buy anything off eBay that uses a stock photo. I find that usually avoids lots of crap sellers.

    I had to read it about 8 times. Maybe he left the "in" part out on accident so its suppose to read "in box". But on the other hand he makes no mention of it being a system not in the title and he left it out of the item specifics.

    This really pissed me off.

    So much so I actually wrote him to let him know how much of a jackass he is without the profanity, but still getting the point across.

    I really hope someone does buy it only to not pay

    EDIT: I emailed him and he fed me the same load of bs about it being a test. He thanked me for reading the auciton and apologized for getting my hopes up.

    We should all report him for misleading title. He states you are bidding on a DS in the title, not an empty ds box.

    I am going to report him, link below:

    You can only enter the item number, probably wont work, but its worth a try. I just reported it.

    Here's my initial message to the Jackass seller:

    "WOW. How very low of you. Making it seem like you are selling a Nintendo DS Lite with the description AND TITLE, but no. It's just a box and dinky game for $110. I hope someone buys it and then doesn't pay to waste your time."


    Here's his slimy response:

    "I didn't ask for you to be spiteful ^_^ Although this is just a test I'm doing, to see if people ACTUALLY pay attention. And quite frankly, when the TITLE says Read Description, you ought to. I'm not doing anything 'wrong,' I'm simply conducting an experiment. I'm sorry that you seem to have an obligation to let me know that you wasted you time talking with me ^_^. Quite frankly, I've plenty of time to waste. Apparantly you do too, since you made this message.

    Have a wonderful day!"

    He is charging $110 for a box and a game worth $15 and he claims hes not trying to trick or scam anyone. Yeah right.

    Hi there. When are you going to post more items on ebay? A big group of us are just waiting for it. You have been mentioned on several message boards and added to numerous --favorite sellers-- alerts. We cannot wait for your next --experiment--

    Notice how he kept the bidders User ID private, so you cannot warn him of the scam.
