    For that price, it better come with Angelina Jolie or at least half a dozen of those real life Laras.

    Yes, there are many suckers at eBay. Thankfully. :)

    I am looking to sell my Compaq CQ60 soon. Got it for $300 at Best Buy a while back. It's in good shape, but was searching eBay to see how much I could fetch for it, and saw one that sold for $1200! All the rest were like $300-$400. Someone was a real sucker.

    Yeah, really. I just couldn't sell it for that though. I have a disease called a conscience. For $1100 though, it's a deal! :)

    Lmao, well it is good to see people still have a good sense of ethical conscious.
    It does make you wonder how people can live with themselves screwing people like that. Oh what is the world coming to... ' back in the day i used to leave my door unlocked' ;)

    i left my garage door open once (on accident of course) and all my dads expensive power tools were lined up in the drive way and his brand new table saw was gone. :/

    edit: back on topic: that game better come with a pair of knit booties!!

    My favorite eBay story:

    When the Xbox 360 first came out, one guy was selling one on eBay for $5,000.The discription was ''just the box''.A guy assumed it meant just the Xbox 360 with no controllers or extras and bought it.Turns out, it was just the card board box that the 360 came in! :eek2: :laugh:
