I was about to get all pissed off about the second auction, but this made me realize the incredible deal that I could get on shipping
(just kidding, of course).
Good point about the remarkably similar photos and angle of the game - quite the "coincidence".
Really, I know it's easy to get all outraged about stuff like this, and I know that anyone can decide that they want to get as much as they can for something and make an auction like this. What bugs me about this is that it's not just some random dude who bought a game and decided he wanted to try and turn a profit, it's a member here who knows better and knows that they're trying to take advantage of people. For what it's worth, I think NA members are educated about stuff like this and should be held to a higher standard (Now I'm looking forward to that sentence coming back and biting me in the ass for a long time
. That second auction...I'll just shut up about it. It looks like they had quite the plan, though ("Only one other auction like this on eBay!")
But, whatever. And whatever the result of this is, my favorite come-back that I've seen in situations like this is when the person who makes these (bunnyboy, in this case and in damn near all cases) throws some up on eBay at his price and kills the scammers auction. Always good for a laugh.
