PSP for USD 2000


Just two things: either it's some sort of a scam or things have gone heaven crazy. We really do not know but on eBay, a PSP value pack was just sold for a whopping $2,025. Based from eBay's posting, the dubious seller (username Gusling) comes from Daytona Beach, Florida. We say dubious because Gusling doesn't have any reviews whatsoever.

The PSP pack come with titles Tony Hawk Underground Remix and Twisted Metal Head-on. Also, several accessories were included like the headphones, USB cable, AC adapter, 32MB Memory stick and a sampler disc. The PSP itself includes a v2.60 software plus a web browser. The seller is even proud to announce that the handheld, is flawless and new looking.

All those accessories does not add up to $2,000, not even a thousand bucks. Price of a typical new PSP pack is just around $ 250. Furthermore, this item only has a total history of four bids. It started from $ 121 which was okay. Then it was sky rocketed to 1,000 dollars then again to 2,000 dollars. Curiously, the winner only won it by 25 dollars.

Via eBay and qj.net

Lol, a guy from my hometown sold a plot of land on ebay. It was straight in the middle of the local ghetto, total craphole property. It prolly only cost him a couple grand to buy the property, and he sold it for $25,000. It was funny, in the description of the plot of land on ebay, he said it was .5 files from downtwon, 2.5 miles from beach, etc. All of which was true, except, oh yeah it was in the aids/crack/murder capital of the tri county area. Some people are just not smart consumers and will buy anything without researching it first. You can imagine the people who bought the land's reaction when they saw it for the first time.

It's a good scam for that PSP...because some kids qill use an ebay bot that will put up a final bid at the last second for you. So all this guy needs is a buddy to keep the bids going and hope that the dood doesn't check his auctions before the end of the run. If all goes to plan the kid will have the final bid and will Hopefully not inquire about it....but yeah 2000 bucks is a bit steep.

Usually the scam works if it's withing reason....it's a good dishonest way to make an extra hundred bucks off your item.
