ATI Sapphire X800 XT Platinum 256MB Graphic Card NR! $13.49
Two bidder on this card. What the heck are they thinking?



ATI Radeon X800 Pro For ONLY $34.95 $152.50 "This is the current bid" but here is the rest of the story.

You are bidding on information to show you how to purchase a BRAND NEW ATI RADEON X800 PRO for $34.95

Someone is bidding $152.00 for info on how to buy this card for $34.00 This is terrible.

To save us both time, assume I know EVERYTHING :tongue:

This scams been around for months. They were doing the same thing back in June/July. Folks were bidding on "information" as to how to buy a X800XT PE for cheap. How stupid can people be? Real Stupid!!!!

If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything.

The information is probably a link to an auction starting at $34.95 and it says, be the only bidder and get it for that price.

I linked the wrong one on the XT model. Sorry about that.

eBay has become somewhat of a joke to me. Its sad though, the concept has potential. Another thing that really doesnt make sense to me is how they do the feedback for each buy and sell. If your the buyer "Im sure that buyers make up the vast majority of eBAY'rs" you are stuck in that if you give the seller negative feedback for any reason then guess what they are going to do. They are going to give you a negative feedback. Most sellers that I have encountered dont give a feedback rating until you give them one first.
