Another prime example of humans getting in the way of the learning process.

All this dickhead learned was he 'got scammed', when what really happened is he's a fucking idiot who can't read a description and parse that information - her got exactly what he paid for.

Might not be an ethical thing to do, selling pictures to trick people, but sometimes when one gets tricked, one deserves it.
 
The 19-year-old student, of Bilborough, had saved up in order to buy a limited edition Day One version of the console as a surprise Christmas present for his four-year-old son, McKenzie.

Bullshit...
