A friend of mine recently sold a ps3 email address on ebay for $1100. Naturally , the winning bidder was pissed and opened a paypal dispute. My friend decided to let the auction speak for itself because it was clearly stated that the auction was for a ps3 email address and not a ps3 itself. well get this.... Paypal found in favor of my friend, the seller, and he gets to keep the $1100.

Anyways, if you are trying to scam someone out of their ps3 for christmas it is relatively easy, and ebay doesn't seem to mind. HA!

A fool and his money are soon parted.
 
I totally agree. but a resourceful asshole.

He actually got death threats and such in the comments when he dugg the story.
 
Shoe mentionas that he cloaks his sites but you will probably get terminated from adsense if you are caught.
 
I kept seeing those on e-bay and was wondering if people were actually interested in the e-mail addresses or stupid enough to think they were getting a ps3.

It is fucked up to do that to someone, but if your dumb enough to fall for it you deserve it.

Some of those auctions aren't obvious - had a look at eBay: PS3 Playstation 3 60GB Retail NIB email Free Shipping! (item 150068749855 end time Dec-10-06 13:22:25 PST) and with the Buy now and no disclaimer saying the bid is for an email, I can see how one can be fooled.

Thats evil - totally wrong, I hope the person who bought the email address from the OP's mate gets his money back.

This is a farce, time to send an email to theregister.co.uk everytime they highlight stupid ebay auctions they get pulled.

I heard someone fell for an advert they thought it was a PS3 but they got 3 PS1's
 
On a somewhat random aside...

Anyone see the new silver PS2? Methinks parents might accidentally buy it thinking it's a PS3.
