Of Idiots & Ebay...


In the good old days, you heard about a couple idiots getting stiffed at the local pub or in some dodgy nightclub in town... those days are far gone... with the technological wonder that is the internet, now idiots the world over can be duped from the comfort of their homes...

Take "barclay147200" of the United States for example... he/she placed the winning bid of USD 51.00 on a "New 20" Flat Screen LCD Computer Monitor Wholesale List"...

Personally, I do not believe that the seller, "jena541" cheated "barclay147200" as the item description clearly stated that the item for sale was a "New 20" Flat Screen LCD Computer Monitor Wholesale List"... and not a "New 20" Flat Screen LCD Computer Monitor"... Besides, would a starting bid of USD 9.99 for a "New 20" Flat Screen LCD Computer Monitor" imply in a way that there was something fishy about the whole auction... Where in the world are you gonna get a deal like that??? If you tell me that there is such a place, you probably still believe in Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and the "Perfect Woman"...

I mean come on man, didn't logic kick in... Didn't a little voice in your head go, "Hmmm... This can't be right"... Argh... Stupidity and not reading the fine print frustrates me... Well at least one good thing came out of the whole auction... "barclay147200" saved another 5 idiots from purchasing the item by beating their bids...
