Last week, some poor chap bought this Xbox 360 picture for £470 (US$833) from eBay. Notice the third-last sentence on this second picture below. It reads “This auction is not for a Xbox 360 system, but instead a picture of one”.

The $823 Xbox 360 Picture

Kinda pity the victim, but I sure had a good laugh. As with any online purchases, one should always read through every single word, terms and fineprints. Scams like this can happen anywhere, even offline. And I hope none of this ever happens to my dear readers like yourself.

But then again, maybe the guy really wanted the picture? :roll:
