An innocent eBay seller tried to sell a friends “like-new” condition Powerbook. Unfortunately, the only interested “buyer” showed all the signs of being a scammer. The average eBay member would probably become another statistic burned by a lowly scammer. Fortunately, this particular seller had a little more common sense and time on his hands. Instead of acknowledging the fact that the actual sale was never going to happen, he decided to play along with the buyer. Read through the email exchanges after the jump. Words do not do this wonderful 3-ring binder Powerbook knockoff justice.
crap I remember reading this years ago. No offense, it’s just a little a little dated.
It is dated. It’s never graced the front page here so I figured I’d share. I’d never seen it so there has to be a few other readers who haven’t seen it.
Like I said, no offense intended, UNEASY always has new info, I’m just surprised to see something so old. :)
that is SWEET! holy crap thats hilarious. my favorite was the windows logo key. ROFL!
Thanks for sharing, this is the first time I’ve seen this! Completely BRILLIANT!
The crossed out Windows key was funny. I have to say that hand scrawled dock and firewire ports where the best. Then you have the trash icon with the words “this is real”.
