In Response To: Probably a scam (RVideo)


: I call scam.
: -User could have easily made a never before seen 30 second Youtube clip to
: prove it's authenticity, and NOT used "Buy It Now" (cmon) for,
: what was that, $149? Hell I paid $87 for my pre order. $149 for this? Why
: pick such a (suspiciously) low amount for Buy It Now unless the seller
: wanted to squeak by with this scam quickly?

: -If there really were any REAL working copies in the public sector, we would
: have seen 'leaked' clips on Youtube or Google Videos by now of Campaign
: (not the usual Espilon stuff).
: -Chances are, these are crafty fake auction scams. There could have been many
: ways to prove these real in the images.
: -As a long time seller and buyer on Ebay (8 years sheesh), Ive heard other
: old timers say "If it's five feet away, it probably ain't OK",
: meaning that any Ebay auction item that is small is typically photographed
: as close as possible to "sell" the item, or often they will use
: a high res stock photo. This seller did neither, meaning that they are
: either really stupid, or a liar, or both.

: These images were poor quality (as usual), blurry (as usual), with no
: accounting for the product detail close-up (as usual) with no proof of
: authenticity = SCAM.

: Like I said, if it were the genuine article this idiot could have *EASILY*
: broken a G on this auction (think of all the spoiled kids with million
: dollar parents) - all he (or she) had to do was show something, anything
: that it was real "close up", or even a short video clip.
: Scam scam scam. The end.

: Just my thoughts.

Well, we'll just have to wait and see what happens next... this leak, this sunofdabits.
