Have you heard about people selling an "Xbox box" on ebay? Some moron bid $500.00 for it and it's just the box.

There's another guy who's written "XBOX" on an old cardboard box and is selling that with a big disclaimer letting everyone know that it's not an actual Xbox, it's not even an actual actual Xbox box, it's just a box he's written on and this guy is getting bids.

Are people just stupid?

The listings have aparently all been removed by ebay now, but XBOX put a warning on their web site about it:

Be Careful What You Buy: Empty Xbox Box for $200 on Ebay

Be careful what you bid for on Ebay. One 'lucky' buyer ended up spending $200 on an empty Xbox Limited edition box - no Xbox, just the box. In what seems like a complete act of stupidity, the buyer, known as echo910 grabbed himself a bargain, something he can leave as his legacy for his grandkids....

Here's the full details of the listing:

Up for auction is a mint condition, limited edition Xbox box. It has No scuffs or marks and looks rather nice. Use it to impress your friends by making them think you have a spiffing brand new crystal xbox sat at home, or carry it around town in a see through carrier bag to be the envy of geeks everywhere. This is the must have accesory for gamers.

The Winner paid £115.00 (Reserve met)

Here's the sellers comments: Fast payer, but a bit rude. And should read auctions better before paying.
And Here's the buyer, echo910 comments: never buy anything from this f***ing w***er £120 for a box

You gotta be thick to actually fall for that, but sometimes people just get so excited cause they see a great deal and they forget to read the fine print.

Lol. That's purely hilarious.

I can't believe they would place a 120 pound bid on something before reading first lol.

It's really not a scam. Just the buyer's stupidity.
