Dude's 19 years old and has a 4 year old son. Methinks he's not the brightest when it comes to making simple judgement calls.
A co-worker told me that years ago he answered an ad in the back of a magazine that pitched a method to make money fast. He put $5.00 in an envelope and mailed it off. Lo and behold he received a letter back from the advertiser which simply advised to place an ad in magazines pitching methods to make money for five bucks a pop.

That's awesome.

Common sense would tell you that nobody would sell a picture of an x-box for $750. That part of his brain probably took over. It's probably what the con artist expected to happen.
The listing clearly stated that it was only a photo, and not the actual console itself. Is common sense dead?

Not that I'm sticking up for the guy that shelled out the money, but many times you will see something advertised with the disclaimer saying that the actual one is not showed.
Lives just 20 miles down the road from me. Good advert for Cex though who are a glorified pawn brokers

I kept buying ex-ray vision glasses from ads in comic books, and sea monkeys.
Everytime the glasses were defective, and the sea monkeys drowned.
A 19 year old spends 750$ for a video game system for his 4 year old son.....I can't. I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

I had forgotton about that scam. Those adverts used to be very common 25 years ago, back when people read magazines.

That's exactly what I was thinking.
I wish someone would reward me for my stupidity.
