Peter Clatworthy Pays $750 For XBox One Photo
 

When Peter Clatworthy paid nearly $750 for an XBox One from an eBay seller, he expected to get the actual console.

Instead, he just got a photo of it, with a snarky "Thank you for your purchase written on the back."

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.

I was wrong about Trent Baalke. 

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.

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.

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