    Ebay attempt to be funny

    Does anyone find this "sale" to be inappropriate

    Is something wrong with me, or do you guys see a this as a poor attempt to be funny.

    The seller is our very own, t33kyboy of AO, and hes trying to sell a PICTURE. The details are deliberately misleading to scam someone. I see no humor there. Jus sharing my views with AO.


    I do know the AO sig rules, I just want a free sig pic, that's all! :mad:

    At least it says picture in the title. But it is sad and not funny. I right clicked save as and I got it for free.
    Hey, look at that! It's Santa!

        He's quite clear in the description that it is for a picture, and not an actual gun.

        Besides, as of this time, he's up to $41!

            i wouldnt go as far as to say your horrible just because your taking advantage of someone who is willing to buy something and not read up on it.

              Unethical, he knows what he is attempting to do. He actually brags about it in another thread (read down):
              Paintball Talk is the main forum for Automags.org. Here is where we talk about the sport of paintball in general and make announcements relating to the forum and website.


              Its just "bad form"
              "[T]he evidence also strongly suggests that neither Billy nor Adam could have invented what is claimed."

              -United States District Court judge G.M. King,
              on Smart Parts' patent claim, August 23rd, 2004, page 16.

                i feel bad.

                anyone know how i can contact the bidder and tell him hes bidding on a picture and not the gun. If he still wants to spend $41 on a picture, thats fine with me... just want him to be informed.

                quikkk and i win.

                    I think someone posted one of these a while back... yeah pretty sad but if you dont read what your bidding on you deserve it.

                      Dear god you guys, he clearly states in the description that it is for a PICTURE, he doesn't say you get the cocker. Did you read the description?

                      Fully customized Ripper cocker: Ripper body kit ($400 alone, Shocktech bolt, Freak barrel w/ 12" AA front, Dye rocket LPR, Dye rocket ram, Black magic reg, Twisted cocking rod, Worrblade, Freeflow internals, Custom ano done by MaxAnodizing. Note: You are bidding on a picture of this cocker, no marker. This is one of the sexiest markers I have ever owned, now I let you share the experience. Auction winner will be emailed the picture of the gun.
                      Doesn't sound like a scam to me! He clearly states it is for the picture! If anyone is stupid enough to not even read the description then I think they deserve it. And myridechanelle, do you know t33ky? I doubt it. And you would go so far as to say NOT to trade with him!? He's a scammer eh? No. If he ever did scam someone I can guarantee you AO*Nor*cal could be found at his door asking him what happened. It seems like responses get more and more moronic every day, put some thought into what you say before you press reply.

                          LPB - well he kid's kinda pushin his limits. he gives full specs, than he gives a note. the font is tiny, or so it shows on my screen. In a way the title fits the purpose. Like thread titles, they say "PICS TIMMY FOR SALE PICS PICS"

                            Wow, thats soo wrong man, but it almost makes me wish I had thought of it. I wonder what's going to happen when the auction ends.
