I don't see what you are talking about. Happy- It appears to be small on my screen too, but about 2-3 weeks ago ALL type on my intrenet became miniscule, so I can't really say if that is deliberatly small. I really think there is nothing wrong with that, if the person bidding is stupid enough to not even read the description where it clearly states it is for a PICTURE then that is not t33ky's fault.

well i personally noe t33kyboy and i have to say.. hez pretty evil. hez alwayz tryin to sell dumb people stuff and isnt that kind of takin advantage??? i mean wat if it happens to u, i dunt think anyone would wanna pay 41 dollar for a picture.

Well, I don't think it will happen to me, because apparently I am unlike the people bidding on that as I read descriptions before I bid on anything

You norcal people know what I do for a living. And I am telling you right now that this is shameful behavior on the part of t33k. YES, its listed in the description, but a lot of people will just read past the part talking about it being for a picture, especially since he goes through all the trouble of listing the parts for the cocker. He is smart enough to know that no one is going to bid on a picture, so why would he post it up on ebay, except to deceive?

And for those of you who are saying stuff like "People should read the description, its their own fault" I ask you if this is the type of society you want to live in? How about the poor old people who are scammed by con artists, should they "know better?" How about an excited young person who is browsing ebay, thinks that they are getting a fantastic deal on a gun, and go ask their parents to help them bid on it.

As far as I am concerned, I don't want to see t33k show up at any of the Norcal AO events if this is truly the type of person he is.

hahahahahaha this is too funny. People need to be punished for their ignorance.

[TeamNausea]

Yeah, I guess i would like to live in a society where the people can read and have some common sense.

[spacedtedybear]

I kinda have to agree with Steelrat on this one. Yeah you should read the entire listing before you bid on an item, but by listing the marker and all the parts that comes with it, and showing the actuall marker in by itself is decieving. If the viewing picture is that of the picture of the marker ( Printed picture of the marker, then taking a picture of the picture and posting that), and that the part where it says that "you are buying the picture" are in BIG BOLD LETTERS, that would be a different story. Frankly, if I got scammed in such a manner and found out that the SOB was playing at my local field, I'll show him how much more mass there is on the twistlock end of a Ti-boomstick.

[t33kyboy]

yeah all bidders have been informed and the guy that bidded $41 has taken it back. Now its $1.25

[Steelrat]

Thanks Spaced. Let me be clear on this, only SCAMMERS attempt to sell pictures on ebay like this. There is no legitimate reason to make an auction like this. And I believe that all scammers are pieces of crap, without exception. Anyone trying to justify this is blaming the VICTIM, and not the CRIMINAL, and that is completely wrong. Lets focus our scorn on the predator, and not the prey.

[TeamNausea]

But the 'prey' as you call it has to adapt to the 'predator'.

[Steelrat]

Yeah, I guess i would like to live in a society where the people can read and have some common sense.

Oh, so you want to live in a society where its okay to rip people off? You know, not everyone is a rocket scientist like yourself. The scammers live to rip them off, not the observant or sceptical people.

[Steelrat]

But the 'prey' as you call it has to adapt to the 'predator'.

Its a good idea for the prey to have to adapt, but does that make what the predator is doing any more right? Morally, this situation is very black and white. T33k is wrong, the victims are right. End of story.
