Ok, I'm not so shocked at the fact that someone is auctioning off "information" on how to get a free DS. Hell, you see that stuff all the time on Ebay now. I'm more shocked at the amount this particular auction is going for! I can't believe people get suckered in like this.

Bizzare but the winner would be getting a DS for cheap anyway.

Sounds like one of those "you refer this site to 20 people to get a free DS" scams or somthing similar. A manual on how to get cheap DS? One could only imagine how to get a DS for $10. Sounds sus to me, and $90 for a email? No try before you buy? no refunds? I dont think so

God. Right there on the page it says [quote]Please note that you are not buying the Nintendo DS itself, this auction is for a detailed manual on how to get a Nintendo DS without ever spending more than $10

Yeah, well I can almost imagine stupid people getting excited at just the sight of the DS on this auction. It's the first thing you even see when you view it. It stands out more than the disclaimer does. Even the title of the auction is a bit misleading. I can't wait to read the feedback to this guy from the winning bidder.

And that's exactly what the seller hope/wants. He wants people to be drawn in, thinking he's selling a DS. Brilliant, and it clearly works. Power to him.

Oh yeah, it's totally obvious as to what he was doing. I'm not saying it's a bad gimmick to use, just a bad one to fall for.

LOL @ Stupid people!

Well the only other reason I can think of why he would pay that much for information is because he is smart and he is going to resell the DS' he gets. I highly doubt this though.

I dont know much about ebay, but the link that you sent of feedbacks with one who says this.

Negative feedback rating why do you show a picture of a gamecube, when you are selling information.

Kinda came out weird, but if thats the right one then i think that guy is a little confused, unless there is a gamecube screenshot I didnt see.
