This is sad.

Think this is worth a dollah?! (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=27221&item=1947787255)

[IceBlink]

Hahaha, it's bringing back certain memories of a flash movie. XD

Seriously, this is sad. What's more scary is that people will be willing to bid for this. o_O

[BonusKun]

Anyone who spends real money on anything like an online RPG to get rare weapons/items/armor is a total retard with way too much money.

[Maverynthia]

Bleh! I reported the guy to EBay's SafeHarbor thingy..hope it gets taken down...

[Stoic]

LMAO I remember when people were selling rares on E-bay I tried that didn't get a damn dime... Oh well back to the drawing board... Let's see what else can I do to get rich... I could open mouth kiss a horse... Oh damn this thing is still open SUBMIT! good...

It ought to. With you reporting it to SafeHarbor, and me reporting it directly to Sega, something ought to happen sometime soon. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_evil.gif

Don't stop there, guys! Here's a few more (http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?cgiurl=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2Fws%2 F&krd=1&from=R8&MfcISAPICommand=GetResult&ht=1&SortProperty=MetaEndSort&query=phantasy+star+online+rares).

[Eum]

Huu. One is up to 56.00 already. >D;

[Sedric]

Perhaps new to PSO, but old news in general. It's very common to see players selling rares for "real money" in many online RPGs. Take Diablo II, for an example. I saw way too many people around my neighborhood buying uber-rares with real green piece of papers.

[Maverynthia]

I feel sorry for that person paying $80...I wrote to them and told them that they were probably dupes and he was getting ripped off.

Not new to PSO at all. But it irks me that these are so blatantly dupes, and they're still going up to extremely high amounts of money. It seems illegal in so many ways.

[Sapphire87]

Reminds me of an old P.T. Barnum saying...

[hucasts_rock]

i look there now and the highest bid is over $105!!! will this madness ever end?!?

[Stag]

can i say a couple things. who buys this stuff is plain STUPID. the person selling has entirely too much time on his hands. and if someone wants i'll sell my wisdom of the game since ur dumb enough to buy those rares. bidding starts at $1.LMAO.LMAO!!!!!those ppl are pathetic!!!!!!!!LoL(falls on floor laughing)

[Stag]

oh yea. if ur dumb enough to buy the wisdom message me. ill be glad to accept ur $$$$$$

[tiger80272]

18 minutes and $158...Why would someone pay that much for DUPES http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_bash.gif

[Blue147]

this is sad who pays realy cash to have not so realy stuff unless u are an idot lol this game is going out there and never come back lol

[Sol-Invictus]

There's a thread like this in General that eRupt closed cause he said they were annoying him. You might wanna close this one.

[Jace_100]

i have a friend that paid $1,100 dollars for a character in everquest with one item on it thay he wanted...thats alot of money

[Eden]

Yikes, your friend needs help man

[KodiaX987]

It's sorry stuff... But I still maintain nothing will beat the X-Box BOX that got sold for 300$!

[Wewt]

A box? What the fuck?

Is there like a link to a news site, or something, that will show this? http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_eek.gif

[KodiaX987]

Nope; it was on eBay. I saw it at the right moment. The bid had closed, and actually quite a lot of people bid for it. Winner: 300$! Someone else did the same thing with the DC box, but since it was more obvious it didn't rack up so much cash as the X-Box one.

[Wewt]

One question: WHY?

What was so special about that particular box?

[RuneLateralus]

Because the person thought he was getting the system.

The description of the item was just "Microsoft XBox."

[Wewt]

Well, that reason certainly sucked the humour out of it for me. Plain old scam.
