I don't understand those of you calling this dishonest and un-ethical?
Give me one piece of evidence that this sale was misleading, dishonest or un-ethical, you won't because you can't!
The auction was plain as day as to what the guy was selling, he started at a low bid, the price became high because people didn't read the listing.
It isn't the seller who did anything wrong because he stated plainly what it was he was selling.
The stupidity of the buyer is what should be talked about. The buyers assumed it was more than a box, where if they read the whole listing, actually just the title itself then they would have known.
Another thing is obvious is that no one seemed to have though about asking the seller about the item. I for one whenever buying anything electronic will ask questions before bidding, so if a question was asked and the seller stated there was a radio then that would be dishonest, misleading etc.
Who are any of you to say what can be sold on Ebay and what is un-ethical or dishonest to sell?
What if I had a tire to sell and someone bought it for a large sum of money. would I be dishonest if I only had the sale for one tire and that was explained in the listing but the buyer ASSUMED that I was selling a set of 4?
In your definition I guess the answer would be yes, because not many people buy just one tire. But why should I be held responsible for the buyers actions?
And mind you a persons lack of education has nothing to do with this, you don't need to go to school to get common sense!
I almost think that the ones stating this is so wrong to sell a box at auction, must have themselves at one time gave out a lot of cash without knowing the facts before hand.
As for not trading with me that is fine, I have read your posts and seen you complain about not having money anyway for add-ons or computer upgrades, so you would just be a deadbeat bidder anyway. ;D
