Empty box sold for $425

A seller on eBay advertised a "PlayStation 2 Original Box And Receipt" (including free shipping) and sold it for $425. The buyer was less than pleased when she received exactly that -- an empty box. The original eBay auction can be found here. (Thanks to Techdirt for the pointer.)

The Seller Feedback Profile is also entertaining, with the buyer warning, "Complaint: Buyer Beware!!! Misleading information about item. Paid $425 for an empty box!" and the seller replying, "I sent what was promised in the auction. I do not rip people off. She's a liar."

I'd sue him by Argyle 10:56:29 pm mst / 29 January 2001 / # 1

I'd take that bastard to court. Any jury in the country would smack him down.
