You are not buying the APPLE IPOD itself. I do not supply the IPOD, I am simply offering information on how to obtain them. This is not like other links, which have been on eBay for some time. This is a brand new company, which specializes in consoles and mobile phones and is affiliated with one of the UK's leading mobile phone web sites. You will receive an excellent service with a money back guarantee. Plus, every order gets a free polyphonic ringtones and mobile games CD-ROM.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

    As Thansal said, it's not a scam since the description does say he's "selling information," which is BS.

    Bombarding any eBay seller or user for any reason can cause eBay admins to "disposess you of eBay."

    Search for anything on there and you'll get auctions for information on buying whatever at "low, low prices", meaning there's dozens of people doing it. You can't very well stop them.

    Bombarding them won't change anything of their opinions. They get money for copy-pasting some badly written crap to whoever won the bid. What do they care if someone gets mad about "misleading marketting"?

    Buyer beware. It's up to <b>you</b> to be aware of what you're doing. Not them.

    I would like to sell this rare and often hidden gem of the universe, it is called a clue! Bidding starts at $5000, do I hear $5500?

    Actually, there are such odd things as that being sold there.

    Items I've heard of and can remember off the top of my head [there's been more, but I don't remember them]:

    "Nothing" going for $15,000,000.

    A firm kick in the butt going for an equally ridiculous price.

    Unconditional love for twenty-four hours ["without any kind of contact" being the only condition].
