How do they get away with it?

How do these people get away with ripping people off? And most important question is this, is there anyone out there that actually falls for it?
It does come with free shipping!

It looks like he ran out of stock and stuck a zero at the end of the price to hold the auction open.

Beyond that, I never hold sellers responsible .... that's all on the buyer if you ask me.

So it's not really a scam? Just a loophole to keep the auction open?

If your out of stock and close your listing, you will get hit with a fee to relist.

I seem to have picked up a stutter.

Why do you think Redman has auctions for crap starting at $1000 or so? Out of stock and holds the auction open. If someone is really really stupid and wants to buy something at that price he wins again.

Well I learned something.... I honestly didn't know.

Probably just harvesting your web credentials for some other scam.

Maybe to help raise money for lawyers and legal fees. :laugh:

That's what I was going to saw, half that dudes crap is priced like that. And if some chump actually buys it at that price he can just buy that item some place else, drop ship it, and still make a killing.
