HA!

My aunt bought a stereo off the street once. The packaging looked legit. She got it home and it was just a box of bricks. Some people have no scruples. Happens when you're broke and desperate.

[Lethn]

The 19-year-old acknowledges that the item was specifically marketed as a "photo," but says the category it was listed under — video games and consoles — convinced him it was legit.

You have got to be kidding me, that's the oldest trick in the book.

This guy must have been seriously drunk...
Serves him right.

[salsacz]

this photo is famous now. He could sell him for 1 BTC

[missworld]

Aww, come on guys. Have a little sympathy. The seller's a scammer

[Lethn]

I'm generally an empathetic person person even if I don't act like it but when you actually look at the situation rather than going "Boo hoo that poor victim" I find it very hard. For one thing as people have already spammed in the comments of this article he got a 15 year old girl pregnant so he isn't exactly the shining beacon of intelligence and responsibility. For those internationally especially in America this is the kind of shit we have to put up with in the UK on a regular basis and the amazing thing is throughout all of it they manage to act completely indignant about the problems they have and blame everybody else so if you think we're being mean it's because we've seen it so many times we're wondering why the hell people don't learn.

Hey, thumbs up to the guy for not opting for an abortion, any kid at that age would but he didn't and looks like he is taking responsibility.

Hey, don't get me wrong. The kid was dumb to fall for it, but the seller's just taking advantage of people's oversight and stupidity and tried taking his money in the process. He has a kid. He's a kid himself. It's just so shitty that ethical behavior is just a footnote nowadays.

Somebody bought an Xbox One box on ebay the other week for £300+.

[DrahogErusiel]

Must be something in the drinking water.

[BitcoinBarrel]

It's a nice looking photo to say the least... 

[beetcoin]

he should turn his lemon into lemonade - post it on ebay and in the description/info put a link to the gawker article

[naypalm]

Thats pretty funny and sad at the same time. It pays to pay attention.

[Haidang1796]

Dafuq =))) LoL

[Ch1bi]

I was laughing so hard when I heard this story, but the warning signs were there and he still continued with the purchase...

[Exdeus]

Smart guy,

Buy photo, get refund, sell story for a few grand = profit..

Seller should have posted a package with nothing in it and claimed it was stolen.
