$45 for a dead neoflash cart, but at least it comes with free shipping. It's not all that outrageous of a gouge job, I suppose, but it made me giggle.
I saw this yesterday and I applaud the seller for this sentence in the description:
"Comes complete in original packaging. Please note that I am selling this AS IS because it does not work 100% of the time."
Notice that nowhere else does he mention that it partially works, works sometimes, works if you stand on one foot, etc.
If the thing doesn't work at all, EVER, which is probably the case, his statement is still accurate. But it sure is misleading. If someone told you "my car doesn't start every time" wouldn't you assume it starts some of the time?
Even if I thought I had repair skills I wouldn't go near this one.
EDIT: My mistake, he does mention that he can't get it working again. Still was quite careful about how he worded that.
Yeah, this was an amusing read! He "leads" you into the fact that it is currently broken and works 0% of the time for him... currently, that is...
1) He starts off with this sale being "AS IS".
2) States it does not work 100% of the time (OK, so conversely it must work some of the time then, no?).
3) He chooses to classify the condition as "good" and blames eBay for not having a "non-working item" classification...
(So we're getting to the truth: went from "doesn't work 100% of the time" to a "non-working item")
4) And finally the full, clear truth: "
Currently I cannot get it to work again!" with the call for the buyer to rise to the challenge pitch, "
But maybe YOU have the technical know-how to bring it back to life?" as in, "
But HEY, maybe YOU could be the One to gain the privilege of fixing this - I'll even give ya a reduced rate!" Hahaha!
What a piece of shit, someone that bid on it who wasn't careful and looked at eBay's stated "Good" condition could've placed his bid and not gotten to the last sentences realizing this item is being sold broken... and it did sell... I hope the winning bidder gave him negative feedback regardless if he knew it was broken.
