Already started too. Gay websites and shemale sites away. Hope they like it. :D
 
You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it's evolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know that you can count me out
Don't you know it's gonna be all right
all right, all right

You say you got a real solution
Well, you know
We'd all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well, you know
We're doing what we can
But when you want money
for people with minds that hate
All I can tell is brother you have to wait
Don't you know it's gonna be all right
all right, all right
Ah

From the auction:

-------------------------------------------------
Item Specifics - Video Game Systems
Platform:
Nintendo GameCube

Format:
NTSC (US, Canada)


Bundled Items:
Accessories, Game(s)

Condition:
New
--------------------------------------------------

This makes me wonder what it really is (if it is anything at all). I also could have sworn I heard a radio commercial the other day saying "Call this number to receive a FREE PLAYSTATION3 AND XBOX360. This is not a scam." It was on a major AM radio station here in SoCal (KFI 640).. I laughed my ass off =)

I can tell you, it's an ebook of scams. If you notice, it says that you can get other electronic items for free too. Basically, it's a scam where you call warehouses and tell them that you're a company that's interested in buying a revolution in bulk(of course when it's actually released, the revolution is just an attention grabber IMO.), but that you want a sample first. So they send you one of the item and you basically never talk to them again. the ebook is just information of companys for you to pretend to be, and warehouses in other countries for you to rip off.
 
For the record, you can't pre-sell items on eBay unless the item can be delivered 30 days from the end of the auction. Anything else is violating eBay policy and can be reported.

On another note, you also cannot sell information about game systems in the game systems category. (Like, this listing is for a LINK to get a free yadda yadda). Also violation, also can be reported. (eBay made the Everything Else > Informational Products category so those sellers don't have an excuse that there isn't a proper category)

However as eBay employees are NOT robots, they can't comb through every listing to make sure it's kosher, SO PLEASE REPORT THESE TO EBAY, and they'll get ended.

How do you go about reporting auctions to eBay? I don't see a "report auction" button or link on the auction pages anywhere...

I WOULD DO IT MYSELF, BUT IM TOO BUSY POSTING ON GAF.
 
11.95$? Wow Nintendo was serious about making it cheap.
Still 48 available and I can receive it within 12 hrs!

/Orders

I'll post impressions as soon as I get it.

I love the controller BTW. A sphere. Now that's a revolution.

I hear something like that is being added soon, but you can use this link (or click Help, then Contact Us):

http://pages.ebay.com/help/contact_us/_base/index.html

On the first window, choose:

"Report a listing policy violation or prohibited (banned item)"

In the next two windows just choose the most appropriate choices, then press continue.

Then, to make the report, just click 'Email' on the next page.
 
This must be the 'revolutionary' new distribution system Nintendo was on about. Think about it: a slow trickle of machines via E-Bay keeps both interest and prices high. No need for armoured trucks and dealing with finicky gameshops. Genius.

OK, the seller responded to my question. For those who fear the Revolution controller will alienate developers, have no fear since:

"Hello- The contoller pretty much has the same buttons available as the gamecube controller,.....just a more updated look and color
Best Regards,
Gary"

Information booklet e-bay scam tactic. Nothing unusual here.

People that do this shit need to be auto-banned off ebay.
