Hang on to those CB Radio Box's!

[Robb]

I wonder if he is going to double box the box when shipping it?
Shipping is $13.77 - LOL!

 

[trailboss]

Yes but the guilt falls on the person doing the selling! (He knows alot of ppl are not savy and takes advantage of them)

Quite sad........

He isn't exactly hiding the fact that he is selling an empty box;

On Apr-26-11 at 04:58:11 PDT, seller added the following information:

JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU KNOW YOU ARE BIDDING ON THE BOX ONLY, NO RADIO COMES WITH THIS AUCTION

On Apr-26-11 at 12:50:59 PDT, seller added the following information:

The seller in this case I think has gone out of his way to insure bidders that the box is nothing more than just a box! "Pictures are worth a thousand words", and in the description of the item listed, he has plainly stated more than once that there is no radio...

Just stupid Walmart shoppers looking for a good deal.

ATTENTION K-MART SHOPPERS. We now have a Blue light sale going on in the EBAY Department. LOL

Too late! "SOLD!"

$139.50 + S&H = $151.63...."What a steal!"

How proud this guy will be when tells his buddies at the bar he bought a empty box on ebay for $151.63. He thinks he bought a radio I bet. The guy that sold it prolly pulled the box out of the dumpster.

No one outbid his shill. He listed it again.

I think the guy who won was a non payer. Whoever bids on an empty box should be shot into space.

 

[wildchild455]

As my dad use to say "A Fool And His Money Are Soon Parted" well with ebay that is the case most of the time....Think Ebay should investagate schill bidding going on but they are more interested in the all all mighty dollar

I still don't see why anyone would conclude that his guy is employing shill bidders or is a crook, I think that there are too many knuckleheads that look at the bidding activity instead of the product description....

The absurd bids and the last bid from an ebayer with 0 feedbacks fits the shill bidding definition perfectly. Look at some of the Cobra 200s on ebay and what they are selling for.......then check out the bidder history, lot's of shill bidding. Plus the same radios come up for auction numerous times. Only a freaking idiot would pay more than $150 for one, new or used.

An A-hole has bid on the empty box 9.99. It will cost more than it is worth to ship it.
