Ebay Bolex in the Skin Care catagory!

[mercyboy]

I get a chuckle from some of the silly ebay auctions brought to our attention on here, but this one is a real humdinger!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... Track=true

Titled: "Bolex H16 SBM 16mm Movie Camera As New - Never Used"

But listed in category: "Health & Beauty > Skin Care > Men's Skin Care > Aramis"

And it's a one day auction starting at $99, (never used!!!) but don't bother placing a bid on it because the seller states you have to contact him for a "Buy It Now" price before bidding...otherwise "I will cancel all bid's that have been placed before contact!"

Needless to say, the proper authorities have been notified.

That's it! Now I'm going to dump all my skin care products and get me a Bolex. Now my skin will glow!

The positive benefits that a Bolex brings to it's owner are seemingly endless - time lapse capability with no fogged frames and beautiful looking skin. Out goes my K3.

In the skin care > aramis section, no less. It's especially nice after a shave. :roll:

Right..


Either this person's account got hacked, and someone is listing items for sale under his name (trust me, that's not a fun experience) or, this is the actual seller and he's pulling a scam.

YEP... account seems to be hijacked:

"tagitavanicia@googlemail.com" is listed further down the page.

Fortunately, these cases are usually resolved by eBay with little or no damage to the account holder (they credit you back for the listing fees), but it's highly unlikely that the offenders will ever get caught.

Hey, just report the account to eBay.
I hear it's fun to email ebay support.

I would say this is a hijacked ebay account due to the poor grahamer, an outdoor email link, and an overall lack of understatement of the english languish. Oh, and sarcasm... you must understand sarcasm and have a scents of humor. Have a nice daze.

Excellent sleuthing! I didn't know account hijacking was that massive.
