- direwolf20 9mo ago... Is fraud.
- NickC25 9mo agoit is? I mean, it's deliberately misleading, but it's not fraud. If it says "box only", it means box only.
- direwolf20 9mo agoThe judge and jury aren't stupid. A legitimate auction for a box would be very upfront about the box and would not start the description identically to one for a laptop.
- NickC25 9mo agoI mean, if the words "box only" are in the product descriptor, then it's on the consumer to read the descriptor...especially if they are going to drop a few grand on something. And doubly especially if a product looks vastly under priced in comparison to buying the same item brand new from the manufacturer. Again, is this predatory? Yes, absolutely. But you can only prevent stupidity so many times....

- burnte 9mo agoThat's absolutely the intent, yes.
