eBay PS3 scam of the day: Hot_PS3s@hotmail.com sold for $890

Over on Engadget, they are highlighting an eBay auction that is absolutely ridiculous.

Oh sure, Schnezy’s listing is dubious as hell: titled, “Sony PlayStation 3 PS3 NO RESERVE, HOT HOT HOT” and even supported by a picture of the console itself. And seeing all the features and specs spat out on the page certainly clutters the one, very important bit of text at the very bottom: “note: you are not bidding on an actual ps3, you’re only bidding on an e-mail address (Hot_PS3s@hotmail.com), winning bidder will recieve password.” But hey, you’ve gotta read the text son.

I am not even going to link to the auction. I think the whole thing is ridiculous. People really need to read the full text of the auction before they buy things. Getting a Hotmail e-mail address for almost one thousand US dollars is sad. I really hope they contest the auction.
