Look at this link

The description clearly states not to bid and that the winner will receive nothing. Yet there have been 16 bids and it's now up to over $100.

Maybe this is Apple trying to find out if they can finally have people just give them money so they can stop wasting it on R&D.

exactly. people are dumb, but the people that make that post are missleading and dishonest. Ebay shouldnt allow stuff like that. It's just a big joke how many things on Ebay are like that. Why pay for information on a scam? There's NO such thing as FREE. "JUST FOLLOW THESE 3EASY STEPS BELOW TO GET YOUR FREEIPOD!" If you have to follow 3 "easy" steps, then its not free is it? I hate scams and I hate ebay for enabling them.

Stupid is quite abundant in society in general, I guess we might as well make money off of it some how.

"and no, you cant file a "item not as described" case because i am explaining very clearly that all you get is info. thanks, Jimmy" Yes, they can and will file an item not as described case. He lies about the item more then once and thinks putting this on the bottom of the page somehow makes it ok. Shame, stuff like this ruins ebay.

It never fails to amaze me when folks are amazed at everyday acts of seeming ignorant or ill informed people. As you can tell, my amazement feeds on itself in a cyclical manner.

If you look at the bottom of the page you can see a note posted by the person who posted the listing, reinforcing that there is nothing for sale. If you compare the timestamp on his/her added comment to the bid history, you can see that nobody has placed a bid since they added that note. Nobody will be paying anything for this.

I'm not surprised anymore. :|

I've been working behind the counter at Tim Hortons for three years now. Nevertheless, I'm surprised daily. I get through it by insulting people incredibly subtly, or playing dumb when they say something that I know what they're trying to say, I just choose not to interpret it until they say it right. Three angry customers in three years, so I must be doing something right.

Fact: Dunkin donuts and BK have better coffee. I do like timbits, but strictly because of the name. Have a *timbit*

I'm surprised that the eBay authorites haven't shut this auction down. All you have to do is scroll down to see the spam. it's an enormous banner. I thought that those pyramid schemes for free iPods went the way of the dodo. Apparently they've just started making junk eBay auctions. I think it would be funnier if eBay forced these @$$clowns to sell the high bidder the iPod touch at the closing bid.

I used to be a member of a car club with an active forum. One of the ladies that was fairly active on the forums used to work part-time for eBay, it was her job to find frivolous/spam auctions like this one and alert the admins to close it. She used to link a lot of them because they took a little while to close them. Among others I've seen things like a ham sandwiches that cleared $20 (plus shipping), $1.28 in loose change that made it up to $11.50, and even someone selling a moldy, partially rottenbra that fell out of the ceiling while they were remodeling their dinning room.
