eBay Watch: Wii "Email Address" Sells for $385

That's right, a Nintendo Wii "email address sold for a whopping $385 on eBay. This is definitely worse than the Wii box that sold for $426.67, at least you got the real box. What are your thoughts? Auction page.
The item you are bidding on is the e-mail address wiis.r.us@gmail.com which will allow you to show your potential buyers just how much you love Nintendo's new system

My thoughts are that there are some really, really, really stupid people out there who have far too much money. However this is a good thing because it means people like me can liberate some of that money relatively easily.

ugghhh. just because a scam is an obvious scam and should understood by most, doesn't make it anyless of a scam. the only difference between stealing someones wallet and pulling sh*t like this is: one's blue collar, and one's white collar.

i don't understand this. is it people that do not know what they are bidding for, or is it just people that are desperate enough for a Wii that they just bid for anything?

people should learn to read instead of jumping into an auction. scam or not, it's complete lack of patience and sense that causes it.

It's a shame how people will trick others. But you should also read the fine print.... Still it's a nasty deception...

If I saw that I would have used a dummy account to bid on it, then used that email address to email him a picture of the money.

From the look of the auction it is entirely misleading and I would be amazed if the trading-standards authority of the appropriate nation would not be interested to see it. It isn't 'clever' to deceive honest people out of money and consider it 'ok' because "they should have read the small print", it is dubious and these people should be shown up for taking advantage of people's expectations of honesty. eBay should contemplate making an example of such auctions and warn their sellers that such actions (if existing on a large enough scale) risk jeapoardising consumer confidence in their brand/the site.
