I saw this the other day. I googled it too and it seems most of these are ok but I am still scared. Anyone have experience?

all he has to do is send you the same envelope that probably has like 5 dollars that everyone wins and you would nvr even know that no one was gonna win the systems. at least thats what id be doin ;)

I think he's just trying to earn some bucks at the expense of other people's stupidity. He braggs he has 100% feeback, with only 16 evaluations!? Only those with a peanut for brain can possibly think they will win something.

I actually bought a ticket to a similar auction since I already have too many video games. It cost me 10 bucks and the prize was 15 so somehow I didn't get scammed. :) I am thinking the auction is like a crack dealer though, he wants to give you a little taste of success....hahaha

it's a win for whoever wins, and it's a win for the auctioneer.

he makes $1000 . at most, he sends out a ps3 at a loss of 500, and then keeps 500.

at the least, he sends out a 15$ envelope, and you make 5$.

As a rule of thumb, if you have to ask if something is legit, it isn't :)

Or he sends everyone 1 dollar and hands the 3 systems out anyway. Would work if he sold all 250 envelopes for $10 and still make him a nice profit, and allow him to present 3 lucky winners to the world.

So far he's sold 12 taking in only $120. He has broken the law already regardless of ebay rules because he states it's not a lottery and that every envelope contains a gift. He's stated it's cash but not listed or advertised exactly the amount. He has stated a purchase price for an item which is unclear, yet advertised it like a prize draw.

If he sells to UK buyers he's broken the 1994 Sale & Supply of Goods act.
Anyone who buys an envelope for $10 deserves to get nothing!!
