The Most Expensive Scam Ever? - General

I recently was looking to buy parts so i could repair my console myself, i was looking and i found this cr$ap... $500 to check inside your console is the cheapest exemple... $2590.00 for Psp button kit... [url]http://gameyaad.com/asp/repairservice.asp[/url] Choose any console, it doesn't matter, anything is godly expensive... Christ sake.

I don't think it's real.

If you convert to the Jamaican dollar the prices are much more reasonable than assuming they are U.S. currency.

Yeah, so apparently it's 5$ for a checkup, which really isn't that bad.

What the fuck? How do they even keep the site up?

Jamaican dollars :rolleyes:

[QUOTE=The golden;18998757]It better be an error with conversion, because $9975.00 for a new PSP screen is just out of my price range. :colbert:[/QUOTE] Is $115 out of it too?

The amount of money the us gave for alaska

$14600.00 For a motherboard replacement for your Wii. Hahaha, I think I might buy a whole game store with that money. If this isn't due to price conversion that is.

You sure this is in USD? And just because the prices are high, doesn't mean it's per-say a scam. Also, it's clearly some sort of mistake or miscommunication. [url]http://gameyaad.com/asp/videogames.asp?console=19[/url] $2370.00 for an xbox 360 power supply? You could buy ~10 xbox's for that amount.

3000 dollar for unbricking your PSP? [url]http://gameyaad.com/asp/gameparts.asp?iType=34&console=22[/url] ARE YOU SHITTING ME? I can get 15 new PSPs with that money! But I think they fucked up their system... I mean... who would charge you 500 bucks for shipping?

Price conversion, if it was regular USD then it would be rather amusing.

Yea, shipping is $500.

It's jamaican dollars get over it.

ShamWoW

Sheesh :rolleyes: [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dollar_(disambiguation)[/url] EDIT: [url]http://lmgtfy.com/?q=500jmd+in+usd[/url]

$1 jmd = ¢1 usd So that's $5 shipping, $30 PSP repair, etc.

alright guys, it's already been said that the prices are not in USD

I don't get why everyone insists on talking about all the wacky stuff they could buy with the money needed for a mundane repair on this site. It has been established that these prices are in Jamaican dollars.

Kinda funny and at the same time kinda sad.

$1000 for a PS2 repair.
