[QUOTE=Echidna666;43080531]Why would you buy a 5 year old an Xbox One?[/QUOTE] gameboy sp costs like 30 bucks and you can shower him in games, much better for a 5 year old because he won't understand the value of money for at least 5 more years and more is more for kids his age ;D
[QUOTE=Echidna666;43080531]Why would you buy a 5 year old an Xbox One?[/QUOTE] Xbox one is for all ages. The kinect has a few kids games.
[QUOTE=Echidna666;43080531]Why would you buy a 5 year old an Xbox One?[/QUOTE] you people keep asking this, and others keep countering it with "he's dumb because kit at 15" does nobody consider he's 19 years old and wants an xbox too [QUOTE=o DefcoN o;43080573][quote]He said: "It said 'photo' and I was in two minds, but I looked at the description and the fact it was in the right category made me think it was genuine.[/quote][/QUOTE] THERE'S the nail in the coffin
[QUOTE=Sgt-NiallR;43080086]I know, but there's a certain stereotype around teenagers with kids, and he's slotting into pretty snugly.[/QUOTE] Shit happens, man. Condoms break, birth control fails, and kids sometimes make poor decisions. It's a bit unfair of you to be judging this guy as somehow deserving to be ripped off on the basis that he had an unplanned child, who we have no reason to believe he's been anything but a good dad to. The link you're trying to draw between these two events is rather offensive, for a lot of reasons that don't need much expanding upon. I'm aware of the stereotypes, but let's try to keep in mind that stereotypes is all they are.

He looks awfully old for 19.

[QUOTE=LordCrypto;43081001]the fact that he had to save up for it means that he cares for his kid a lot wow bda making a bda quality post again[/QUOTE] And the fact that he is a young dad apparently places him next to coat hanger abortion and fear of child vaccination on the axis of stupid.
[QUOTE=LordCrypto;43081001]the fact that he had to save up for it means that he cares for his kid a lot wow bda making a bda quality post again[/QUOTE] Well, I doubt it's [I]all[/I] for his kid! If I had some rugrats, I'd be steering them towards my favorite hobbies, too. That way, when I buy expensive toys, it's not me being wasteful on cool junk I want, it's me being a loving father providing for his kids! :v:
[QUOTE=LordCrypto;43081001]the fact that he had to save up for it means that he cares for his kid a lot wow bda making a bda quality post again[/QUOTE] What evidence do you have that shows he doesn't care for his child?

[QUOTE=ultra_bright;43080954]This is why PC is the master race. edit: [url]http://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/[/url][/QUOTE] Claims to be master race. Links to reddit. Bonus: Links to reddit board known for shitposting.
[QUOTE=Binladen34;43080484]paypal will literally rape you and your family if they don't like what you did on ebay. The person who sold the picture is probably going to get a few thousand dollars in damage fees from paypal, plus a lawsuit.[/QUOTE] In a very remarkable exception i would believe. It seemed clear to me previously, that any cost of stupidity isn't worth of empathy to you but now you're insinuating it kinda does when in turn of the seller.
[QUOTE=Zonesylvania;43079944]relevant: [img]http://walyou.com/img/fake-usb-flash-drive.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] That reminds me of a flashdrive that looks like its just a bit of USB cable thats been cut
why would you buy your 4 year old son a highly expensive gaming console
It would be sort of understandable for him not to notice, maybe the listing read "XBOX ONE [PICTURE]" and he thought it just meant that pictures of it were included If the listing's out there and I'm making myself look dumb, I apologize.
[QUOTE=Jsm;43080995]I like how the mac and serial number are censored, as if that thing would have a real mac.[/QUOTE] the components that were taken out of the housing initially would, though I'm assuming the person who took the picture isn't the one who'd need protecting if the info got out

We've all been there, we've all thought "I know it says this but I just can't believe someone would do that". I've been ripped off, you've been ripped off, we've all been ripped off, its as you say... shit happens. And I'm sure that all of us, looking back, can't help but think "If only I'd looked more into X or inquired about Y, I could have prevented that." [QUOTE=Jsm;43080995]I like how the mac and serial number are censored, as if that thing would have a real mac.[/QUOTE] I love how the censoring is mostly pointless because you can still read part of it.
[QUOTE=Mellowbloom;43081699]why would you buy your 4 year old son a highly expensive gaming console[/QUOTE] You know...for.. HAVING FUN
The guy had a kid under the legal consent age here in the UK, says it all really why he would fork out £450 for a picture of a games console.
Look at that gormless cunt lol
[QUOTE=CaptainObvious1;43079910]The [B]19-year-old student[/B], of Bilborough, had saved up in order to buy a limited edition Day One version of the console as a surprise Christmas present for [B]his four-year-old son[/B], McKenzie.[/QUOTE] Well that explains a lot!
A friend of mine used to pull similar scams, except his came with picture frames.
I love all the people here berating him for having a kid at 15, acting as if teenagers aren't horny as fuck. (Source: I'm a horny teenager).
Use condom ffs.
I feel really bad considering I come from Nottingham and went Bilborough College. Good thing I'm not there anymore.
I still can't believe I sold a paperclip on eBay (with an eve online account attached) for $800
the seller deserves to get fucked over, doesn't matter if it was a joke or whatever, as soon as he took the money and sent a picture then he's a scammer
