[quote="Lagmonster"]I recognize the hilt in that image. It's one of the 'Katana 2000' or 'Ninja 2000' series katanas from www.swordsonline.com

It's a real sword, actually, sharpened and all. But it doesn't have so much as a light bulb in it. It's basically a scam.

What's really bad is when it is made to look like something else at first but is stated EXPLICITLY to not be that thing, and still people fall for it.

For instance:

Microsoft Xbox box

first bid: $.25
Winning bid: $315
Total bids: 27
Started: Nov-17-01
Ended: Dec-02-01

This is a brand new Microsoft Xbox box, game console is sold separately. This is a brand new Microsoft Xbox box, it does not contain the system, this is just a box. This is the original box that the systems shipped in. This box actually contained an xbox. Shipping is to USA only. $6.00 for shipping. Payments accepted are paypal and money orders. email me with any questions.
WHAT THE FUCK!? Someone needs a fucking bullet through the head and a burning NOW. We can bury the ashes in there new box.

'Real' lightsabres are usually EL blades that affix to a piece of PVC piping, and while you can duel with them, they're hardly impressive tech. www.parksabers.com if you want to see the best in 'hobby sabres'.
Yup, that was it. I knew I recognized it from somewhere. Thanks.

I bet people saw the word "Xbox" and didn't notice the "box" after the "Xbox".

Who would be that desperate, anyway?

Perhaps if every bid ended with something being sold for 100x it's origional price, any auctioneer could make a big profit. Hey, you could ejaculate in a cup, sell it online as "a cup of semen", and at least onep person owuld want it.
