  1. Re:READ IT!! on FBI Targets Online Auction Sites' Criminal Element · · Score: 1
    That is saying one thing and delivering another. He spells out EXACTLY what he is selling, It's even in the auction title. Selling two bricks labelled as a roach killer is one thing but advertising a list of wholesalers as a list of wholesalers is legit.

    Also, as we should know here, one's screen name is not necessarily a guide to one's character. Who's to say he didn't choose that name on a whim because he thinks it's funny?

    As always, caveat emptor, buyer beware. If you think you're gonna get 50 big screen TVs for $10 then you are foolish and would be well advised to READ THE LISTING PROPERLY. I see these lists all the time for phones. If you have the money then you can get the list, buy phones in bulk and then re-sell them. Seems fair. Of course you could probably just use Google to find your wholesalers but the guy is providing a service. I have no sympathy for people who buy stuff without checking what it actually IS.

    He makes it 100% clear that he is selling a list of wholesalers:

    PLEASE READ ENTIRE AUCTION!

    Great deals for great products at wholesale to resell on Ebay. Auction is for a wholesale list. Are you looking for top of the line flat panel televisions at dirt cheap prices? Ever wonder where the eBay power sellers get their products?

    Ready to be in business for yourself?!!! With this list you can buy NEW factory sealed electronics to resell on Ebay to make big money. This is where the sellers get items to sell, etc. ... AT UNBELEIVABLE PRICES. START MAKING MONEY TODAY!!!! YOU WILL RECEIVE AN EMAIL OF THE LIST AFTER YOUR PAYMENT HAS BEEN RECEIVED. ALL SALES ARE FINAL! YOU ARE PURCHASING A LIST, NOT THE ITEM PICTURED

    If you bid on this and didn't read the sodding auction then it's your OWN DAMN FAULT! This in no way counts as fraud.

    A Soviet Russia joke? I'm frankly surprised that there are any posts not containing the words.

    You must be new here.

    "When you're listening to Funk, you're listening to James Brown [referring to himself in the 3rd person]. When you listen to Rap, you're listening to James Brown. When you listen to Hip Hop, House, or even Rock and Roll, you're listening to James Brown. If you hear a beat... and it gets your toe tapping... you're listening to James Brown."

    You are so wrong. I've seen him give basically that exact speach in interviews before, he isn't upset about it in the slightest, he's GOD DAMN PROUD that he is the direct inspiration for most of the music of the latter part of the twentieth century; that he is the most sampled musician in history and generally one of the most important musicians ever to walk this earth.

    Also he gets paid every time one of his songs is sampled in a commrcial record, netting him HUGE amounts of cash.

    The Republic Of Ireland (Eire) is in fact part of the British Isles. The British Isles consists of Great Britain and Ireland. It is not part of the United Kingdom. This confusion seems to come up a lot.
