budala Posted June 15, 2004 Author Share Posted June 15, 2004 There is lots of these kinda auctions ... some people even go up to 80-100$ for the damn link :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rumbleph1$h Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 There is lots of these kinda auctions ... some people even go up to 80-100$ for the damn link :wacko: Don't fall for it......I've read about how those things often work. Usually they send you info on how to "scam" companies by pretending to be a business owner and scam into sending you a product for a sample to see if you wish to carry their products......or something along those lines. As for the high auction prices, all I can say is people are suckers ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
