ahh, i have to registe a creedit card, and i don't have one
Someoene else do the right thing
I saw you are currently bidding on what seems to be a Boss DD-3.
Please take the time to notice that the seller, who has zero feedback, appears to have worded the auction to make it seem like he is simply, just selling an empty box.
If you are aware of this, be my guest. I certainly won't be bidding. |

Hi NetStar
You should email the seller, & ask him what it is, that he is actually selling, & be specific.
The actual DD-3 Compact pedal, or juat the cardboard box that it came in?
Then tell us all, about the reply.... it may be a genuine wording mistake?
if it's just the Box, then email the bidders as well,
Then email EvilBay about the discrepancy & mis-wording, they may pull the ad. 
Regards Dr. Bob  |

I may be able to email the seller, regarding the item, but it won't let me email the bidder, because i don't my C card registered.
How do i get in contact with evilbay?

| The buyer was 1kidc who I have seen buying and selling pedals left and right. I wonder if he asked, or if he just thought he lucked out, because with 864 feedbacks, you'd think he'd know to ask questions. That person must have worked for the White House or something, cause the wording is awesome cause its a great sales pitch, yet you don't really know what you're getting or getting into. It will be interesting how the feedback is.... |

| hmmm. its fishy. he doesnt have paypal and he has a 0 rating. i would STAY THE HELL AWAY from this one. but then again rule number one of buying off ebay, make sure you know exactly what youre buying. i would actually find it funny if someone bought an empty box for 57 bucks. |

It wouldn't be the first time people have bought empty boxes thinking it wasn't empty.
I've heard of people buying Xbox boxes before without realising they were just getting the cardboard box!

| Same thing happened to a friend of mine - on a VERY ambigously worded description. The seller did have a point to argue though - buyers fault but the seller was still SCUM!!! |

| Me and my brother saw this ebay auction for an Xbox 360 around the time they were being released (uber hype) and someone managed to sell just a picture of the Xbox for around �600, and because he stated it was only a picture it was completely legal - DARWIN'D and unlucky at the same time. |

THIS IS THE RISK THE PRO-PEDAL FLIPPERS TAKE. I wonder if we'll "see the box" relisted in a few days. |
