    Took a second for that one to click but that is quite funny. New phishing scam or just a dolt?

    Why isn't the 'how' not in quotes and the rest of it is? Or just leave out the quotes.

    Yes.

    Seller: twinsatan
    Member accepting FergusConcannon's bid: dexter_xaus

    Two possibilities
    1) dexter_xaus is the seller trying to up the price
    or
    2) dexter_xaus is attempting to phish details

    Maybe dexter thought the seller was fergie and that Fergies' offer to buy was actually an offer to sell ? The adverts.ie layout isnt great its not always that obvious who the seller is.

    I actually think this is innocent.

    It seems like dexter_xaus offers 60, thinks it's Fergus who is selling it and tells him he'll take it for that price..

    but maybe it's a dupe account.
    Who knows!

    What a hilarious mess. I can see all points of view on that one. The sceptic I am though says it's a price bump..

    I might feel different in the morning.

    Indeed but then again this whole joke is pretty much poor show and poor show itself is a bit of a fail. Hell, fail aint no numberwang itself.

    I am confused easily and often and this has confused me. I have PM'd some adverts mods also to spoil your fun yet further. Now. Does anybody have any kittens they want murdered? I could also insult your mother to her face or steal your girlfriend.
