I can't believe they didn't realise. And the winning bid was $152.49

They should have bought a picture of a PS2 instead.

Very, very sneaky.

On the legality front: I've seen olympic sailors sail less close to the wind.

Read the feedback. Buyer was having a laugh too. They were just playing and it had the desired effect, posts all over the place talking about it. No money changes hands on these other than the few cents they pay for placing the auction.

Boosting feedback would be my guess.

I suspect the buyer e-mailed the seller a picture of the $150...

To prove a point? Good on him, people don't read the adverts. I have had a similar experience where I met the buyer and he said where is the warranty. It doesn’t have one, I never said it did, in fact I said it didn’t.
