Why is it that stupid people always have too much money? Take a look at this auction, and you’ll understand what I mean.

I just can’t get my head around the thought process that goes into something like this. I’m not talking about the person selling the fake item, I get that. They just want to make some quick cash off of a fake item; it’s wrong and stupid, but not half as stupid as the people actually bidding on said fake item.

People, if you’re perusing eBay and happen to stumble onto someone selling a product that hasn’t been released yet, or even cleared by the FCC, don’t even bother to stop and look at it. If you do get curious and stop, here’s a couple of things to look for.

First, if they have no feedback, then this is the first thing they’ve bought or sold. Not good. Second, if they can’t even put up a crappy picture of the unreleased item, then odds are they don’t have it. So you might as well save your $1,125 so you can get out of your current phone contract when the iPhone actually does come out.
