i think that the point is it is like hot potatoe, there are bonuses for bidding certain costs, so the only person who gets screwed is the high bidder when it closes, but if you arent you get paid a bunch of money

thats so shady with all of the bonuses encouraging people to bid, i bet its bullshit and its a complete scam, they dont guarantee anything about whats in the box, so the person that buys that is a moron

It's legit, like the guy said, people bid to get the bonuses (which he actually pays), and whoever ends up making the last bid gets screwed.

if they actually get the money from these bonuses from bidding, then this wilson181830 dude is making $33,419 for just making a bunch of bids and then letting people outbid him after awhile. wowww.

no dude they aren't bidding to buy the box. They are bidding to get the bonuses and hoping they will get outbid.

It's like a pyramid scam. I can't believe it's actually legal. I have a feeling that Ebay is going to take care of it.

the reason people bid so much is that they want those cash bonuses. it works out well for you if you actually get one of them, but don't win the auction, so you don't have to pay anything, but you get some money (or in other cases, a lot of money). the seller makes the amounts of the cash bonuses just enough so people make tons of money, but no matter what the auction ends at, he will be on top.

and who knows what the fuck is in the box.

yeah like the guy above said, it's musical chairs. you bid, and you win shit just for bidding. but if nobody bids after you.. you're the last man standing with no chair, and you gotta pay up

Yeh but how much will that guy have to pay as bonusses? Eveyone gets a bonus right so thats gonna be way more than the cash he wil get from the highest bidder?

it says the person who bids 1,000,000 gets like 1,125.00. Notice how they include the .00 on the second price so people who just glance at it (me) think you make 125,000 dollars.

its such a wierd concept. i think im going to bid on one of these sometime up to like 10,000 and win the free bonus money just for bidding. its pretty much guaranteed someone is gonna out bid you.

does anyone actualy belive this or are you all just fucking around?

there is obviously nothing worth $6 million in the box. he says "FOLLOWING THE GOLDEN RULES OF EBAY, YOU’RE NOT BIDDING ON ANY RAFFLES, LOTTERIES. . .You are only bidding on a very nice box! This “one of a kind” box contains “one of a kind” gifts that are from me to you!"

he also repetadly says that the rewards will only be paid when the winner pays.

Do any of you think that the winner will actually pay for it? Obviously not. What can the guy do if he doesnt pay up? Nothing.

About pyramid systems, my dad just told me that they are totally illegal. The selller is screwed with both giving everyone the bonuses, which he'll probably have to do and paying off legal fines and all that stuff. I really feel like bidding now so then when i win, i can be like illegal you fucker and then i'll run away with all his money and he'll die
