So tired of stupid Nigerian scammers... - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

**Tryphadz** · 04-17-2009, 11:36 PM

I normally have no problems selling stuff on eBay - guitars, games, books, computer parts, etc have all gone without a single fuss. However, the PSP I'm selling seems to attract every bloody scammer from Nigeria. Okay, it's somewhat tiresome having to deal with it all and so far eBay have always returned the listing fees and whatnot, but it's not half as tiresome as the fact that they just keep doing it, even though it's so bloody obvious it's a scam!

Why would you sell PSP? I really regret selling my SNES as it's hard to find one that isn't broken and I didn't get much for it, maybe worth on 1 PC game lol..

Anyway, about scammers I must be lucky as I have never met one through internet when selling or buying, using Swedish Tradera that is owned by eBay and it's very safe and good.

hmm how much do you want for that PSP ?

**Tryphadz** · 04-17-2009, 11:50 PM

Why? Could do with the money and there's sod all decent games for the platform anyway. I think the damn thing's cursed so I'll just give it to my missus and buy bubble-popping games for it or something.

Edit: Thanks for the interest GF but I'm genuinely not going to sell it now - my wife can have it instead.

I got a working SNES and a few games, so are they suddenly worth something?

For me, probably not but for a real collector, yeeess..[yes]

Anyway, it's just because I dont really have any money atm but well later I will get one, the first video game console I started with when I turned 7 years old with super mario.
