Aside from the obvious, who the hell would spend 400 dollars on pictures, the auction said the item weighted xxx ounces. A peice of paper does not weight that so thats misrepresentation already which is all the lady needed to file suit despite it saying it was a picture only.



Regardless, even though people are stupid and buy things that say "picture" only, I still feels its a scam because the person bought it on the assumption of something else. It may say picture only but it was probably in some stupid little spot somewhere hard to read or worded to it was hard to pick up on. Thats a scam in my book...

 

Good that Judge Judy threw a book at her!

I still wouldn't want Judge Judy to be my mother in law though...

 

no, that's not what it said. it was clearly a spec sheet for the phone, not one for the picture of the phone.

maybe it was unethical, but a scam? it really isn't the defendent's fault that the plaintiff was careless. sure, she took advantage of it, but people do that shit every day. corporations, the government, they ALL do the same shit.

bleh.

 

Damn, I wonder if anything like this happened when people were selling XBox 360 email addresses, water bottles, boxes, etc. on eBay for hundreds of dollars.

 

Thats some funny stuff right there

 

That might be true, to be honest I didn't get a good luck at the actual auction so I can't for sure say.

Its definatly unethical and (IMO atleast) a scam but I guess that depends on how you look at it

 

Damn $5000 to the plaintiff.

 

Judge Judy isn't even a real judge. She didn't let the scammer show her where in the ad it said it was for a photo only. I hate judge judy and all the other tv "judges."

 

The defendant and her husband need a good ass beating.

 

Judge Judy just got an upgrade in my book
