Wow.
Well there's plenty of humour in the replies for me at least... I never thought I'd get such a reaction with my first two posts. I'm loving it...
I s'pose it's only right that I address some of you wonderful people who've taken the time to read my story and give your opinions.

Tomfantastic - Well, I decided my lounge needed a second Ps2, so I went to the pawn shop and was unhappy with the prices so voila, a plan was formed. Pretty simple reason, but thanks for all your redundant psychological analysis anyway.

Golddust Nice try buddy, no cigar. eBay doesn't want minors because their whole system is based around contracts that are technically legally binding. If minors sneak in, they can get away with murder so to speak. So I was violating eBay's ToS sure, could've had that account (one of about seven) banned, but my position with the buyer still stood.

Happy Phantom No, I just posted a true and relevant answer. It's in the question, verbatim - "Have you ever conned a stranger". I probably won't get mugged either.

Disasterprone I like your stories.

Enzyme You're not the first man who's heart I've broken.

IHROOC - Uh. If it were actually meant to read that, at least I'd make sense. You're way off regardless. Much love.

Goon Not too worried about making people like you angry bud. Sorry.
I think I'll stay on B3ta too, I like it here. Like it even more now I've finally de-lurked.

Exiled Youth Can't you read? I didn't say computer experts couldn't track me down, my point was that it's VERY UNLIKELY TO HAPPEN over some mickey mouse pocket change when the same resources could be used to track down people like your paedo friend, or catch multi-thousand dollar scam artists.

It's relatively more effort than taking a copper to a shop that sold you a dodgy item, see? Or even just posting a description of a local con-artist up at the cop-shop / area you saw him.

Rickaaay Assuming he's a member here, and reads this, how exactly is he going to 'come around'? *rollseyes*

Everyone else jumping on the bandwagon - Your time is appreciated. It's made my morning. Now I'm off to Uni, but I'm hoping there's some more delicious, hilarious uproar by the time I return.
