Just wondering, whats the go with these ebooklet listings on ebay?
It seems like a scam to me, but heaps of people bid on 'em.. So who knows.. Anyone ever won/bid on one of these? Here's an example of what im talking about, for a kickass audio system... http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll ... 88465&rd=1 http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll ... eName=WDVW http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll ... eName=WDVW |

it's all some shady setup where you're supposed to use the details in the e-book to obtain a "demo" unit from the manufacturer by posing as a retailer...... i doubt it actually works, and funnily enough, when you report them as a fraudulent listing to EBAY, the auctions are cancelled

matrix shopping??
It looked kinda dodgy.... Like you were paying for the information to find where it was most likely to 'fall off the back of a truck'...

Matrix schemes.. same as pyramid schemes. Only difference being the sellers claim it as being legal as you're actually "paying" for a "product" (i.e. the ebook)... which in actual fact isnt worth anything... the money is really to get your name on the list. Oldest trick in the book... just a new way of delivering it... "First, let me assure you that this is not one of those shady pyramid schemes you've been hearing about. No sir. Our model is the trapezoid!"
