I love this… Pay, for what you can get free!

By lorelei

It’s weird, but it’s not the first time that I find something on eBay for sale, when you can get it for free elsewhere. I am serious, people SELL free things.

For instance, this guy is selling Open Office 2007. 7 people even bid and bougt it, while they could as well download the SAME program, absolutely free at Open Office website. Christ, don’t people do a little research before buying? I mean if they know what they want to buy, how can they not know this program is endlessly free to download? I believe the trick is here to mention the word “Microsoft”, so anyone would think it’s paid software, and it’s indeed confusing at first. Then you read the description and see:

100% Compatible with Microsoft Office - Open, Edit, Save and create new files completely compatible with MS Office.

Even the most expensive version of MS Office does not allow you to do this! You can with our software, again, at a fraction of the price.

This is where the trick is hiding, but 7 people did purchase this Office Suite and gave him 100% positive reputation. Oh well, as long as they are happy…
