Scam-tastic eBay Listing
Wow! I've seen some pretty amazing scams listed on eBay before, but this has got to be one of my favorites. The listing below is for a "Mystery Box" with bidding starting at a mere $1000. Note that the seller explicity says "You are only bidding on the box and the box alone, not anything that could be in the box." He or she then proceeds to describe all sorts of wonderful things that could be in the mystery box, including cash, an XBox 360, gift cards, cameras, even a brand new Mustang convertible. That would have to be one BIG box!

Note that gumshoo flags this eBay scam for a suspicious description, catching the phrase "not a scam". I like that. It's funny that "not a scam" is an indicator of a scam. :)
