Obviously it's not clear to them, because they wouldn't be paying $100+ for it. I've also tried contacting the user who's winning to inform them that it's not really an Xbox, but I need feedback on my account to do so. Anyone else have any ideas?

I was contacted by bidders and told them, by the way. What's the big deal?

Getting somebodies hopes up that they're buying an Xbox, them paying $100+ for it, then getting let down all because you're greedy.

Yeah, I might call this off. The guy who's winning hasn't been active since 1999, and he has a negative feedback on there.

That's rediculous Trust. I've just lost a lot of respect for you.

I'd rather have a grand then the respect of someone online, no?
One must ask oneself: "do I will trolling to become a universal law?" And then when one realizes "yes, I do will it to be such," one feels completely justified.

The point I was trying to get across in that statement is that he was being immature by doing this.

It's not tricky or sneaky.  He clearly says "This auction is for a picture."

eBay can't do shit if he's not lying :\

This scam has been used on Ebay since the start, when will people learn?

Don't know. Mine sold for $610, with 23 bids. That bid count is after I cancelled all the bids for some other guy, who had like 10 bids.

IM me if you want it. I had posted it but then I removed the link after Metal got mad at me for being a bad human. :(

If the guy actually pays (doubt he will) I'll probably refund the money anyway. I hate having a concious.
