Advise on getting a PSP for a fiver on ebay

**bub** · 14th February 2005

Usually I take no notice of these scams on ebay as usually they are pyramid cons. But for some reason this one looks a bit more Koscher. For a fiver the guy lets you know how to get a psp for next to nothing.
The thing is his feedback is 100% and i have emailed one of the people he sold the info to and he said it was good info, not a con.

Comments on this please

how those ones work is they charge you to basicaly tell you "e-mail sony and say, hi im from a certain company can you please send me one of your products to TRY for free" and sony are then ment to go "oh yes, of course we will send you several hundred pounds of equipment for free"

which of course none of its gunna happen appart from wasting your money to be told that

I've donwloaded a lot of these from various places (not ebay!) and the good ones give you wholesale info with them. You can then go to SE Asian distributer websites where they sell all the locally made goods. A lot of the ones at the beginning of the lists had big banners saying 'dont ship test units'. I was on one that sold unbranded TFT monitors for face value who didn't supply free samples. However I was on others that seemed quite open about it all, test the goods sort of thing. this was mainly for white goods and other low cost crap, they'd send it for cut price or free sometimes, you generally always paid postage for anything.

as for a free psp well heres a UK site offering lots of other electronical *fingers corssed* promises

Just came across this site

The site is owned by a company called GreasyPalms. Wonder if this site is legit?

Use the usual theory of if it sounds too good to be true, then it most likely is!

**GavDF** · 17th February 2005

im gonna try it anyway beware of the spam,but i know two people from the u.s who got a i pod and a tft monitor

if the link is not acceptable on here sorry, ill delete it later when im home

**/dev/null** · 17th February 2005

It's a referral link so I would think not!
Would be though to link to http://www.freeipoduk.co.uk/index.php

**Keva** · 17th February 2005

yea the link from GavDF is a referal link but in order to get the ipod yyou need to get people to sign up to the site via referal links*removed* heres my referal link you get one personalised to you when u sign up to access the site, without referals its http://www.freeipoduk.co.uk/ [img]chrome://targetalert/content/skin/new.png[/img]

i'm pretty sure referral links are slightly banned on DF. I know it's only in biggys but it will probably apply throughout. The reason I suggested it was becuase if we had structure for it then it would make a lot more sense. Basically a pryamid scheme as there is no other way to do it, but if permission was asked and a clear thread was set up then can't we all begin to start working off each other and get free IPods???? might be better in the suggestions part but it could easilt get laughed off! lol

**GavDF** · 17th February 2005

it cant hurt to have one thread for this and see how it goes can it? i know it got banned by other forums tho and i know referal links are not normally allowed in other sections here,but this is all going to the same thing and doesnt benifit anyone unless they join and take up the offers,just seen your post in pig and truffle so will see how it goes
