I remember a case where a guy was selling a Xbox box, and he clearly stated in Bold, and Big letters many time through auctions, but the bidder still bid on it.
He wasn't a scammer but to make people aware of it. Of course he always refund a part of their money (- the ebay & transaction fees and stuff).
He had a blog on a website some where. Yet I still find people being stupid and bid on these.
