Got this e-mail from ebaybanned, I don't understand it, maybe someone else can?

Hi all,

EB airsoft offer a crazy gift to the world airsofter, a brand new PTW M4 can be got by everyone at FREE ( or nearly free )
This is a USD1 listing include 1pc systema PTW M4, Paul will suddenly add this crazy gift between HK Time 9:00pm 15 th OCT to 9:00pm 16 th OCT without any notice !
I must show the full name of this lucky man and first 6 words of his email address, if you do not want to let other know such info, please do not pay (USD1) for it. This is Free Shipping also.

P.S please tell all your friends ASAP, i do not think any other seller will offer such crazy gift....

regards

I think he means its a lucky draw or something, with the $1 being the price of the ticket.

I think he means that there will be 1 PTW to be sold at 1USD. First come first served.

I know what page I'll be watching like a hawk all day that day

[Gigueand]

I'm rolling out my t-shirt printing press for this one:


"I survived the Ebaybanned PTW crisis of 2008!"


Buy one, get one free!!!!



Soon to be followed by

"I survived the Ebaybanned "closing" of [insert month here] 2009."


and don't forget the ever popular

"Ebaybanned: more Inglish than you can shake a stick at!"

Can anyone spell gimmick (obviously I can).

Typical ebaybanned technique

[Spartan452]

Their server will probably crash that day, I know I will be there, pulling all nighter for that thing.

[1st_shooter]

But why would you tell everyone that didnt already no!

[FallenGuard]

if you do not want to let other know such info, please do not pay (USD1) for it.

This one will me keep far away, no matter the Price. I wouldn't be surprised if all those People who signed up will have a "slight" increase in Spam in their Mailbox soon.

Not to mention the "slight" increase in EBB's bank balance with everyone paying that $1 for a chance to get the ptw.

Considering he is gonna put it up at any time within the 24hr period then i dont think its gonna be a lucky dip otherwise he would of said that, 1st come 1st served - simple.

"Ebaybanned: more INGRISH than you can shake a stick at!"


Fixed.

As fro EB's $1 giveaway: I'll avoid, even if you win it, you'll have to wait for a shipping invoice and then deal with Jesse for 2 weeks.

From the wording its not a drawing. Between the 15th and 16th at anytime he will add the PTW to his online store and the first to hit BUY they will receve it. Atleast thats how I interpreted it .

ahh ... yea i see now

[Angry]

Yeah it's not a draw. The first one to get their payment processed is going to get it.

[davedawg123]

I predict server crash. But thanks for the heads up.

[chas]

Wouldnt it be ironic that he actually sustained losses because of a server crash that made ordering imposible?

[L4byr1nth]

I've ordered from EBB.com regularly with hardly any problems at all.

In fact, the only anxieties I have had were to do with Jesse being lazy with the tracking number. The way to get around this is to e-mail Paul or Selina directly, stating what you've ordered, and asking how long it might take to get it. Never fails.

As for this offer, a Systema PTW Challenge Kit for $1.00?! Count me in! It takes 5 minutes to make a new Hotmail account - in case you're worried about spambots. It'd take me about 5 months to save for the kit!

Ben.

I made a small order from them a little while ago and have no issues there.

However the ingrish is terrible and I have no idea what on earth Paul is saying or trying to say most of the time.

Then we have these litte stunts to get people looking at the website and sigh...
