Volim provjeriti prije nego sto zagrizem
Posto se neki detalj malcice kose s eBay nacinom rada krenuo guglati pa otkrio da nema foruma ili newsportala koji nije prenio ovu pricicu i da je sve krenulo s Gizmoda koji je pokupio original s Reddit foruma.
Na samom Reddit forumu se raspravljalo da je autor prilicno nepouzdan i sklon trolanju te ne zeli nikome odati svoj eBay nickname kako bi se provjerila autenticnost price pa su i Gizmodovci konstatirali na naslovnici:
"UPDATE: Err, BadgerMatt's story might not be as real as everyone thought."
Dodatak: Glim-dropper scam
The glim-dropper scam requires several accomplices, one of whom must be a one-eyed man. One grifter goes into a store and pretends he has lost his glass eye. Everyone looks around, but the eye cannot be found. He declares that he will pay a thousand-dollar reward for the return of his eye, leaving contact information. The next day, an accomplice enters the store and pretends to find the eye. The storekeeper (the intended griftee), thinking of the reward, offers to take it and return it to its owner. The finder insists he will return it himself, and demands the owner’s address. Thinking he will lose all chance of the reward, the storekeeper offers a hundred dollars for the eye. The finder bargains him up to $250, and departs. The one-eyed man, of course, cannot be found and does not return.
