I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Maybe someone should report this ****er, as I don't have an eBay account to do so.
 
Lol it even says in the title, "GUIDE". He is selling a book and idiot people have bid on this crap? Insane.

I know, it's heartbreaking really. But a drop in the bucket. You can't police the world. There's insurance on most stuff, and really it's Ebay's fault, and their insurance that needs to cover something like this. They really are condoning criminal activities.

Very disturbing stuff. I posted it, for obvious reasons, but it's not really funny. :(
 
Yikes 38 bids, 4 in the last 10 minutes. I'm tempted to bid as i'm such an Ebay addict

I'VE GOT TO BID HELP MEEEEE! I KNOW IT"S A RIP OFF, I CAN'T HELP IT!!!!
 
1 hour and 20 minutes... I'm the high bidder! Fingers crossed! I cannot figure out how to buy a rMBP below msrp, maybe this will help me! Worth it!

This is exactly why I don't use eBay. I wonder if the buyer would have any recourse in this situation. It is so overwhelmingly deceptive that it would be easy to fall for it, although technically the description does refer to it as a manual.

This is not good. eBay and Craig's List... Two places I don't go, they are so full of scammers.
 
I buy TONS of stuff on craigslist. Meet in person and I've never had an issue. I'd honestly not be comfortable getting a used laptop on ebay, but I'm fine with in on craigslist.
 
Here in California the new Craig's List scam is they arrange to meet you, and then when you show up, they put a gun to your head and take everything you have, including forcing you to go to the cash machine and empty out your account.
 
Ebay is perfectly safe for most people. I've never had a problem and I buy and sell TONS of stuff. Like any marketplace, there are pitfalls.

The real issue that I have is that it's so easy to shop :D

Yes, Craig list is scary to me, when Ebay is not at all. You really have to bring your posse with you. Going alone is crazy.

What category did you choose to report it under? I couldn't find anything like 'misleading description'.
 
Wow, this is ridiculous. Just reported to eBay. 20 minutes to go on the auction...I wonder how this will end.
