How about some real good deals?

This thread so far has only focused on this potential bogus "steal", which BTW was $98 as others has pointed out. Yeah you only paid $56 of your own cash, but you also "waste" the whatever discount from eBay which is like a cash because it can be used to buy anything.

How about some real good deal? I will start:

Getting an ipad mini 32GB with Verizon LTE for $280? 2% eBay cash back plus 5% cash back from my credit card makes it about $260. Not bad.
 
Update

So today is the 14th and I have escalated this case to to Ebay Customer support. I will get a decision in 48 hours.

What does this have to do with this thread?
 
I guess it really was a steal. Guy stole the money from you. Paypal/eBay refunded you. Guy then stole the money from Paypal/eBay.

I seriously don't know why you bothered. :)
 
Ok actual I tried using the coupon and it didn't work so I gotta call ebay and figure out what's up with that.
 
alright so I had to call ebay to get a new coupon because didn't work, it was escalated to supervisors because I asked the first support associate "so, your saying I used a $40 seller rewards coupon to buy an item, and I do not receive the item so I get refunded the amount that I lose my $40 coupon?" and she says "Yes." Hahahaha. The supervisor was like wtf were sending that to you right now.
