Seller Beware? Man Sells Safe on eBay for $123, Inside was $26,000!

There is definitely a “better safe than sorry” joke to be made here, but I will not stoop that low. “But you just did!” A man on eBay, who I will now be looking to purchase items from, sold a locked safe on eBay, thinking it was empty. The eBay seller, jameslabrecque (aka James Labrecque), noted in the ad:

“WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET. NOTHING MORE AND NOTHING LESS.

HERE IS A MAJOR FLOOR OR IN GROUND SAFE. IT LOOKS LIKE TO BE A 7″ DOOR MEASURED ACROSS. IT IS A COMBINATION LOCK UNIT… I DID NOT GET THE COMBINATION FOR THE UNIT .SO YOU WILL HAVE TO CONTACT THE MAJOR SAFE COMPANY TO GET THE COMBINATION OR FIND SOMEONE THAT CAN OPEN THE UNIT UP./

RETURNS: THERE ARE NO RETURNS. ALL MERCHANDISE SOLD AS IS. PLEASE DO NOT ASK US TO REFUND YOUR MONEY.”

Despite all of James’ warnings, it is he who is looking for a refund on the $123 sale, as it turns out the safe contained $26,000! James contacted the buyer and asked for half of what was inside. The buyer wisely told James something along the lines of “Go fuck yourself.”
