now i've seen other auctions that basically sell the same thing... you pay a nominal amount (between 5 and 10 dollars, normally) and the seller passes on instructions on how to get high-ticket items rediculously cheap.
the sixty-four thousand dollar question is, how does this work? has anyone ever done this before? has anyone ever gotten boned by this kind of thing before? is this a scam, or is there some massive secret to buying big-ticket items that i've been missing all my life?
