BESIDES which, these guys tried paying $2000 for 52" plasma flatscreen TVs. They retail for $8000 (or more). Had they even BEGUN to use their brains, they would have realized there is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY that could be the correct price. I think they deserve to lose their money more than the kid deserves to be put in jail. He outsmarted them, and they called the cops. Do you call the cops when you lose at a carnival game because it can't be won? Meh.

I agree. Who cares if he was dishonest? People are dishonest all the time. This guy just tricked some imcredibly stupid people, which in my opinion is completely OK because stupid people deserve to be tricked. I bet they thought they got a "great deal" on a plasma TV on ebay - lol - I can just imagine them bragging to all their friends and family about what a great find they got and how good they are at eBay.
