17:16:26 Stuart: this might be a good bet, as it's a misspelled listing
17:16:34 Stuart: [Ebay PS3 Link]
17:16:47 Stuart: and the starting price is 99c.
17:17:04 Stuart: not many people will look for a playstaion.
17:23:52 Stuart: Feel free to offer a fair amount if you like.
17:26:47 Stuart: You didn't see me, roight?
18:29:28 Matt: cheers!
18:30:07 Stuart: no problem!
18:31:30 Matt: bidding at ?51 now
18:32:14 Stuart: that looks fishy

18:35:52 Stuart: 96% reviews.
18:36:11 Stuart: and the 4% consisted entirely (as I saw after I'd paid) of people being upset about the guitar hero packs
18:36:31 Stuart: new guitars, secondhand, heavily-used, scratched discs

18:37:13 Matt: brutal
18:37:46 Stuart: learning curve.
18:37:53 Matt: totally
