Biggest effing a-hole on the planet wants to eBay some poor kid his red ringed 360

Why is it still not legal to beat scumbags like this unconscious?

Words: on July 29, 2010

To us, there is a specific circle of Hell reserved for people who talk during movies, use cell phones in gyms, and consciously under-use their turn signal. After reading this eBay posting from seller “modzkingdante,” you will think that some people deserve a far worse punishment.


Above: I would demand to see some video of it working if we were you

Yes, you read that correctly, modzkingdante - who has zero cutomer feedback, you'll note - is selling a "seller refurbished" console that he calls a “modded Xbox 360 wil red L.E.D. lights.” This roughly translates into “I got the fucking RRoD and I’m going to screw some sucker out of money with it.” Clearly, modzkingdante is the kind of upstanding citizen that we would want to get a beer with ... because we want to get him drunk, blindfold him and send him walking into traffic.

Astoundingly, the auction already has a few bidders, even though our swindling friend is clear that there are “NO REFUNDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Luckily, in the time it took us to write this article, the listing was removed. But have no fear, modzkingdante - your complete assholery will live on in our hearts forever.

Dick.

    If there are some people stupid enough to not recognise the RROD (perhaps the most iconic system breakdown ever), then kudos to modzkingdante for ingeniously conning them out of their money.

    CyberNinja said he would pay $1. If the cover has never been removed (i.e. the guy hasn't tried to fix it himself) I'd pay $20 to $30 for the unit. Two reasons. #1 Popping of old brackets, cleaning the CPU/GPU, repasting, and reassembling is about 15 minutes of work for an Xbox360 that will run great for a few more years. #2 Most of the RROD machines are older with DVD drives that like to be flashed...

    It is defiantly possible to mod it (a friend of mine made his blue), but if you look at that, it clearly isn't modded. Only three of the semi-circles are red and the light in the center is still green. Those are the two big signs this is RRoD.

    They were allowed to use "fuck" in the article because it was a quote, naturally. Would have been journalistically irresponsible to edit it.

    It's funny until you realize he intends to profit from this. Good thing it was taken down; the kid would experience a level of disappointment only matched by the other kid who got an Xbox box... filled with socks.

    Was that a "Firefly" reference at the beginning of the article?

    On subject though, what a douche.

    is The Man allowing F-words on the site now? I'm all for this if it's the case.

    I wonder why I feel more admiration towards this fellow then disgust? I can see it as a joke, and it's funny as heck to me, but obviously some poor sods just might take the offer. Somehow, that's even more hilarious.
