A radical of German buy Hunter , obviously think they had stumbled upon the iPod deal of the century , would do best to quit bargain hunting because they ’re about as dim as the sack of potatoes they now have .
The bunko game was simple ( and old ): A grouping of British con men showed the German bargain hunter a few iPods , laptops and other geared wheel as “ cogent evidence ” of their genuineness ; offered to sell them hundreds of 2d hand iPods at cellar prices ; and then continue to pass over a 4 - lb . sack fill with white potato alternatively .
They made off with about $ 972 for their efforts , along with the knowledge that they probably accept vantage of people who were about to take those “ iPods ” and resell them again for a high markup . Too bad , so lamentable !
Regardless , the Polizei are on the case , and there no question will be a very large , bitter serving of German potato salad on someone ’s dinner party table very soon — provided the self-confidence generate their heavily - earned wares , now grounds , in a timely fashion ( pictured ) .
