Buying ebooks to get cheap stereos when you cycle, is it real????

[unlikely hero]

I was just wondering if this is real. Heres a link from ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=39752&item=5708852860&rd=1

This is what it is to my understanding. You buy ebooks for a certain amount of money(here its 110) You're put into a matrix where when its your turn to cycle(I'm not sure what that means, I think its like when certain amount of people have bought it) You are given the stereo as a gift. Now is this legit??? I've never heard of this but I wonder if anyone on here has done it. What do you think?

I have seen these on ebay as well and always wondered the same thing...is this legit or a scam? The feedback is good! Hmmmm, one day i might take a chance and see what is up with this.

Chain letter? Pyramid?

If you're betting the money, just send it to me. I think the odds are the same that I might send you one for free.

99% of these are scams, i unfortunatly used to scam peoplel like that on ebay for like 5 bucks a peice, ebay stopped the system i was working with but i can pretty much garentee its 100% BS, they get positive feedback because they make the people think their going to get the item but say "you must leave positive feedback for warrenty to start" then the warrenty will be something like if you dont get the cd player in 3 years ill give you your money back.. its tons of crap.

exactly. Gents this is known as multi-level marketing aka pyramid scam, aka don't bother.
think of it like this, if it is too good to be true it probably is, and besides being scams (some multilevel marketing actually does work...unless you get stuck on the bottom forever)it's illegal in most if not all of the united states

Its probably not real, or legal. Ive done the math on pyramid schemes before, dont know the figures exactly, but basically past the first couple stages unless youre running the show, youre not going to collect and thats the bottom line. You can go to the police and let them know you got scammed... oops youre in the wrong, its illegal to begin with and no way to trace your money. Save your money or work harder... i am positive there are legitimate websites which would welcome your business, and actually send you product with a reciept.

what kind of reciever are you looking for cheap?

Lol it's teh ###. I actually bought into a matrix for a clarion in dash DVD player like a year ago. Peoples are all like, "OMFG it's real! You cycle out in two weeks!" Well folks, it's been a year and I'm nowhere near cycling out. But it is for real, just takes forever to get your stuff.

Heh I just checked my position on the site cuz I haven't in months. I'm not even in the middle yet. I'll prolly get it when robots are inhabiting the earth. But I'll save you the money and give you the link if you want. http://www.inlinepc.com/cars/

I almost did this, checked out the sites, very tempting. As tempting as it was, it still seemed to fishy to me. I just ended finding the best deal I could on my DVD player instead, I'm glad I did.

Yea after getting interested in this I did some research. If your on top of the cycle, yea it would be great and you'll cycle out fairly quick. Only problem is first off, you won't be on top, second off you have no idea how many people are signed up, and third by the time it would take for you to get you're prize the site will either be out of business or the head unit will be so old that its not worth anything anyhow.

The unit I was look at was the Pioneer AVH-P7500D. Basically I just want a CD/MP3/DVD player. Doesn't need the screen with it.

haha MAtrix schemes.. i was very into it once... i think i got my money back though. I cycled because i invested when it was like new. Alot of the matrix sites went down taking peoples money and all that later on. I did though, cycle on archos mp3,movie player 20gb which costed like 300bucks back then. I also cycled on some cash. I dont know how much exactly it was maybe like 150bucks or more.

One of the sites, I got a refund because i asked for it( i had like 250bucks in there?)

It sure was fun though, seening all those people cycle and thinking u will be next when you actually need like 200people more to join.

The system works like this. Lets say it takes 20 people to cycle a DVD system. Then the first person will get the item when 20 people join. Next person in line will need another 20 people. Now there is 38people waiting to cycle. If the 38th person needs to cycle, that person will need 38*20= 780 more people to join. And it gets longer and longer.

Well it all turns out, if it sounds too good to be true, then it prolly is fake.

the only way it would be benificial is if you could tell how many people are signed up awaiting their turn now. then you could figure out how many people would need to join this scam before youd get your product.

without knowing, its very fesable that by the time you get what you want, the product will be worth less then you put into the matrix. think about it
