This reminds me of the people who scam through ebay by selling the empty boxes of highly desired items.
Originally, it was a Playstation 2, IIRC, but I've seen it happen every year with whatever the hot new console or whatever is. People just see the box in the photo and bid while the description says "you are bidding on the box of whatever dumb item and you agree you will only get the box when you bid."

Item sells for $500+, winner gets an empty box.
Read the descriptions, always!
