Default Opinions on this eBay Product?

I'm not sure whether to take the plunge and buy this product from ebay. I noticed it last December.

http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Online-Cash-UK

Anyone out there have any idea what I am about to get myself in for?

Cheers

Mark

It's only ten pounds. That's not a "plunge". I'm sure you can afford that.

Why are some of the revelations worth less than others? Hmmm.

The guide within will give you significant insight into how I earn the precise sum of £13,566.71 each week, and how I do this by spending less than 2 hours on my computer each day. I will simply offer you a straight forward - albeit comprehensive procedure that will give you a guaranteed opportunity to make vast sums of cash at the most affordable price on eBay.
I already know how he does it, and since I'm so generous I'll let all of you in on the secret:

Step 1. Set up Ebay account
Step 2. Put up lots of auctions promising information for 10 pounds
Step 3. Grin as lots of suckers go for it and the money pours into your PayPal account
Step 4. Send buyers a 4 line e-mail with the amazing secret.

Genius!

Reminds me of a beautiful picture out of Mad Magazine: a hobo sitting on the street with a ripped suit selling books "the secret to my success"

It's been done before. And yes, there were a lot of people who sent a dollar to that guy.

Nothing like a little techno-panhandling to get you by.

Yeah, of course you should buy it. These kind of "products" are always worth your money. Sucker.
