A man in California was mugged by the 2 men who had agreed to buy his 2 PlayStation 3 systems over Craiglist for $2500 a piece. Arriving at a 1AM meet at a McDonald's in La Palma, the men he was selling to sprayed him with pepper spray and took off with the consoles.
I find it very hard to feel bad for this guy. First off, he obviously kept 2 PS3's out of the hands of people who really wanted them just so he could jack the prices. I know it's all about capatalism, but that doesn't mean he isn't a dick.
Secondly, any parent can tell you that meeting strage men from the internet in the middle of the night is a bad idea, especially when you are carrying $1200 worth of one of the hottest gaming products of the year. If ever anyone was asking for it, this guy was. The victim's name was not released, presumably so as not to have him labled world's biggest dumbass.
