Plasma TV anyone?
Charles Wright of Vacaville, California thought that he could make a quick buck by shrink-wrapping the tinted windows from old oven doors and passing them off as plasma televisions, offering potential buyers "the deal of the century" on merchandise stored in the trunk of his Acura. Well one of his marks ended up calling the cops, who eventually caught up with Mr. Wright and discovered the bogus "merchandise," along with boxed, 12-inch floor tiles that he was reportedly trying to sell as laptop computers. Pretty shoddy work, sir -- we've seen much better fakes in our day -- but then again, if someone was foolish to take advantage of one of these "deals," perhaps they really needed the life lesson anyway.

Many years ago (when I was in college) a friend of mine bought a video recorder (or so he thought) from a guy selling out of the back of a van in Manhattan for $50. The guy acted as if it was stolen, and in the end it was a brick wrappend in bubble wrap inside a sony box.
We all had a good laugh at his expense.

My favorite scam ever is where a scammer wanted to scam some guy of his Powerbook which was on ebay, but it was smart and realized it was a scam and instead of sending a real powerbook, he sent a 3-ring binder made up to look like a fake computer. The scammer had to pay $550 worth of taxes to pick up the package.
