I learned this the hard way. A couple of years ago, I bid in an auction that was selling a Nintendo Entertainment System, the only problem I saw with the auction was that the seller had only 14 feedback, but they were all positive and were from other seller accounts. I went ahead and won the auction, then about a day later I recieved an email which gives me a URL to an emulator website (an emulator is a video game system used on your computer, it is illegal). I came out at a loss from this, and the seller said it was my fault because I did not ask if the system was real or not. I was supposed to ask all questions before I bid, but I had no reason to because it didn't say anything about an emulator.
