Peter Clatworthy is hardly the only person to be fooled into buying a picture or box for an Xbox One console (or PS4, or any other desired game system). He spent $735 on a low-quality of print-out of an Xbox One console, thinking he was buying the console itself. But whose fault is this really? Should Clatworthy have been more careful? Or should eBay have stopped the auction from being posted at all? Is there ANY chance someone would want to spend that much money on a poor-quality picture? (spoiler alert: NO). What is the solution to stopping people from being ripped off by confusing online marketplace auctions like this? Kim Horcher and Tim Frisch argue over where the blame lies and what should happen next.

Message from Cenk Uygur: We are awed by what has happened in this campaign to build our new home. You have exceeded all of our expectations and made believers out of us. Usually the people who run a show are supposed to get the viewers to believe in them (if they even care to do that), but in our case you guys believe in us. The power of our audience gives us strength. It's what makes us too strong. I love you guys. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for not just the money you gave to build a new studio but more importantly the faith you showed in us. We love coming in to work everyday because we get to learn and share the news with you. I truly believe we have a unique bond with our audience that almost no other show has. We are one together, united behind an idea that we can work together to change the media and the government. We dare to believe we can make a difference. We dare to believe in each other. Thank you for all you have given us and I hope we can give back to you guys in the future in the shows that we do, the principles we fight for and the dreams we build together.Thank you for believing in us.
