]]> Oven door or is it a TV?Police in San Leandro police busted a man this week who was trying to sell a Sony HDTV in a Wal-Mart parking lot for just $100. As a savvy consumer I’m sure you’re asking…what’s the catch? Well, it’s not a TV. It’s an oven door with some Sony stickers and a bunch of cables crammed into the back.

The perp was called in by an anonymous tipster who said the man tried to sell the TV, claiming he had purchased it for $60 at a flea market. The man was clearly committed to his sale – he packed electronic cables in the back, found some Sony stickers, and even included installation instructions. Though the police didn’t file charges for the attempted sale, they did confiscate the TV. Guess who’s going back to the station to try to play Halo 3?
