retail used game prices

Just at places like EB & Gamestop. There are few indy shops around here that don't charge over $30 for used games and they give about $25 in trade for the $30 ones.

Credit Card Fraud.

More like credit card interest rates, certain people should go to hell for that one.

itunes and any other online music download sites you have to pay subscriptions for only to have a limit to how many songs you can have and have the nerve to load DRM crap that has no business being there in the first place.

I like the one where they send you an email that roughly says "Sorry for the inconvenience PayPal customer, but our computer records were wiped, can you please send us your details again by email so we can reset your account".

The classic schoolboy grift is to buy a book of raffle tickets and sell them to old people when there is no prize.

The best one I've ever heard of is these chicks come upto you and ask you to lick their tits. Naturally, you do, but then you pass out. They lace their boobies with a strong sedative, and once it knocks you out, they take anything of value that you have.

Here's one.

Printer companies don't put the printer cable you need in the box.

You have to buy printer cable. Oh, it's only $25.

The cable costs THREE DOLLARS.

Repeat with stereo equipment, tv's, etc.

On a related note, how you can get a color inkjet printer, with a set of cartridges for less than it costs to get refill ink cartridges down the line.

Anything from an infomercial (and the cheap knock-off versions).

Anything advertised through spam mail and the crap that has to use pseudo-l33t speak to get you offers that you don't give a shit about.
