Interesting.

Both are "refurbished/used".
They are "marketplace" ads. I'd bet amazon will find them and delete them pretty quickly.

I am pretty sure that this is against Amazon's policy and that the ads should get yanked by them, pronto.

Although for sale on the Amazon site, it's not being sold by Amazon, it is being sold by an amazon affiliate.

I must say that the XD is a game changuh. Before I owned this little master piece I used to worry whenever my mom would make me leave the basement to get more cheesey poofs at Wal Mart for her and my uncle Merl. Now I feel like I am king of the world, I have confidence and I know that this gun is the reason why. Once when I was at Wal Mart open carrying this bad boy and an over anxious employee tried to touch my no no place, if this was a glock I know I would have just gave in and went home and cried myself to sleep like most people, not with this bad boy! I ended up blading at 45 and started screaming "You will not touch my hoo-hoo!! You will not touch my hoo-hoo!!, and guess what, he did not touch it! After that I went home and wrote a strongly worded letter to management, he wont be making that mistake again thanks to the confidence Mr XD gave me. It also helped that with the light weight and ergonomics of this handgun my hand was not even tired when I wrote the letter and I was able to write a full 87 paragraphs to WalMart management to fully detail what happened.

The only problems that I have had with this gun are relatively minor. The first one is for some reason I have people occasionally go MERRRRRRRRRR when they talk to me and the other is that when you pull the trigger it makes a sound that kind of sounds like "fu arock". Not too sure what is up with that but I know a few Navy Seal Green berets that were scout snipers that I met at the gunshow that were buying some extra extra extra extra large marpat that said it is how you know it is tier one and not tier two. Overall I give this gun a ten out of ten for function and a twelve out of ten for being a confidence booster. Even my boss has noticed a difference in me and said if I keep up the good work I may get promoted to head fry chef. After twelve years at McDonalds this is a huge move for me. All thanks to this Springfield.

Wow let me start by saying the moment my mother bought this gun for me I stopped repairing printers and became a tier one operator. Open carrying this gun is the reason I was finally able to come out of my basement. Now when I open carry this gun to wal-mart I prominently display it in an air-soft holster as I ride the wal-mart provided rascal scooter. If you combine this gun with a T-shirt with wolves on it you are guaranteed to see some extra attention from the ladies!

I field tested it at the range last weekend and ran the standard 87 rounds through it to test it for durability and let me tell you it did fantastic. I took a shot at the dirt berm to see what kind of damage it would do and it ended up going all the way through the berm and hitting a dog a mile down the road! All the law enforcement officers at the range came by to give me high fives it was a great day.

Thanks Springfield!

Edgar posted a "classic"! "rlol"
Then check out the "Fresh whole rabbit" and "Uranium Ore". Why is everything $45 - $50 dollars? I don't know what uranium ore goes for, but that seem high for milk and rabbit...

A guy broke into my house last week at about 4AM. I was scared, but I saw my chance to be rid of this junk. I walked into the office where he was filling his bag with my other expensive electronics and offered this to him. He dropped his bag and promptly ran out of house without my stuff. This might be a con... If a product is so bad that burglars won't even steal it, that's sad.

This reminds me of the story last week of the guy who ordered a TV from Amazon but got a semiauto rifle instead:
