You walked right into it. You bluntly begged for sarcasm.

Since this particular auction is closed, it may be moot, but, he
says...

Up for sale is a brand new activation key for Adobe Photoshop CS2. It
is brand new and guaranteed to work or your money back. All updates
online and all full features, all you need to do is download the full
trial version and purchase one of my activation keys and you will have
a full working version...

So perhaps what he is "selling" is the key for the trial version,
which you would have gotten for free anyway.

It reminds me of the guy who sold "Perfectly Detailed Miniature
Portraits of George Washington, authorized and printed by the United
States Government" for only $10.00.

What you received was a postage stamp.

Fortunately there are more suckers than crooks...

That was last night.  Reported it after doing a little research last night
after my initial post. So yes, "We".
