Xbox 360 steal on eBay... is it even possible !?!?!?!

[Mr.Faxanadu]

Last night I was wathcing 2 Xbox 360's that were being sold on eBay in my area. What exited me was that they were both well under $100 with just over an hour left on each. Sadly as the auctions came closer to closing they both shot up to over $500 each

So I ask, have any of you out there been able to get a sweet 360 deal off eBay? Is this even possible ?

I would never buy a first wave release. I always wait for 2nd or 3rd wave to be released. Less bugs.

True to that.








Listen to this guy...he knows what he is talking about.

I've heard that some premium auctions are closing below $500, with free shipping included! So it appears that if you really work hard, you can get one on Ebay for like $30 over what it would cost at a store.

The funny thing is, with that markup, the seller actually is probably losing like $25 on the deal. It's kinda amazing how the tide has turned on the Ebay 360 auctions. It's now a buyers market. Some profiteers are probably getting real nervous right now.

Afaik you can update the xbox360 via internet so I dont see the reason to wait for a new wave of consoles.

Especially since it's most likely too late for Christmas, I think the price of these will stabilize at retail.

When I went to the TRU sale yesterday they had 3 360s available to me. I would have bought them but no cash. Was gonna resell them but the guy was like

"It's awesome man, get one"

Then I said

"If by awesome you mean really getting into a game then 30 minutes in then the system crashes, then yes it is awesome"

I doubt you'll be able to get a deal on the 360 until February. No one is dumb enough to have lost money on it over eBay. But time will come.

That made me laugh in what you said.

Yeah I would buy them just to resell to. Thats my purpose...make the dough.
