Quote:Are you going to be selling XBOX 360's? They will be in very high demand when they are released and there is lots of money to be made! During the Christmas season, you will be able to sell xbox 360 for more than double its price! You will need an eye catching email address to stand out as a serious seller on ebay. You are bidding on this email address: xbox360seller05@yahoo.com This is a great email address to have to make the best sales you can get. Good luck with the auction. Thank you.

ROFL, the winning bidder has a FB of -1, for deadbeating on another Xbox scam auction (for pictures of an Xbox)

I was just about to say that seller is probably going to end up with a negative or worse because that auction is very misleading because it really looks like the auction is for the xbox. The seller fully describes the xbox in the auction and even says, "Please email me with payment method and shipping address ASAP" - if this is just for an email address why would he need a shipping address?

Then, just as I was about to leave the page I saw the seller is no longer registered.

Quote:How hot is the new Xbox 360? Some people offered hundreds of dollars just to buy the cardboard box in which it's packed. One person even bid $630 merely for a picture of the machine.

But then reality hit.

Capitalizing on shortages of Microsoft's new video-game console, several people have attracted bids as high as $600 or more on eBay this week by offering Xbox 360 boxes -- just empty boxes -- in ways that made it seem, without reading closely, that the items for sale were actually consoles.
