Yesterday we posted a tip about how to get Playstation and Xbox consoles on the cheap via eBay. Well we thought we’d also pick up on two auctions that exhibit the negative side of eBay video game auctions. Back in May this year an eBay seller successfully sold an Xbox box (yes, just the box) for $200. And again this September someone managed to sell a PSP box for a little over $200. Since these auctions are not breaking eBay’s rules there’s nothing they can do to stop them.
The PSP auction is still online at the “Read (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8211851366&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1)” link below, but the Xbox auction went offline a month or so ago. You can read about the Xbox box auction here. With the impending release of the Xbox 360 (and inevitable deluge on eBay) expect a lot more Xbox boxes to turn up on eBay this November. Don’t say you weren’t warned!
