PSP boxes sell for $200 on eBay

Source - Joystiq

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” 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!

No they dont, look at the buyers feeback:

see that negative feedback given by the seller of the box saying: Won auction, but didn't pay. Sorry, but winning an auction is a contract.

This is cos people with feedback score like 3 are noobs and dont know what they are bidding on and cannot figure out how to pay, lol

i saw that auction for the psp one on www.funlol.com a few days ago
laughed my ass off

man . . . there are some stupid people in his world but damn . .
I don't know who's dumber, the seller or the buyer(s). :rolleyes:

Yeah I read the auction description, and the guy clearly states it's just the box. And there were over 40 bids on it. Stupidity runs wild with some people.

its the buyers fault if they bid, it says "box" more than once, even in the title in all caps. the seller even explains it in a sentence..unless thats an "after edit"..theres nothing misleading in this auction.
