LOL!

Either its a disgruntled 360-less person or a scripted eBay bid bot set out to sabotage these damn ludicrous auctions

i used to use auction killer. it would bid in the last 3 seconds and usually win.

lmao, i REALLY hope it is or maybe its a staff member from MSuk thats doing it, either way top job, i hope it keeps doing it until the 360 is available everywhere and these robdogs cant make the money they wanted.

A guy I play with on live sold two today for £500 each cash. The people came and collected them and he ended his ebay auctions early.

They were over the moon apparently

No ebay sell fees, no paypal fees, no tax

£440 profit in 2 hours

He had another three people offering the same amount

And they have been going for alot more than that. Nothing seperated more easily than fools and their money. Still there choice.

A perfectly legitamate auction started off at 1 pound with no reserve so effectively the 360 could have been sold for 1 pound plus postage.

I hope the ebayer can simply delete the bids by these retards, and anyone who condones this sort of thing is pathetic in my book and are probably a disgruntled child who never got one on release, so pathetic to see people acting like this over a want.

Because that is all the xbox 360 is, its a luxury item. Not something we need to live, infact these people who winge and moan on these forums about not having one and others selling theres are greedy.

Look at yourself in the mirror, because I can smell your greed to have a 360 more so then any persons so called greed to make a quick buck (who knows maybe they need that buck to buy other family members good christmas presents or heaven forbid pay off their VISA bills)

some people on these forums need to grow up

Well £500 is cheaper than movietyme http://www.movietyme.com/catalog/pro...ucts_id=30366& The games are cheap though.
If someone was willing to pay you over the odds for your car or home you would happily accept it and I think it should apply with the 360 too. I wont be selling mine though as I bought it for me to play on and I love this piece of hardware

Well said Kopite (were gonna crush the pie eaters today)

all this winging is simply because certain people want what others have got to a point its gonna ruin theses forums.

and its not like they wont eventually be able to walk into a shop and say xbox 360 please and the guy says "Thats 249 for the premium or 179 for the core" and they look on the shelves and behold there are 50 titles to choose from not 12 and most have not been rushed or crushed to be out for release date.

or is it the fact they really do believe in santa and not having that eggnog and 360 next to the fire side before the 25 th, will make their lives unliveable

Is it me or are these once great forums being over run with hoody types
