Id be sick if that happened to me as I want it for my nephew. He's wanted a box for years & if I could get him an Xbox box he'd be the most popular kid in the street. If his mates found out it had a games console in it they'd all laugh at him.

How many times have you splashed out on an expensive gift for a kid and they end up playing with the box?

It's high time this market was exploited.

BLAH BLAH BLAH

Your comments have been noted, laughed at, and disregarded out of hand.

Let me know if you want me to email you my name, address and local police station phone number.

The auction fee was £2.50. £1 of which was for the £50.00 reserve.

Sorry Tru, but your actions are that of a slimy, self absorbed scabby scammer and I seriously hope you get some nasty Karma for preying on the less fortunate and stealing money from them

How can you say that your intention was to just sell the box when you know full well it is only worth a couple of quid at most is beyond me

You wanted someone to fall for it and pay over the top for it

I disagree, on both points.

Theoretically the Xbox 360 box is worth the difference between the price of a boxed Xbox 360 and an unboxed Xbox360.

I did not know that a unboxed Xbox360 with excactly the same equipment as a boxed Xbox 360 is 70 quid cheaper in the stores though, must off missed that

Don't be obtuse, we're obviously talking about the 2nd hand market here. If I could be bothered, I'd take some examples from ebay to show that a box increases the re-sale value of a console by x%.

When did it get removed by eBay ?

It was removed in the dead of night, apparently because I said I accept cash payment, the re-listed auction was concluded satisfactorily.

Well, are they aware its box they have purchased?

If so, who cares as to why they've paid so much, that is their business.

Well said, it is their business, no concern of anyone else.

Btw, I contacted the buyer to make sure they knew what they were getting.

Yeah, either way Tru is a scammer - he has scammed us or an unlucky eBayer

I've never known a heathen to have such strong Christian values.

As I said in my post, it doesn't matter (to me) what is in the actual text, the thread title alone is enough together with a high reserve.

And wasn't it changed as Ebay pulled the first one?

The thread title bore little resemblance to the auction title, if you read the thread before sticking your oar in you'd know this.

You'd also be aware that the first auction was pulled because I accepted cash payment. Ebay confirmed there was nothing wrong with the auction content.
