Indeed, the BIN comment was just a bit of devilment on my part, it was something to get the holier-than-thou brigade frothing at the mouth.

Less talk, more action, Tru.

Write a revised Title and Description for us all to look at then.

I dont think there are, I believe that there are people out there that want to buy an xbox 360 system and will buy what Tru is selling after getting confused.

meh, this is pointless. i just realised that i'm arguing from my PoV and have no idea of Tru's intentions. i reckon you'd find a couple of people who want to buy it, but we're assuming too much for this to actually be a valid debate anymore. it'll just become an attack on the character of the OP.

Not wanting people to get ripped off is holier than thou? :/

I believe it is the very definition of trolling yes.

If there is no deception, why is he asked about how people read the title - why is he trying to craft his impression?

I wonder what sort of financial or moral difficulty would lead a person to do such a thing...

Oh please. You of all people should understand the art of using a post to provoke a reaction.

LOL!

Can you find a company that sells X-box boxes without the X-box in them?

My guess is - the company that makes xbox 360 boxes for the xbox 360.

I bet there is a company that makes boxes for them too.

And do they retail individual empty boxes to the consumer?

If they don't, do you think this is because there isn't actually a demand for empty x-box boxes - despite the spurious amounts they fetch on ebay?

And even if they did, it would be a fixed price of £9.99 or something - not an open-ended auction.

are you suggesting that if Tru puts his xbox360 box inside a bigger box, the sale will be legitimate? he could even sell it back to M$

I understand lots of things. Now stop being morally corrrupt with your dreams of an X-Box 360 box empire.

How about you convene a quick think-tank and brainstorm a title and description for me? If you lot can agree on the details, I'll use it in an auction.

As with PMQT, you have a limit on the number of questions you may ask, and I must be notified of the first question a few days in advance.

I'm not sure there is ANY demand for USED x-box boxes, even if sold in high quantity...

Ebay scammers would appreciate a cheap supply.

[Edit] By scammers, I mean entrepreneurs, obviously.

The question was rhetorical, may I have another?

(This question is also rhetorical)

So if Tru were to put in the box at a fixed price he determines then it would be ok?
