There's 15,000 Xbox 360 auctions on ebay

eBay's CEO has said that there've been 40k X360s on eBay sofar. Based on estimates, that'd be 10% of the US shipment.

Yea, isn't that crazy? Going to be a lot of dumping once the shipments start rolling in (which I expect they will in the next couple of weeks).

Sorry to resurrect an old topic but I was browsing Ebay just for the fun of it (and to see if I could spot a 360 at a reasonable price), and I come upon a Premium selling for $500. Now I think to myself, "That's a good price considering it's on Ebay!" So I click on the link, and I can't believe what I see. Someone is selling the BOX and the PLASTIC WRAPPERS for the accessories for $500. The person pleads you to buy the box so they can pay for their 360 purchase...

I thought I had seen it all, but people selling a box for $500 definately makes my top 10 list for dumbest things I've ever seen. :D

I saw the same thing with the XBox1. The guy sold just the box for about $400 or so. There were like 30 bids too. I remembering checking the names to see if the same name was just trying to bring the bid up, and it was actually a bunch of different people. The guy was selling it "for collectors" and made it very clear it was just the box.
 
I doubt this has much to do with people not liking their 360, but more with people wanting to make a nice, tidy profit. If you can sell your console, then turn around and buy a new one in a few weeks and be a couple hundred richer, I think a lot of kids will do it.

That's what I was going to do. And actually I really like it.

Another factor is I was not able to get the premium. If I could get the premium later it would save me money.

I probably wont sell it now though. Seems prices are down a bit and it's getting late.

The sad thing is I will have $600 in the system when I get what I want. That's a lot.

Core pack+Mem card+game=445 after tax so far.

Now I need VGA cables and a Hard Drive=another 140+
