    WOW, someone just paid $530 for an EMPTY Xbox 360 BOX !!

    I figured that since the Xbox 360s are coming out next week, I'd just have a look to see what they're going for and I stumbled across this auction that was just about to end -

    http://cgi.ebay.com/XBOX-360-PREMIUM...QQcmdZViewItem

    If you read it, it does say in the first sentence that it is the box and it doesn't come with the hard drive, controllers, etc... That is quite devious. Can you imagine not reading that and paying $530, then getting the package in, ripping it open and having an empty box, I'd be pissed.

    I guess that it's all about reading the description before bidding.

      Buyer beware
      SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

          Now that is fucked up! I hope the buyer realizes it and charges back. I would take the negative feedback on that one.........that is some bullshit.

              Ouch, pretty sad. I've seen that happen before, people just need to read what they're getting before buying.

                  I've bought empty boxes before.... only on purpose.. (dvd collections where i bought the titles seperately).. but this guy needs a beating.

                          Nah, this has been going on for years. They will have to give back the money / account frozen. Remember that eBay owns Paypal also. Its misleading and stated very prominently in their EULA because people that have issues with English cannot understand that box means packaging rather than the actual box itself. I see that constantly.

                                              ya, i see it all the time now too.
                                              get this Laptop Picture for $1,000 and people bid on it thinkin its a laptop...its just a picture they're bidding on.

                                              there was a case just like that in court (i read it a couple weeks ago), even though it was CLEARLY advertised as a PICTURE of a laptop, the people who bid on it won the case cuz the guy was intentually trying to mislead the buyers.

                                              dont worry, the stupid person who won the action will get their money back. and tomorrow, it all starts over again.

                                                                                      however i do notice a few things here that can get the seller in trouble
                                                                                      specifying box is Brand New,

                                                                                      (how can it be brand new if it was opened and contents removed?)
                                                                                      and also going out of the way to describe contents of the box
                                                                                      which are overselling/misleading and can be considered fraudulent

He's giving loads of detail about a XBOX360 even though he's stated it isn't coming with the packaging. Shouldn't he be giving details about what he's selling? Scamming motherfucker.

A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.
