Bidding on a 360 on E-Bay

[dansaint]

Now it's just the console I'm bidding on (they basically bill it as a backup/replacement). No cables, hard drive, or controller. My max bid is $30 and I'm leading right now at $15 with about 18 hrs to go.

I don't have a HD TV...so what kind of cables would I need.

Also, do they make RF Adapters for the 360? My TV doesn't have AV slots, just that little knob on the back that requires the male port to be plugged in.

How much would it run me to get the required cables? I don't think it comes with a power pack either? But for $15 to get a working console...I have to assume it's a good deal regardless.

If you think you are getting a good working 360 @ only $15, I'm telling you now bro, that is just crap, it is a ****e deal, drop out if ya can.

why isnt the person selling the cables or any controllers with it? i would be careful. could be a broken 360, one thats been opened up, or bricked.

First, do you honestly think you're going to get even a bricked 360 for $30? If so, I have oceanfront property in Nebraska to sell you. I've seen sale prices of items climb $150 in the last hour of an auction.

Second, no cables, no hard drive, no controller, and you are confident this thing functions? Sounds like it's bricked to me.

Good luck, but you're probably getting scammed. Then again, probably not, because the chances of you winning this auction for less than $30 are about the same as Britney Spears abstaining from drinking for the rest of 2007.

Take care,

Well if you buy the warranty with it it might be worth it.

Don't get your hopes up. This is a common scam on ebay. An item is listed at a ridiculously low price. You put in low bid, you lead right up until the final hour. Then the leading bid mysteriously skyrockets and you start getting e-mails asking if you want to put in a higher bid. It's rip-off city.
