    is that credit card or cashiers check? I'm planning on using credit card or just going our separate ways...

      Apparently the seller has had two credit card #s stolen and right now their books are under review from some agency. this reeks but im not sending a money order out and i figure when the review is done the way they deal with credit card purchases should be safer. Looks like if i dont just scrap this auction i wont be getting the 360 till mid-june...

      what does the sellers credit card have to do with you paying with your CC ??? Why would you have to wait till June if you don't get this one ??? Just curious.

        I mean two credit cards used to buy something from the seller were stolen, so their online checkout (which is how you would pay with your credit card) is down while their credit people go thru it to verify none of the other credit card #s in the database have been stolen. He said it'd take another 10 days and would call me tomorrow and update me since I told him i wasnt going to pay any other way. Add the 10days shipping time and thats why I said June. I figure this wasnt on the listing so im thinking about just cutting the deal off when he calls me, even though it is a very good deal getting all those extras for all off $20 over retail of the system alone...

          Uh... he has the same exact auction up again now with 4 more 360's.

          I would cancel that **** if I were you! NO way in hell he can do that deal 8 times. Either the items are HOT, or he is running a scam. That simple, only way he can do 8 of that deal.

          Did a little hunting:



          Address:
          GCSSXS
          Leah Gryphon
          430 Knox Road, 800 North
          Abingdon, IL 61410

          We started gcssxs to bring you the ultimate in extreme
          PC games from around the world, bringing you
          AFFORDABLE XBOX 360 PREMIUM game systems
          from reliable sources.

          WE currently have for sale the following:

          52 XBOX 360 PREMIUM game systems ( NOT
          the basic core systems ). These systems
          come as a package deal that includes the
          following items:

          XBOX 360 PREMIUM game system
          Extra wireless controller,
          2 memory cards for controllers
          Multi-media remote control,
          Wireless networking adapter and 12 month
          subscription
          for internet gaming.

          These are the latest generation systems !!!!!!
          NO OVERHEATING AND NO LOCKING UP !!!!!

          --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

          If it is legit.... Those systems 'fell off a truck'. That simple. They didn't buy out some company that had 52 premium xbox systems with those extras and are able to afford to sell for that price. No way in hell...

            So do you think its fully within my right to retract my winning bid? The whole thing sounds sketchy. as much as i'd like an extra controller and the wireless adapter, i already have a wired controller from mad catz. I'd rather not run the risk for that kind of money...

            EDIT

            Yeah they're definitely one and the same, thats the number I called & talked to someone at. For all I know they bumped the auction up to 450 at the end just to match that price. Im really undecided. Can I get a Yay/Nay from a few of you guys, its a hell of an offer to pass up. If not this its probably bestbuy later this week ..

              There's no way I'd do it man, but that's just me. It just sounds too good to be true and he's giving you excuses about credit card payment. There's a few red flags that are sticking out to me.

                Re: ebay 360 deal

                Yeah I just sent a message through ebay about breaking the deal off. I dont doubt they have the systems but the whole thing is sketchy, id rather just buy the system and have it in my hands..

                If I just go to a store like Best Buy or CC how long am i covered in case the system acts up? I dont want to spring for either store's plans you have to pay for, im just wondering about microsoft's coverage..

                    You can get the 2 year warranty via XBOX for 60 bucks and it covers all the hardware (controllers included) I haven't had a problem with my launch 360, but bought the warranty just as a safeguard in case I do.

                      You're doing the right thing, Tha_Kid. It's not worth the headache if it indeed ends up being a scam. Better to be safe, than sorry.

                        It's better to spend 400 dollars on a system than to almost double that having to buy one twice. I don't buy games or systems off of EBAY unless it's from a gameseller. I bought a group of 30 dreamcast games for 40 bucks after the Dreamcast had shut down. I though that's too good to be true, but did it anyway. The seller emailed me and asked me what format CD I wanted the games put on. I immediately retracted the winning bid and reported him to EBAY for selling bootlegs. I've learned that in the world of EBAY, if it sounds too good to be true, it is.
