PS3 on Ebay.

[Handycrap101]

I was bored so I decided to look for PS3's on Ebay and of course I knew they weren't available yet but to my amazement I see people actually selling the PS3 and I have no idea what to think of this. I also noticed people are actually bidding on it and I was considering it as well. Here is a link to the on I want to bid on, I want you guys to tell me whats going on and if i should bid.

Don't bid, they're fake you idiot :|

[woundingchaney]

Does ebay have any kind of policing to eliminate potential scams such as this.

[Handycrap101]

If i was to bid what would happen? Isn't the illegal?

[Ravster]

if you bid, you'll probably receive it some time after the Ps3 actually comes out.

He's got a zero rating, so he'd just steal your money and have a laugh.

He's also selling XBox 360s if you look at his other auction. :D

[Handycrap101]

Hmmmmm I've got an idea... MY 100TH POST HAS FINALLY COME!!!!

[Ravster]

^lol

Congrats


Anyway, zero rating = n00b

or that he/she is just starting out

I wouldn't mess with it. However bid on it is probably going to have to pay the money. So he'll probably get money for this ($79.00+). It seems like a scam to me or just a bad idea.

EDIT: Damn..I just noticed his tagline underneath title "BRAND NEW .... GET THEM NOW ..BEFORE THE PRICE GOSE UP". Yeah its a scam.

Ebay dont care what sells.
all they care about is there money.
i see haunted dolls that get sold on ebay lol.
this person that selling the ps3 does noot have any feed back yet lol.
people are so dumb.
somebody should email ebay an ways

[Gegenki]

I messenaged him

How can you be offering the actual system if it isn't out yet?

it is to reserve the system and buy when it its released then it will be shipped

Bet you get it..... 7 years down the line when the console costs half the price you brought it for and PS4 came out the year before

[xbdestroya]

People, there is NO situation in which this makes sense.

Handycrap just please don't bid on this nonsense... please... for me...

[lip2lip]

Oh buy one!

I wonder if I could get dork to buy me one.

[mikeeazy]

There isnt anything to consider, even if he was gonna two ps3s when they came out, keep one and sell the one on ebay, then it would still be a waste. It would be best just wait and preorder one at the boutique so you will get one on time.

[SheElf]

O my god, what a scam..

Q: hello, sean. I would like to know if this is the REAL playstation 3. I placed a bid but now im not sure what i paied for. e-mail me with a response at...more

A: HI ITS FOR THE SYSTEM ON ITS RELEASE DATE..IT WILL BE SHIPPED TO YOU.IF YOU HAVE THE WINNING BID PLEASE SPECIFY THE COLOR YOU WOULD LIKE.THANK YOU

s/he just registered with ebay like 2-3 days ago and still zero rating, and s/he has like a dozen of ps3/x360 for sell.

[Forbiden]

That just proves it is a scam, he probably will just run off with your money. I wouldnt buy anything 30+ on Ebay cause it could just be a total scam, the people could just end up stealing your money. It is just easier to buy with an importer/local store because you have a insurance that they will actualy give you what you pay for.

It is real, not a photoshop fake. Here is a link to the follow-up story on the same website as your signature. It is about a Microsoft employee confirming that the thing is real in his blog.
