PS3 Slim on eBay for Cheap

[arthursiew]

i just found one for $199, since it's on eBay... it doesn't belong in the hot deals forum. I'm not sure whether it's the actual console or not... so I just ordered one and contacted the seller. If it's legit... I would jump on it. I'll update this if it's the actual console.

Wow! Seems like a trusted seller. Let me know how it goes.

[arthursiew]

I hope it's not one of those lucky draws... cause it's a little weird how this guy will have 9 of them. Anyways... 6 left... hope he will answer my email.

For some reason I remembered this:



Good luck tho

[Lopan]

Wow that's too good to be true. I'd buy all of them and re-sell them for $280

[GamerPS3-X360]

Its best to check their feedback and see what type of seller the person is...for sure if tries to scam you Paypal will most likely have you covered...hope all goes well in this transaction...Great deal...

This seller is also selling the Elite 360 for the same price...seems a little suspiscious to be so cheap

If you end up getting it leave details here if all went well.

But you never know, maybe they had some gaming convention or something like that, and they are lightly used. It could happen

Holy crap! Shipping a PS3 to Denmark only costs $9.99???!! Sounds pretty amazing to me!

Trusted Seller?!? Are you serious? Have you read his neg feedback?
I've been on eBay for 10 years and I would never buy from this guy.

Couple of red flags I see on this auction:
The price he's selling it at.
$4.99 for Priority Mail?
No Returns Accepted!
Stock image.
Read his neg feedback.
His username.
No description.
Condition of item new/used?
No feedback yet from buyers of this auction.

Just to name a few. Good luck with this one!

I just skimmed through his feedback percentage and read the positive feedback lol. I would rather pay $300 than trust this guy. Thanks for making us aware of this.

How he has 98% is beyond me? I don't like how the negative response doesn't affect the percentage.

It does. He has 520 some odd feedback so for every 5 negatives that equals 1% so with his feedback he can have about 10 negatives to = 2% therefore 98%

I see. I guess it's the way eBay calculates it.

Some people got ripped off buying from him. I don't know how they'll get their money back if there are no returns.

So, so true, even if it wasn't a scam one has to question the source of these items. I'd rather pay the extra and not risk anything.

You're from Lethbridge? Cool! That's my favorite city in Alberta.


I got scammed once on Ebay, the guy built up a solid feedback score then put up a memory stick for some wicked price. I decided that even though it looked a little suspicious, he had over 200 items sold and almost entirely positive feedback (>99.5%). As soon as he sold the lot of memory sticks he closed his account. Took me over 2 months on Paypal dispute to finally get my money back.

Yeah his feedback is a MEGA red flag Please don't buy from this guy guys, everything about his feedback spells scam, maybe not on cheap items, but I'm sure on something like a system its a scam.

The listing is gone. Maybe eBay was getting complaints?

Nope. He actually sold them all. Look at History to the right.

Oh, thanks for pointing that out. I should keep an eye on that seller to see if the feedback starts rolling in for these auctions.

Red flags are here

Whenever your account is stolen and compromised, the thiefs always sell high dollar stuff, cheap and in large quantities and always with no pictures.
This is a scam and if you bought this open a claim now. I speak from experience and I am trying to help you

[jw]

not to bump this but it looks like they finally realized they were scammed
