xbox 360

whats ur views on the buyin to sell on at a profit? seen them goin for near 1k

 

[Dan##]

the 1k ones are dodgy dude! Premiums going for between 500-550 at the moment with no games!

Ive got no problem with it myself, but if you havent got one already, you'll be lucky to buy one at RRP this side of xmas!

 

[unofficialPete]

..wish I had a few to sell I guess, I'd never pay extra for one though out of principle.. at the same time I'm not a fan of touts buying out tickets for concerts etc. slight contradiction heh

 

[RSi Dave]

my mate wanted to buy one to put straight on ebay.

personally i wouldnt bother, i would be having to much fun playing on one if i could afford one. however if i did have more than 1 i wouldnt feel guilty about selling one for profit, if someone is stupid enough to pay over the odds for something which will be silly cheap next year then its not my fault.

I've seen on some hardware trading sites they are changing hands for £500+ seen one go for £600. Crazy! give it till February and there will be loads in the shops

 

[Tim-Grove]

NOB'S


There's currently 2226 consoles listed on eBay so that would have been 2226 extra people that could have got one for a reasonable price.

Guy at work preordered one back in May. He received an email on friday morning from Amazon saying that he now won’t be getting it till Feb. Now he's got to tell his 10 year old son that someone else is playing on his Christmas present (more likely its sitting in someone’s bedroom waiting to be sold).

Cheeky tw@t's even sent the extra controller and games he ordered but no 360 to play them on.

 

[bigmouk]

highest i have seen was a post on friday - £845 !

£300 more than what they are going for now... def more money than sense !

 

[Dink]

i think it's wrong to be honest but i can't be stopped as people always want something for nothing

Darkplanets are selling the Premium pack for £650!!

Amazon screwed me good and proper too, mine was pre ordered on the 19th of August.

I pick mine up tomorrow, and I've had to pay well over RRP, but no where near eBay prices.

I read that one guy bought 25 from Amazon, yet they were stopping some people from ordering 2!!!

Spoke to a guy at amazon on Fri and he told me you wont believe how many people ordered 10 !!! He said every order has been reduced to 1 no matter how many (mine was reduced from 2 to 1 automatically on the 1st dec).

I will be writing to amazon. As a customer of 5 years they can kiss my ar*e goodbye, please shutdown my account as i will never purchase anything from you again.

 

[Dan##]

Amazon are s**t! I ordered mine 2 weeks ago from woolies and i got it on launch day!

 

[Lee]

I was told on Friday that I was at the front of the queue and that I'd get mine before Christmas. BULLSHIT. I hate customer support, all they do is tell you what you want to hear to get you off the phone.

Woolies only decided to take pre orders at the last minute didn't they?

 

[bigmouk]

^^ they all been south african sounding to you lee ?

Couldn't say, as the order was placed by a guy I work with I had him make the call. lol Just as well as I'd have lost it the mood I was in today.

 

[Dan##]

Well when I asked they didnt have any on the system. Couple of days later they appeared, they said if I paid in full I was gauranteed one on launch.

Funny before, mate rang me about amazon. He sent them this email when he saw FEB 2006 on delivery of 360.

"You are a bunch of f*kin tossers!"

Dont think he has much of a chance now! lol !

I bet he felt better though.

I told someone at my insurance company the other day that "you are possibly the worst insurance company I've ever had the misfortune to use" he said thank you sir!!! Tosser.

 

[Dan##]

I once told a woman at o2, that she was "the most incompatent person i had ever spoken to" and she cut me off! lol

 

[bigmouk]

I wonder if they have a 2 choices at amazon when email enquiries come in....

1. Read the full email, investigate and feedback to customer.

2. SEND QUICK AUTOMATIC STANDARD USELESS EMAIL BACK.

mmmmmmmmmm, cant think which one they use everytime ........ (goes to check all emails from amazon re queries)

 

[bigmouk]

thinking of the following ....

[RSi Dave]

dodgy, the email address make me laugh!

xbox360@hotmail.com sold for about £200

 

[xtreme_boi]

Can see that people are not so mad to pay £1000+ for these xbox 360. Can see they are selling for the RRP

 

[spirez]

I wish i'd ordered one to sell on! Why not take the opportunity to make a bit of quick cash before xmas.

If people are stupid enough to pay over the odds for something that is just another games console, why not exploit it.

End of the day there are stil great games about on other consoles so i'll just stick to them until the 360 is £100 next xmas!

 

[cat171]

Tbh I can't blame them for selling them on for a profit, if the punters are sad enough to pay it its their fault.
Its also their fault that they have to have one now & can't wait a few months (when the price will prob drop too)

As the demand is way higher than the supply is it any wonder they are selling for loads ???
I just wish I had one to sell.

 

[Rasclart]

Think thats stupid!!!!

My xbox 360 saga has been immense so far. Bought a Core Package on Launch day for a little over RRP locally.

It died on Sunday MS are collecting tommorow and will have a new one back to me for friday.

I managed to Source a Core Console with Hard Drive, Component Cable and Headset. I also bought a VGA and Component cable from Scan and John Lewis.


I have just sold the Hard Drive for £140 (RRP £65) and sold the VGA cable for £75 (RRP £19.99) now that is madness

£215 for things that cost £85 TOPS!

[Rasclart]

Yeah I saw that crazy fools

I just cannot believe someone will pay £215 for 2 items! Is just plain crazy

Did u get one Dave?

 

[JJ!]

WHY WHY WHY!!! The price will drop soon and if the US consoles are anything to go buy, the first batch will be crashing and overheating!!

 

[FlamingMonkey]

Price won't drop till PS3 ships, then MS will drop the price and release Halo 3, thats the plan, thats what they have said.

Why drop the price when there is no competition as of yet.

OMG is that First Alternative!??? :S

Hope I don't need to use them then.


People are stupid to pay a fortune for X Boxs, but it's their money and their fault for not pre-ordering them if they wanted one that badly.

I think it's a bit out of order to buy up loads of them just to sell them on for a profit, but that's what people are like.

Don't worry Ali, they were being really shite over me covering a car I didn't own, but had no cover. They've been fine with everything else, well most things.

I did pre order, f**king Amazon c***s.
