So someone actually paid that much for a Xbox 360 box, which isnt even an actual Xbox 360 box.

The winning bidder had another issue where he didn't read the auction.......methinks he's plain dumb.......On the other hand, that seller has 4 other boxes (actual ones this time) for sale

HAHA, look at the buyers feed back, he realised his mistake and wanted a refund, the seller left negative feedback cuz the buyer is a moron.
"didn't/can't read ad then wanted refund threatened us with extortion bad ebayer"

HAHAHA


It does not contain an Xbox 360 console, just the Xbox 360 home-made box. this box is great hand made by me says XBOX right on it It doesn't look anything like the picture I included in the auction. It looks much better, in my opinion.

Wow, some people just don't understand the reading concepts... I mean WTF? Personally, I'd make the guy pay just for being an idiot, but then again, you wouldn't want a bad rep for this guys stupidity either.

^yea exactly. Thats what happens when dont properly read stuff. If the seller was just selling the box, he didnt need to put the Xbox specifications and all. He put it, just to fuck up stupid buyers like this guy. Should have read it all before buying. Its just not one, it had like 19 freakin bids.

Looks like Ebay suspended his account. Good to see, as he was clearly trying to screw people. Hope the victim gets all his money back.

well according to the bid retraction comments.
The seller changed the description of the item.
So i am guessing he was selling the real xbox then changed it to a box????

This is the PREMIUM BUNDLE BOX only. It would include bonus accessories, if it were the actual PREMIUM XBOX 360! DOES NOT Come with 20GB Hard Drive, Console, HD Cables, Wireless Controller, Headset! In other words for those of you who do not understand, YES YOU ARE GETTING AN EMPTY BOX SO DO NOT ASK! Great for gags! DO NOT bid if you don't intend to buy! No excuses, I will not retract bids for you! You will be reported to eBay if you backout after winning the auction. I Cannot be more clear! This is not even a factory made xbox 360 box. I made it myself, just a few minutes ago. It does not contain an Xbox 360 console, just the Xbox 360 home-made box. this box is great hand made by me says XBOX right on it It doesn't look anything like the picture I included in the auction. It looks much better, in my opinion.

this is exactly what he says and 19 asshats still bidded!
