I sold a Vuitton purse for my sister on a new account (testing what was possible). So, selling 1 used X-box on a relatively new account is not that big a deal, IF you supply tracking and get no complaints.

Re-list that exact same item multiple times in a week, pull out money as fast as possible and that account is done.

That $99 dollars new, with a 2 year LIVE contract at the inflated price of $65/year. Also, you can get refurbs of the base 4GB model for $150.

I sell them when I find them at yard sales and have had no problems.

Just make sure you emphasize they are used etc.

Yeah, it's a risk, but depending on what you sell BEFORE you sell that, you can sell it without incident. Just make sure before you spend the money that your buyer has received the item AND you have the tracking number listed on BOTH ebay and paypal. It also wouldn't hurt if the buyer left positive feedback too. Paypal has no problem with the buyer having received the item and is happy with it, and you spending the money after they have that on record.

The only time I can remember having an issue is when I found one at a yard sale new in the box never opened and listed it as new. Next time I will list it as used one time or something and still mint condition.

As Slapped mentioned, any time an individual seller has a steady supply of a hot selling brand name product at prices below the normal wholesale cost, eBay will know that something is up - that the items are most likely counterfeit or stolen.

The fact is, even if you could get together enough money to buy 1,000 X-Box's, that order still could not even come close to what Wal-Mart sells in one week.

The only time this COULD happen is when a new model comes out and the older ones are sold as closeouts. But by then, the older models are not all that popular anymore.

One of the big myths of wholesale is that there is some magical source of cheap name-brand products that will enable you to have the lowest price on eBay, below what Wal-Mart could buy it for. Everyone is looking for that. But,like Santa Claus and Bigfoot, everyone has HEARD about them, but nobody has actually SEEN THEM. They do not exist.

If you want to build a LEGITIMATE online business, you have to find a niche, or several niches. Buy a closeout deal of sweaters in July when nobody wants them and list them for sale in October. Look for undervalued used items. Find a non-branded alternative (but not a knockoff) to a popular but expensive branded product. Something along those lines.

A LOT of poster here seem to think that Selling XBOXES at Below Wholesale Prices is NOT Risky,,I ASSURE you it is,,,

Yes Ebay will Not bother you if you sell a Few at Below wholesale prices, 1, 2, maybe even 10 within a Short period of time,,,Look Ebay KNOWS what the Wholesale price is, and they also know that anyone can find a few at a Liquidation or bankruptsy sale,,,but if you think that you are going to have Sustained and Constant sales of 40, 50 or More Xbox's without Ebay Taking Notice,,,You are Outta your MIND,,,,

First off whoever or whatever your source is, I GUARANTEE will NOT Last Long, and as for Ebay, They WILL Look into it for 2 Reasons:

(1) They do NOT want a buyer to have some sort of problem when they go to register their Xbox

(2) Ebay will Protect their Big TRUSTED Sellers (Like Best Buy, Tiger Direct, ect, ect) who WILL Tell Ebay that what you are doing is IMPOSSIBLE


So Go ahead and sell 50 Xboxes for $150.00 in a Month and let us Know how you make out,,,

Here is a little more food for thought on this thread,,,

Just in case that you think that you are the ONLY person who has come up with a "Workaround" for this new Promotion that Microsoft has for this $99.00 Xbox, where you think that you will be "tricking Microsoft into sending you an Xbox for $99.00 and then you Resell for less than the $199.00 price tag on Ebay or Amazon,,,Think AGAIN,,Countless Lowlives got the VERY SAME Idea at the Very same time ALL Over the PLANET,,and there is NO DOUBT that Microsoft, Ebay, Amazon, Paypal, ect, ect, are "ON IT",,,,

Now if you still want to Risk it,,well,,all I can say is Good Luck

Im Done with this Thread
