Guest RenegadeX28 Report post Posted October 1, 2002 Well, I click on some bids at Ebay for Ps2 and XBOX and they say FREE XBOX, FREE PS2. I click, and it says that you are not bidding on the product, but on a wholesale list. It says you can get the system for like 90% off the regular price, then sell them on Ebay. Are these lists legit??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MarvinisaLunatic Report post Posted October 1, 2002 I seriously doubt it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RenegadeX28 Report post Posted October 1, 2002 It could be, because I overheard some kid last year saying that he knew some guy that gives him XBOX systems for free. I think he mentioned wholesale, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest KoR Fungus Report post Posted October 1, 2002 Any time you bid on something that offers you the chance at something valuable for some tiny price, you're almost never actually going to get the valuable thing. When we sold Magic repacks on eBay, we always scanned in our Juzams and Mirror Universes, but the cards that we put in the actual repacks were always just garbage. This is probably like that, except worse, since you're guaranteed nothing. In auctions like this, you always get what you're guaranteed, and nothing more. You're guaranteed nothing, so you'll get nothing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RenegadeX28 Report post Posted October 4, 2002 Where are you Downhome with that info? I emailed you like 2 days ago, no response, and I saw you online, and you never responded. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest El Satanico Report post Posted October 4, 2002 I'm sure there probably are lists like that. I mean it explains how some people have alot of stuff for auction on ebay cheaply. But bidding on a auction to win said list probably isn't the best way to go about getting them. Well unless it's really cheap(dollar or less) and you wouldn't be risking much.

Guest TheArchiteck Report post Posted October 5, 2002 I also wondered about these things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest DrTom Report post Posted October 5, 2002 There probably are lists that allow you to get things like X-Box and PS2 on the super-cheap. The problem is, I'd be willing to bet the units they're selling are stolen, defective, or entirely mythical. In either case, they should be avoided, with the usual caveat that if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Downhome Report post Posted October 5, 2002 No, there really are lists like that, you just have to know where to obtain them. If you want them though, do NOT get one of those $1 lists off of eBay, because that is nothing but a surefire waste of money. I mean, really... ...if ANYONE could go to eBay and get a list of that sort for only $1-$10, wouldn't EVERYONE be selling stuff like that all of the time, and as a result the prices of these items would go down retail also. You have to either research where to get such lists, etc... or you have to find someone to talk to who knows where to get them. I know, for the most part, so if you want to talk about it email me. As for the guy that said he already emailed me, I never got your email. Are you sure you sent it to the right address? By the way, those lists that are on eBay, if you use your head, you can search for them on KaZaA under "Documents", and find them all to download there. I did it, and I've got them, and they are of little to no use, period. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest TheArchiteck Report post Posted October 5, 2002 Heh, man I so forgot about Kazaa. Thats usually the first place I check stuff for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RenegadeX28 Report post Posted October 5, 2002 Yep, some of the lists are indeed in Kazaa. I have found mad lists. Time to research.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
