When a console is being scalped, you know it's the next hottest thing.

This is nothing though. Show us the ones sold for 200-600 dollars.

I guess watch this auction for the next 36 minutes as of my post.

But yeah... I really doubt there is going to be masses of people buying these "stocking fillers" for near this price, just some of the extreme collectors or those scalpers trying to sell them on for more... but obviously that is a market just created by itself and fighting with itself over the illusion of value on the item.

this one ends in 3 mins

Seriously though the amount of new accounts bidding on this thing makes me think that it 100% is being boosted up by the scalpers with alt accounts on ebay hoping to make money on these.

While it had 30 or so bids there was only 7 actual bidders, many with 0 or low rep.
