Is this real?

*scam link removed*

I don't understand how this could be real. But maybe it is...I don't know.



I bet the Wii U would sell more than 15M LTD by the end of 2015. He bet it would sell less. I lost.

Pretty much a guarantee this is a scam.

$30 and free shipping? I...I kind of want to throw $30 at it and see what happens lol

I mean, if I don't get a brand new Xbox One, I can just open a PayPal dispute. If this is a scam, it's a ridiculously poorly thoughout out one that may just tie up $30 for a little while.

You know what would be hilarious? If the person forgot a "0" and meant to put $300.

Edit: Also, I tossed $30 at it to see what happens.

I must see how this ends

I already have a Day One Xbox One with Kinect, but for the heck of it...I just bought two of these.  If I just lost $60, then I guess that's on me, but if somehow it's legit, then I'll probably give them as gifts on my site.  Thanks for sharing.

It says new but then if you read the description/info at the bottom it says they were pre-owned but tested, cleaned, etc to make sure they were in 100% working condition or something like that.

Still though, even if a bit used $30 for an Xbox One would be a fucking incredible deal.

If they're actually used, it makes the potential $30 instead of $300 screw up even more likely, although technically their listing is false since they are selling an item as new that they describe in the listing as used. There are moneyback guarantees both through eBay and PayPal though, so like I said, I'm not too worried about forever losing that $30. If I don't get a functional Xbox One unit, I still get my money back.

And I just tossed another $30 out because my friend wants one and is at work currently. He'll pay me back if it actually works out, or even if the payments clear so that I can get that cash back until disputes work out and all. I gave him the rundown on the fact that odds are definitely against this working out, but we both agree that this is a pretty harmless risk to take with a potentially nice payout.

Neither of my payments have cleared yet though. I wonder if it's eBay intervention, that maybe the sale is flagged or something, because, at least in my experience, payments usually take at most a few minutes to go through.
