not real, you can tell by the bid activity

WuTangTurtle · « **Reply #5 on:** November 16, 2006, 06:43:36 PM »

How so? Is it because the price jumps up astronomically?

If true I'm going to contact the winning bidder and laugh at him.

Care to explain for those of us who can't visit eBay at work?

Ten thousand dollars? Christ Almighty.

The buyer would have been better served going to his local Best Buy at opening and paying the guy who's first in line three grand (or less) for his PS3.

Why didn't I pre-order one of these? Talk about a wasted opportunity.

WTF? Why is that page constantly moving downwards? Ebay really ought to ban JavaScript, people are abusing it like mad.

couchmonkey · « **Reply #13 on:** November 17, 2006, 07:31:28 AM »

I have no idea how that one is getting $100,000, but I'm impressed to see many going for thousands of dollars. I guess it would have been worth it to camp out overnight after all, I was beginning to doubt it due to supposedly low resale value of the Japanese models.

There's a lot of everything going on right now with the PS3 and Ebay. A lot of grievers for one. People who wanted a system, don't have one, and hate the ebayers for it. They bid outrageously without ever intending to pay and don't care about the feedback that they might get. Once one of these types have jacked up your auction by driving up the cost to insane values, your looking for problems if your the seller. This auction definately had them, -1 bidders driving up their own bid over and over...

...or this one may be legit. A *FEW* people will get lucky and get a large sale. If I had to guess, the winning bidder is a buddy of seller and you'll see a relist later.

check out any auction for >$3.5 K.... chances are it could have a 100%feedback guy with only a dozen or less, many will be 0 feedback users. They don't care about feedback.

*slaps forehead* So you honestly just said this one was "fake" without even checking it out? Yes it's a high price, but the winning bidder has a 100% feedback with 54 people weighing in and has been on eBay since 2003. That doesn't spell fake bidder to me. Most of us are pretty well versed in eBay, we know that "0 feedback" bidders on high price items usually means a fake bidder; this wasn't the case.

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #16 on:** November 17, 2006, 05:57:55 PM »

I have put limits on my auction, they need at least 2 positive feedback and no non-paying bids. They must also pay within 24 hrs.

I really don't understand why everyone doesn't do that for these launch consoles... it's not like they are going to have trouble selling them, and people get burned enough with having to pay eBay fees from "fake bidders" that you think they would learn quicker.

Yeah it is a huge risk to allow anyone to post, it is too bad you have to do things like that but you have to protect yourself. I've always been an honest ebay seller, whether it be for the Xbox 360, Nintendo DS and even the old Xbox along with various other things, I expect others to be as well when they are bidding.

No actually I still think it's a buddy of his helping him relist later. I still think it's "fake" in the sense that no transaction will take place. The risk of a mutual transaction withdrawal decreases significantly if you know the buyer...

Only allowable limits I've seen are for preventing bids from users with negative feedback. It's not in Ebay's best interest to implement restrictions of 0 feedback or greater (It would kill the growth of the service). Are the limits you speak of just textual in the description?

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #21 on:** November 17, 2006, 08:46:47 PM »

Buyer requirements
Block buyers who:

* Are registered in countries to which I don't ship
* Have received 2 Unpaid Item strikes in the last 30 days
* Have bid on or bought my items in the last 10 days and have met my limit of 100 who have a feedback score of 0 or lower
* Don't have a PayPal account

That is what I Have turned on. So I have blocked those with 0 or lower feedback.

Shecky · « **Reply #22 on:** November 18, 2006, 03:21:02 AM »

You have blocked those with 0 or lower from buying more than 100 items from you. The rule you list controls the number of items a single buyer can bid on or purchase.

In other words, someone with zero feedback can bid on your item if he hasn't bid on 100 other items you have.

Now I have a question about that: I'm only a buyer on Ebay and it annoys me when people don't wanna ship the item I'm interested in to where I live.
Is there a reason why? I mean, if the buyer agrees to pay shipping to his/her country, I don't see where the problem is.

vudu · « **Reply #24 on:** November 18, 2006, 06:39:26 AM »

She probably doesn't want to get sued by Sony.

VG, let us know when your auction is over; I'm curious how it goes for.

Ah good question, trust me I would if I could track the item. The trouble is that I've have a couple bad experiences where the item gets caught up in customs or something, and it takes weeks to get shipped leaving me wide open to get negative feedback. One guy actually left me negative feedback and did end up getting the game a few days later, but did not retract his feedback. So I keep it in the US where I can track the package and know for sure what is going on.

Ghisy · « **Reply #26 on:** November 18, 2006, 09:41:40 AM »

Hmmm, I see, well, that makes sense.
You could always state in the auction that any customs fees are the buyer's responsibility and delays may apply. As for tracking, you could use FedEx or others but of course, their prices are much higher than USPS'.
I'm just being the devil's advocate here but I totally understand your point of view, thanks for clearing that up

Talon · « **Reply #27 on:** November 19, 2006, 12:19:37 AM »

I do not understand why anyone would pay the RRP for the PS3 let alone $10000. The PS3 has one of the worst launch line ups ever. I definitely wont be buying a PS3 until there is a severe price drop and there is a few decent games (ie FFXIII). Not to mention it wont be launching in Aus until March.

IceCold · « **Reply #28 on:** November 21, 2006, 12:31:28 PM »

Oh God.. Apparently, someone bidded $900 US on 3 PlayStations, probably expecting it to be a PS3.

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #29 on:** November 21, 2006, 01:01:17 PM »

I hate that crap where sellers try to deceive the buyers. It is stuff like that which causes ebay to put so many restrictions on sellers, heck one of my Wiis was pulled and I have no idea why I had my receipt, my name card and the system all in the pic.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #30 on:** November 22, 2006, 08:07:23 PM »

The title is pretty unambiguous. Even though the text itself can't be read since it tries to run away from the viewer (faulty Javascript or on purpose?) that should've been plain as day.
