This is gonna be one pissed off ebayer

[Grave_Addiction]

I hate to see the look on the buyer's face when they open the box and realize what they bought.

What a tool! Well I mean those boxes do cost quite a bit...there is actually no way to spin that to justify such a purchase.

[Friedle]

Wow. Kinda makes me want to do that, lol.

I kid.

Did you notice the high bidder has -1 feedback?

[zionoverfire]

Did you notice the high bidder has -1 feedback?

Yes, I think it's an account to mess with sellers like this, although the auction title and discription is clearly labeled and the seller has 100% feedback.

[organicow]

Did you notice the high bidder has -1 feedback?
which likely means they won't pay for it anyway....

[Graystone]

I do not understand why buy a box for something like that. I could see if it was rare or something but that is not.

[Grave_Addiction]

Hah hah, the last guy must have noticed and retracted his bid. Before it was up to more than $40.

[greendc27]

Yes, I think it's an account to mess with bastards like this.

Yeah that's what I meant. The seller deserves it.

AGREE'D

[Genocidal]

Yeah that's what I meant. The seller deserves it.

Not really. If someone bought a used DS and wanted to make it complete for collection purposes, I could see them bidding on this auction.

[YoshiFan1]

Yeah that's what I meant. The seller deserves it.

Why? The auction doesn't seem misleading at all. Right in the title it says box only and then the seller even stated 5 days ago again it's for the box only.

I think it's different that those other auctions where the seller intentionally misleads the buyer to think it's a system.

[Grave_Addiction]

Not really. If someone bought a used DS and wanted to make it complete for collection purposes, I could see them bidding on this auction.

If that's the case, I'd be more than willing to sell someone my cardboard DS box for $30.

[YoshiFan1]

I would too, years ago I sold my Saturn box on EBay for $10 plus shipping. Before I sent it out, I sent the buyer another e-mail to let them know again it wasn't the system as well just to be safe.

[hobocorpses]

Pitty the naive bidder who reads title as "Nintendo DS-US Version Box....Only w/ Metroid Prime Demo"

[Grave_Addiction]

Okay, I have a mint Xbox box and an Indigo Gamecube box that I'm willing to let go for $50 shipped. C'mon guys, you just know you've been needing an extra Xbox and Cube box to complete that collection of yours.

Hell, maybe I can sell them to the psycho ebay mom.

[Friedle]

Actually, I need a jet black GameCube box. Not for $50 though. ;)

[coolsteel]

I imagine this was simply a case of someone bidding by looking at the picture instead of reading, unless the seller is cool and lets it go I doubt it will end well for the buyer.

[Grave_Addiction]

To the seller's credit, he did specifically say twice in the description the auction is just for the box and the system.

[snotnose_colossal]

I got a black gamecube box, you really interested?

[soulwish2003]

Yeah, not the sellers problem at all. The buyer just bought a box and a demo game... and hey, maybe that is what they wanted.

[shieryda]

The auction has been viewed 555 times already! Must be all of us reading the forum...

[Friedle]

I got a black gamecube box, you really interested?

Yeah, a little. How much did you have in mind?

[slidecage]

i dont see why ebay people cant read . i had auctions close tuesday what said will only take paypal, will only ship to confirmed address and only ships to usa

i had 1 person demand they be able to pay by money order

i had 2 people send payment with uncomfired addresss (what was both settled)

i had 1 person from asia someplace demand that i send the item since they sent payment and if i dont i wll be reported to ebay. every time i refund their money they send payment right back. so i blocked them

[Zero3]

Does anyone remember from the Christmas when PS2 was sold out and someone sold their PS2 box on eBay to some lady for $300?

Ya, it happens. Yeesh! I should sell "Socks not Game Worn by Michael Jordan". Yippee!

[uzumaki_star]

That is funny that anyone would waste money on just the box.

[greydemise]

...owned, im sry but that reallly sux

[$hady]

This is nothing at the PS2's release empty boxes were going for $600+

EDIT: Didn't notice there was 2 pages of replies. :roll:

[tholly]

there is nothing wrong with this auction

i have purchased empty system boxes off of ebay before (being the collector i am)...i mean, i know how to read, so that probably helps, and yes, the $46 is a little high for a box, but, it does include the demo that only came with the system, and maybe the person really wanted the box + demo

[Indiana]

I have one... how about $30 :)

[Lister]

I dunno...he lists the specs of a DS....why do that if you are only selling the box? I'd put a buck down that if the buyer wasn't reading it correctly, they could get out of it because he listed specs of a system that he isn't selling...

It was $400, and I think she didn't get her money back, from what I remember hearing about that situation.

[wubb]

My only problem with it would be the seller listed it in 'Systems' when they aren't selling a system and they included the specs of the DS. I don't think the box has '2D/3D graphics acceleration' for example.

But the title clearly says 'Box Only'. Not much room to really complain on this one.

[Friedle]

Heh. :bomb:

[RAMSTORIA]

I have to say that the box looks like its in really good condition.
