is there really such thing as an "Ebay find"? arent the rest of the "Finds" threads basically comparisons to how much you'd turn around and make on Ebay? these for the most part seem like used game prices and not that special. this is just my opinion when i first saw this thread

i got a new halo 3 legendary edition $20 shipped

Absolutely, there are eBay "finds". In fact, it's one of my two primary ways to find rare games and valuable games at a discount. Yes, a search for "Bioshock Limited" pulls up multiple copies on eBay, but getting an early morning $19.99 buy-it-now on a copy certainly qualifies as a "find" (this did happen to me for the complete w/Big Daddy PC version). Ditto for the OP's grab of jewels like Pokemon Box NTSC and NCAA Basketball 2K3. Those are not at all easy to find in the wild to begin with so to find them anywhere at a discount is a Big Deal.

Sometimes people will set a low BIN so there are ebay finds

So much shadiness on ebay:

"This is an original xbox360 game disc and not a copy. There are a few light scratches but nothing deep. It is for the disc only. It does not come with a cover or inserts. This is how i originally bought the game."

Yet he has 2 available. I'm thinking they got scratched as he hurriedly removed them from the case the local retail store.

based on the number of disc only game he sold they are probably stolen

"This is how i originally bought the game for a cheaper price then buying from the store"

I guess stealing it is always cheapter THAN buying it from the store.

well the last 2 months on ebay i have gotten the following and most within days of release on the newer titles, i have lots and buy ti nows on a 30 sec refresh on my home system, and pick up tons of stuff with low buy it nows right as they are posted.

AvP - $30 shipped
Ao2: 40th Day $25
COD 2 - $5 shipped
COD3 - $6 Shipped
COD4: Goty - $12 Shipped
Just cause 2 - $40.03
7 game lot ( disc only - SW: TFU, Spidey WoS, Too Human, Section 8, gears, halo Wars ) - $40
Mass Effect 2 - $24
COD MW2 - $30 Shipped, then flipped it at GS trade in bonus for $47
L4D, Assassins Creed, Splinter Cell DA - $17 Shipped

a few others... i love the buy now quick sells... there have been more but those are off the top of my head... lots of deals there.

I really want a copy of Borderlands 360 on the cheap, been scouring but no luck. I looked at completed listings and someone scored a $15 BIN!! So jealous.

Not a video-game deal, but I just bought a Florida Panthers replica NHL jersey (older CCM-made one but with the tags still attached) for $20.94 shipped.

I got a boxed N64 Pikachu edition console with Hey Pikachu game, microphone, Pikachu blue controller and AC adapter, but no AV cable. The console was like new. The total was about $40 ($24.99 + $15 shipping). Somehow, I was the only bidder so the starting bid was the selling price.

I thought this was a great deal.

I think it's pretty clear that they're stolen. He's sold multiple copies of the same game quite a few times.

So...

1) This guy is obviously selling stolen goods.
2) He wanted $40 shipped for each of the scratched, disc-only copies of the game he stole.
3) People actually paid $40 shipped for each of the scratched, disc-only copies of the game he stole, a game that we've already seen on a sale at a number of places.

Wow...

EDIT: Looking at his complete auctions, seems like he probably works in a retail store and has been ripping them off slowly but surely. Bunch of disc-only games and a some iPhones.

Well, just picked up DJ Hero on the 360 for $21 shipped.
