Currently there are two trade in offers for trading in a ps3 towards a PS4. One of them is 50% extra, and the other is $100 or $150 towards a new PS4. I want to take advantage of this deal by picking up a cheap ps3/xbox 360 on craigslist, and trading it in but I have a question. I haven't traded...

Question: I am seeing a lot of ps4/xbox one auctions ending and the highest bidder has a feedback score of 0 and joined eBay last week. Is it generally accepted that this particular buyer is a fraud?

The prices have really gone down on eBay. I hope they rise as the release date gets closer...

Thanks for all the advice, I decided to have Amazon ship the ps4/xbox one to my house and send it to the buyer via USPS the same day. Should I be worried about bidders with no feedback? I am seeing them a lot in these auctions.

Just to add what tvu123 was saying, if you live in a residential building or shipping to a business, UPS requires signature delivery on all packages. Also there are some areas where all packages shipped via UPS require a signature. When I lived in a house, the carrier would often just put the...

Whenever I buy anything from amazon I need to sign for delivery. I'm pretty sure the buyer would have to sign for it in this case.

Really? It seems like a lot of sellers are doing that now on eBay. I figure the risk is low since by the time the console ships you should have your money. I never scalped a console before so if you guys think it's a bad idea then perhaps I should reconsider my plan.

I agree. I want to list my ps4 and xbox one preorder from Amazon early enough so that Amazon can ship it to the buyer directly. Plus I want to list it early enough to get the funds cleared into my bank account before it gets shipped. I think I might list the ps4 around the first week of November.

Great, thanks for the information and thoughtful analysis. I'll be sure to heed your advice and hold off listing them now.

Once the PS4 and Xbox One was announced I preordered them on Amazon. Placed the order on June 10th, the minute they were online. I actually planned on getting them both and never scalped anything before, but college happened and I really need to pass my classes this semester. Seeing as you guys...
