Hope this isn't already well covered territory, but I just have to say it. People are stupid!!! Especially when you add ebay to the mix. My buddy who camped out last night to get an X-box called me at work to tell me he got one but that he might sell it since the last one he saw on ebay sold for $1600.
So, when I came home for lunch I decided to check it out. In the first two minutes I watched a unit sell for $1850. That's bad enough, but the ****** up thing is that the price was driven up by multiple bidders who had no or negative only feedback.
How stupid do you have to be to continue increasing your bid when the person who keeps out-bidding you just joined the day after the release of the item you are about to mortgage your house to try to get?
It's obvious that people who are selling the consoles have created "fake" user id's to go out and bid on every X-box 360 so as to inflate the market. Idiots!
Anyhow, just my little rant. I hope no one on here is either the idiot willing to pay that much or the asshole who would screw over a lot of honest people just to raise the value of the item they are selling.
