Buying game consoles
I need advice on buying game consoles from Ebay. I've never bought, so I don't have feedback, and I'm not too similar with PayPal.
I do know how to buy things, and shop for good deals, but how do I know I won't get scammed into buying a crappy 360? scotch + boredom = GF fum times |

I recommend going with a refurb model. You'll find them on ebay as well as at stores like GameStop. Buying one used is never a guaranteed deal. It could work, it might not. The worst the seller has to lose is a slice of positive feedback. You can always file PayPal disputes and claims but in the end you'll just get your money back and be at square 1.
With a refurb you get the manufacturer's warranty again, which means even if the refurb is a dud (rare, and in my experience so far, never) you can get it taken care of. I actually bought my refurb XBOX through GameStop on eBay. (They have an account and list things periodically) Of course the only sure way to get a perfect condition console is to buy one new from a store that you can return it to if you have problems. You'll pay for that luxury though. I prefer refurbished to used because at least refurbished means everything was checked out and is guaranteed to work. Used just means you are playing Russian Roulette. I did think of asking you to join my little scheme, but somehow I knew, 007's loyalty was always to the mission, never to his friends. ~006

I have a few things that I have to focus on first, but I'm definately going for price.
