Buying xbox 360 on Ebay?

Get it from a store - that way if it needs repair in the first year you can take it back to the store and avoid MS!

I was an idiot and bought a Xbox on eBay a few years ago without doing any research. It came and right off the bat I got the 3 red rings. I only saved around 100 getting it used, so I was stuck with a broken xbox. The guy who sold it said nothing was wrong and I must have something plugged up wrong, nothing was wrong it was just the xbox was broke. He refused the UPS delivery for the item back so I had to make a paypal dispute and after 2 or so months I got back all my money besides 90 bucks. (apparently if its over 200 and the person doesn't have cash in his paypal account you're screwed). I am still waiting on getting my 90. BUT the 360 was sent back to me and then Microsoft announced they extended the warranty, so i sent it in and got it fixed, then sold the system for 300. hahahaha.

Buying any Xbox 360 used isn't a good idea, even gamestop employees will say that, unless they don't give a shit.
