Xbox 360 Buyers Resell Product on EBay
SEATTLE - Forget day trading — the best way to make a buck this holiday season may be to flip your Xbox Xbox 360.
The online auction site said about 1,800 Xbox 360s were sold there between midnight and noon Pacific time Tuesday. Retailers across the country had opened their doors at midnight so gaming enthusiasts — and, apparently, entrepreneurial eBay users — could get their hands on the console immediately after it came out.
EBay said the average price for consoles, including those sold with games and other add-ons, was $660. However, the company said some console packages were selling for as much as $2,500, with bidding and sales prices varying widely.
Hani Durzy, a spokesman for San Jose, Calif.-based eBay Inc., said the company couldn‘t compare the amount of Xbox 360s being sold, and the premium users were willing to pay, to previous videogame console releases. That‘s because the company only recently began using technology to track sales in such a detailed way.
"What you see on eBay is a classic reflection of supply and demand," he said.
The Redmond company has said it is producing Xboxes as fast as it can, and that there aren‘t any production problems. Some retailers have said they expect to be able to restock their shelves weekly between now and the holidays, although most won‘t divulge how many consoles they will get each week for competitive reasons.

My buddy pre-ordered a 360 just because he knew they were going to sell out. His plan was to flip it on eBay, and he did... for a cool $300 profit.

Personally, I believe that most people that buy those packages, are parents desperate to get the system for their kids holidays. I could very well be wrong though.

With all the stores not getting any more 360's in stock, ebay is literally the only place to go. Where I live I was lucky enough to be the last one available to get mine in time on the pre-order list. No more are being shipped here until mid-January.

Cool8742,
Man I wish you and your brother the best. There is A LOT of scaming going on at yahoo auctions. I was ripped off on a set of golf irons, and it took about 2 months to get any money back. I hope you used your credit card. I will stay positive but good luck.
-Will
