The Official "PS3 Ebay Scalpers Wall of Shame"

scott_hall5.jpg


That's a decent CAW of Hall for the PS2 version of SvR07 from caws.ws

I wonder, though, and this may be a silly/basic question to some, if the formulas for CAW in PS2 are identical to those for 360? If I folow the instructions for that Hall (made on PS2) on 360, will the results be identical?
 
[quote name='panasonic']i didn't catch the scam? :lol:[/QUOTE]

In the event you're not being sarcastic, it's a $400 BIN with $600 shipping, making it a total $1000 purchase. I'm surprised it took this long for that particular trend to start happening.

In the event you are being sarcastic, then here's the explanation for the eight people that didn't catch the scam.
 
[quote name='io']Wow, people are still trying to dump them despite the much higher apparent availability in stores (not that I've seen one beyond the $1189 Fry's bundle that doesn't seem to be selling all that well):

I see over 40,000 PS3's up for auction currently (and it is early on the 23rd - too late for any Christmas deliveries).

Here are some recently hosed sellers:

60 GB for $600, with free shipping (d'oh, why didn't he just return it if he was going to start his auction at $600?):

20 GB for $500, $27 shipping:

Canadian hoser getting hosed (60GB for $570):

Hosed 2-day camper (20GB for $423 + unspecified shipping, double d'oh!):
http://cgi.ebay.com/Sony-PlayStation-3-Game-console_W0QQitemZ110069264285QQihZ001QQcategoryZ62054QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

To be fair, it seems a few people are still able to get (somewhat) lucky:

$1200 for 60GB with 2 games + extra controller, free for LOCAL PICKUP (be careful dude):

$866 with free overnight shipping:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Sony-PlayStation-3-Game-console_W0QQitemZ180066076007QQihZ008QQcategoryZ147177QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

A WTF? auction, $1000 for a 20GB with NO extras from a brand new zero-feedback seller:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Sony-PlayStation-3-Game-console_W0QQitemZ300061279907QQihZ020QQcategoryZ62054QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

And another much like that one, something wierd is going on:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Sony-PlayStation-3-Game-console_W0QQitemZ270070223033QQihZ017QQcategoryZ62054QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Oh wait, and here's one where the buyer didn't read the fine print. Take this as a lesson in eBay newbieness - see if you can spot the flaw. It will be interesting to see if this goes through in the end:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Sony-Playstation-3-Premium-60gb-Console-In-Hand-Now_W0QQitemZ270071863885QQihZ017QQcategoryZ62054QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

But MANY more auctions go completely unsold at anywhere from $500 on up (which makes anyone who bids one up to $1000 and is serious a complete idiot). There are 3 or 4 unsold (ie, no bids at all or reserve not met) for every one sold.

Sorry, no goofball people pictures - I've only seen one with a person in it over 4-5 pages of completed listings. It seems that particular "virus" has run its course.[/quote]

Because that thread has dropped off the first few pages and is unofficially dead. I thought people who were laughing at PS3 sellers would appreciate it more here. Hey, I included one with a picture. And way to quote MY ENTIRE fucking post, thus doubling the space it takes up, to say it shouldn't be there :roll:.

[quote name='jollydwarf']No way that Jade Raymond-lookalike chick camped for all those. She probably posed for one picture or took a two-hour shift for her boyfriend once, so points for a little foresight, I guess.

Other than that, I'm calling "bullshit" on the "mission trip". Maybe those girls are med students, maybe they just borrowed the coats, but I just don't believe these people, and using third-world poverty to drive up your bids is about as despicable as it gets. If I'm wrong and it's 'legit', it's still pathetic to be banking on a PS3 to make your trip possible.

EDIT: "Jade" can't even add. I count nine PS3 boxes.[/QUOTE]

I thought she looked more like the Page 73 girl of The Toilet fame.

Not only are they completely crazy but look at the almost $10k they want for a Cactus Canyon and the almost $7.5k they want on a Medival... Only one photo of the pin sitting outside of their garage, no closeups of condition or even of the thing plugged in so you can see if the display lights up well.
Worst ebayers ever.

This is the only pussy(cat) I want to see on Ebay with a PS3[/QUOTE]

Hah, I got that beat. Here's a picture I took the night I got home with my EB preorder. While I was cleaning up the entertainment center and getting ready to unpack it I had the little one strike this pose:



Yeah, yeah, it's not an eBay picture, but were I to have sold my Wii I could have used it, so that sort of counts ;).
 
I wish I took a picture of the flyer I found taped to the front of our store (TRU) window today.

Someone made a full color print out with phone number tabs (tear away), offering a PS3 (60GB) with a controller and a copy of Genji for $1,000.

We found one pasted on our front door in the morning and tore it off. Later on, another copy of the same one appeared.
 
according to all available information, not many. But the hefty gal with the black bra can stop by any day.

I've seen several ads in the classified section of our newspaper of people still trying to get $1000 or even $1500 for a PS3. I stopped by the post office to drop a few things in the slot today and I even saw a PS3 flyer tacked to the bulletin board there. It said it was dated 12/20/06 and the person was selling a PS3 60GB for $800 OBO.

I also drove by Target this morning and saw a sign in the grass along the main roadway from someone selling a Tickle Me Elmo TMX for $75...

Same thing around my town too. Lots of signs/flyers advertising Wii's downtown.

Just curious, is the kind of advertising as I mentioned in my OP illegal? I was going to call the number while at work and ask the seller politely, to stop posting his "$1000 PS3 deal" on our property. My manager talked me out of it, but in the end said it was ok if I prank called him a little bit :)

I can understand people posting things like this on bulletin boards at post offices (as you mentioned) and colleges, but can someone get in trouble for posting it on say the front door of a corporate store such as TRU, Target, Best Buy and so on?

Exactly. Which makes me wonder if I am going to find McDonald wrappers or condoms inside my PS3 box. Some of these people have literally raped the PS3 box to try and sell. Now, if it came with a hot girls thong...I'd be alright.

Please CAGer's practice safe PS3 purchasing when out shopping after Christmas. You don't want to end up with some sort of STD from your "pre-owned, sexually violated, and returned" PS3 system from the B&M stores. :lol:

Also you might end up with special "bonus" items besides Talladega Nights inside that box! ;)

Anyone else agree that anyone trying to bundle Gundam with a PS3 should be considered a douchebag? I'd pay people to take that game.
I would also like to mention that we can't forget the Cragislisters as well. Not too many pics, but here's one I thought was entertaining and kinda left me dumbfounded.

"Three Playstation 3 systems all 60GB - Brand New, never opened.
Includes 3 extra controllers for $2,800 OBO.
Includes receipts from Walmart.

Call 949-233-****"

http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/ele/253393969.html

Okay, let's break this down.
1. I doubt anyone wants (or has the cash) to buy three PS3s.
2. When all is said and done, you're basically paying close to $900 for three "extra" controllers.

The only person more idiotic than the person who listed this would be the person who bought it.:drool:

I guess it cant be all that idiotic if some one bought it.
 
It's on craigslist, and I strongly doubt that anyone has even considered purchasing the damn bundle. Who needs three PS3s anyways?

It's not a matter of being lazy you jackass, it is a matter of posting something where people might appreciate it more :lol:. After all, the "wall of shame" can include horribly performing auctions where the sellers lost money even if they don't embarass themselves with their own pictures! The "Scalping Thread" was for CAG's selling their PS3's (which I think, or hope, anyway, has come to an end) - so it would have been just as off-topic there.

Also, my point was that despite you thinking my post was so horribly off-topic you quoted the ENTIRE thing thus recreating it's alleged offtopicness again - not that you are "taking all the space from this site". Jeeeezzz...

Nice pictures in your update though ;). I can't believe people are still selling them, let alone still posting pictures. When I looked through auctions a few days ago there weren't any pictures with people on the first several pages of ebay listings.

As a FYI, this thread was originally called "Pictures of Actual People selling their ps3 on ebay". I can always edit the title and put this again as it was when I originally created this thread.

I dont mind if you put info concerning people getting screwed on ebay, but I hate it when I see people just talking about this and we go off topic and the original purpose of the thread is lost.

Holy crap, Tex up there has more typos in his auction than you can shake a spell checker at. I can't even figure out how many ipods and PS3's he's selling.
 
I love the little whores selling PS3's...this is STILL a great thread. I think we need a general EBAY thread of people whoring products (not just PS3's).....nice :)
 
I think this thread can live for a little while longer. The people still trying to make crazy money on a PS3 after Christmas are much more pathetic and laugh worthy than any of the earlier sellers.
