BUYING used doa XBOX

[WigglestheHoly]

I was wondering if anyone knew if I bought an xbox off of ebay that has not been opened (case) still has the waranty seal and say has the 3 blinking lights or it won't read disks can I send it in under warranty to microsoft and have it fixed?:shakehand

It should be fine the warranty goes from the serial #. As long as it's never been opened up or damaged due to abuse.

You shouldn't treat your 360 like you treat those Tijuana prostitutes Joel.

STFU they weren't Tijuana Prostitutes they were from El Salvador.

[Kona Palangi]

Ah now this feels like home. I do believe I will like this forum. But back to the question and answer at hand, SWEET cause i can pick up a red blinking lights for 60 bucks send it in and have an xbox 360 and halo 3 by the end of the month. :top:
would it matter if they registered it already?

[hollywood21639]

I don't think so because gamestop and EB sell used systems.

[WigglestheHoly]

so i wonder why others aren't doing this I mean they are covered till 2009 why aren't they just waiting two weeks getting it back and being done with it?

[Kona Palangi]

They are doing it.

Just beware buying off ebay..............check all feedback and be sure of what you are buying.

Yes becareful with e-bay had memeber on here just recently got ripped off, bought a xbox live 12 moth subscription card off e-bay and was only a 1 month membership.

[WigglestheHoly]

ya i'm a pretty knowledge able e-bay'er. I haven't owned a 360 yet so i'm trying to get one for cheap. does anyone know where I can get one for cheap cheap cheap other than this method?

[hollywood21639]

that's the easiest method but just check the feedback and all that.

[WigglestheHoly]

Ya i'm requiring a picture of the seal

[Kona Palangi]

Yeah and don't go for that 100% feedback with only 20 transactions ****. Look for a high 90's with at least 500 feedbacks. This will pretty much ensure, or at the very least reduce the chance of being bamboozled.

[WigglestheHoly]

I'm reading all the fine print and looking at all the deals they have made.

i heard about that. but with things such as gift cards or xbox live cards thats really hard to be sure about what ur getting unless you call the number to check the balance and what not. i've avoided doing business with cards as those are easy to get scammed on

Um, make that 2 members. I was speaking with Whittal last night, whom I went through some things with him and he got jipped on the code as well. Same deal. He called MS and they confirmed it was a dummy code. When you put in a code on a new profile and it say doesn't work, it automatically offers you the 1 month free, so peole see that and assume that it all worked. The easiest way to check is to view your membership and simply check the expiry date. In Whittals case, it was next month, so much for a 13 month code!

Now he has to liase with the Ebay seller to rectify this. Hence I cannot stress enough to really be sure about these codes. I mean at the end of the day, why not just buy it at a store?

In terms of selling 360s on ebay, if they say its brand new and boxed, and you get it, and its not as described, you can lodge a dispute and seek refund, just be sure to pay via paypal.

Also, I just sold my premium unit today, and I made sure I made the auction descriptive by telling people the serial number and that its never been barred, or opened, so theres no confusion. Its all straight up honesty which is whats important. Beware of people that just say, xbox 360, as it, working, opened and used once or twice! Please!

I got so many bidders cause I told everyone it was a great console, no issues and simply I just upgraded to elite. People were happy. Thats why it sold for a healthy $455 AUD, or at 85c exchange rate, around $387 US dollars.
