Hi,
I was wondering if anybody knows some information that I am after. I'm thinking about selling xbox 360's and nintendo DS lite. I was curious as to what is a good price to buy these? I'm not asking for suppliers, just prices.

Also, what is the bare minimum price that somebody can sell them without it being a fake? Also, please state the currency.

The reason I'm asking this is because I just received this offer below, and was wondering whether its good price, or if the price is too good to be true.

the price:

xbox 360:$295/pc

(min order one sample)the price include shipping to your door,if you order more we can give you discount

They assured me that the xbox is genuine from microsoft and the games are authentic. They have a goldkey membership on tradekey, is that usually a good indication of authentic sellers?

I have also been offered Nintendo DS Lite (from a different seller) for $79 for 5 units. This doesnt sound right because thats over half the retail price I'm pretty sure

hi mate

whats the name of the site mate

cheers

[aussiebares]

it's a scam, there is no way you can get all that for that price. And as for them saying it's authentic, there copy's. I myself can get these products from a reputable distributor, but not at those prices, scam mate, stay away.

Exactly what I thought. I got all these sellers from tradekey.com. Its amazing that I've had 3 sellers try and sell me nintendo DS lite for sub $100 including shipping. You would think if you are trying to scam sombody you would atleast you reasonable prices.

I was curious as to what one of them said to me though. He said that I could pay by Western Union, but he can't receive the money unless he knows the senders name. So he said to pay with a friends account, and when I receive the goods I then tell him the sender name and he can get paid. Does this actually work?

[aussiebares]

no that's part of the scam. You send the money to a third party which they work together, and he keeps the money and if your lucky they will send you some out of date product that's totally useless, or you don't recieve anything at all. Rather the latter one more likely. Anyway don't touch it, especially when they ask to be paid by western union. Here's a prime example of a scam website, have a look at these prices on there products, but don't buy it's a scam, ** Link Removed: Only Available to Registered Members**

how much are you looking to spend on nintendo DS?

[aushy]

But the way he told me did not involve a third party though. He said to use one of my friends Western Union account to send him the money. And he cannot receive that money until I tell him the senders name. Sounded like a little bit TOO much protection for the buyer there. So I said to him

"what happens if i receive the items, and then tell WU that i never got them? By using this method, you stand to lose a lot of money because you can potentially be scammed. No smart seller would allow this method unless in fact it wasn't as safe and foolproof for me as you make it out of be."

At that point he accused ME of being a scammer, yet was still eager to do business with me, which i found very funny.

But don't worry, there was no way that I was going to buy it anyway. Now back to my original questions...

Ok that's a new one. So you're supposed to recieve the goods and then give him the senders name? Or do you give it to him before he sends the goods? If he gets the money before sending the goods it's no different to the regular WU scams.

So I said to him "what happens if i receive the items, and then tell WU that i never got them?

By the way (you probably know this already but just in case) telling WU that you didn't get your items isn't going to do anything.

why would you pay 180.00 for nintendo ds lite when you can buy off the shelf at walmart in colors for 129.88

Nintendo DS Lite Cobalt Blue
4.8 out of 5 stars
$129.88
Available in Walmart Stores
Nintendo DS Lite Cobalt Blue

[aussiebares]

because he is in australia, and walmart is in america. We don't have the the masses of people here as you do over there. About 25 to 30 mil here to 200 mil there, can't compete with those kind of masses.

Yes he said to me that after I received the goods THEN i would send him the senders name.

By the way (you probably know this already but just in case) telling WU that you didn't get your items isn't going to do anything.

Yes thats what I was thinking. So then what would happen if I didn't give him the sender name? WU sends the money back to me? WU keeps it? WU sends it to the seller anyway? The latter must be the only way that this scam can work.

[aussiebares]

wu can't release any money until you give the right information over to them for release, but if they are going to send you the product to look at first and then you pay, i can't see how that is an advantage to them. I have used this method before and they won't send any product unless you tell them your name. And lucky me i reciceved my goods and they were as discibed by the seller. Only one item was damaged and when i reported it to him he was happy to supply me with an extra item in my next order for the damaged one.

[Polski]

If your in Australia you can buy a nintendo DS from Big W for around $186 (correct me if im wrong) Hence Ebay would have prices that are abit lower than this standard ..... so if you are planning to sell the item on ebay you have to take into account shipping costs and fees...
Ideally you should look for a supplier that can sell them to you for at least $155 shipping included.

That said, if you look at the competition in Ebay you would see most sellers giving bonuses to add value to the DS(free games, case ect.) - the average price falls within the $190 mark... If you want my 2 cents, I think it would be tough competing, and even if you did your returns would be minimal, unless ofcourse u find a great supplier.
Hope that helps
Regards.
