I have gotten many PC games and other stuff from Ebay and they have all turned out well. I want to get a PS3 (since the HD / BR war is over). Has anyone bought a PS3 from Ebay before? I have seen many good deals - 60gb, multiple games and BR movies. I think I could get it for around $350 + games & movies. I just don't want to end up with a lemon though.

Advice?

Make 100% sure aren't just buying a box. Get it in writing. Lots of low life scammers out there [thumbdown] Its disgusting that someone even has to warn about this...

Use a recognised active trader.

Hasn't eBay cracked down on this though? I thought that misleading auctions were against their ToS.

I'm surprised the "mystery auctions" scam hasn't been shut down. I don't care how many times people say "this isn't a lottery or raffle". A turd by any other name is still a turd. I can say my Camaro isn't a Chevy, but it doesn't make it true.

There are no gaurentees...but I cross reference the feedback ratings (make sure they didn't create 10 accounts to make themselves look legit), read all the print.

I bought my 20GB PS3 off ebay, and it was an excellent experience. Everything perfectly as described and double boxed, etc.

Anyhow after over 120 ebay transactions, not one of mine has gone bad, and I have a 100% rating. I don't know, I think that the vast majority of things that are not legit can be caught by being careful. Very rarely will someone with a high rating from legit buyers/sellers jack anyone.
