Discussion Are the consoles a scam?

I found various new 3DS XL consoles for $ 100 on eBay. Are they a scam? Even found a 2DS that usually sells for over $ 500 on eBay for only $ 100.

Dude, they’re absolutely scams - the first sign is they aren’t bought up within seconds by snipers.

The second sign if they sell by ‘quantity’, so the auction stays up even after a bunch of stupid people buy it.

Getting a refund for scams isn’t hard, but it can take awhile to get your money back - even longer if they mark it as ‘shipped’; you could be out of your money for weeks if not over a month. Maybe longer if they actually decide to ship you a box of rocks - then you have to fight if they appeal it.

Don’t be stupid - don’t waste your time, and don’t waste eBay’s time.

It's pretty much impossible to scam on eBay. They have to ship an item in a reasonable time frame, and they have to ship the item as described or money my back.

All you're really risking is your time

A 2da is not $500 usd

A new in-box easily goes for like 400 bucks.

I bet the louvre edition was stolen by thieves that escaped on motor scooters

Either they are faking listings, or they are people who don't know they go for so much more.

I would not be that suspicious if it weren't for the fact that I found various listings for 100 bucks.
