Deal too good to be true?

[Schadenfreude]

Now, the thing is, It's local - I can go pick it up, plus I have the guy's phone number. In fact, I was just trading emails with him back and forth = what do you think?

 

[Stumps]

if its local check it out, if any good purchase, if not..see ya

 

[Corporate Thug]

sounds too good

 

[amol]

i would pay about $90 for that, so $60 sounds too good

I dunno - the location he gave me wasn't in the slums - in fact, it's pretty smack dab in the middle of downtown Chicago . . ..

Other than getting mugged for $60, what's the worst thing that could happen if this is a scam?

I think it's a scam - I asked when he would be available and he's trying to wriggle out of it . . . and now he stopped replying . . ..

 

[YOyoYOhowsDAjello]

[Alex]

do it before he changes his mind!

if its a local place ask to try the xbox out beforehand to make sure its ok..

I wonder, if you report your xbox as stolen to Microsoft and you were an Xbox Live subscriber, would MS be able to help you catch the person if they used your stolen xbox to play on Live?

They'd COULD - whether or not they would is a different debate.
