Ok, so on THursday I won an auction for an Xbox 360 Platinum. It was $412 shipped (less than I'd pay if i paid retail + sales tax). So I emailed the seller to see when he'd be shipping. He told me Friday that he expected to get his shipment this coming week and ship before the week's end.

So would you complain and ask for a refund or give the seller a little leeway (sp) given the good price? The seller has 98% positive feedback w/ about 300 feedbacks.

I paid with my visa so worst case I can contest the charge w/ CapitalOne.

I dont mind being patient (sp, again) since I have to work 60hrs the next 2 weeks anyway. Just wanted to get the anandtech OT'ers opinions.
 
Be patient..... Give it no more than a week to ship, if he doesnt have it by next friday shipped out then i wouldnt request a refund.
 
give him some time to punch a few walls and smash a few cars before he sends it out.
 
i don't know. i recall a while back that some idiot won an auction on ebay and paid $450 for wat he thought was an xbox360. he didn't read it all the way and it turns out, he won a pic of the xbox 360 and paid $450 for it! so just make sure u reading everything the guy says.
 
Hopefully you get it, it almost sounds too good to be true. He has mostly good feedback, I hope you get it!
 
He said he was "getting them in" so I would assume that it isnt just a picture. He had a bunch up. I may keep looking and if I see a similar price for a person selling one in hand I may go that route and tell him to forget it. Chances are he'd probably love to resell it for more given what I paid.

Would I be in the wrong to ask him to cancel it? GIven the fact that he never said he didnt have it.
 
It's a GREAT deal, but I dont like the fact that he didnt have the item in hand and didnt make that clear. My only concern is the limited avalability of them and the fact the he expects to get about 10 this coming week, but even stores like best buy dont get that many per shipment.
