Thanks very much Alkemyst. I've found that he won an auction the same day for the exact same thing.

Cool, unfortunately some people have multiple accounts and you can't always tell. Ebay allows one buying and one selling account if you'd like...but their TOS state they can't be used concurrently to shill bid or in conspiracy.

now waiting for my fanclub to find this post and start their little bleeding hearts about how maybe this guy is really just broke and should be let off the auction and somehow I am just oppressing the poor.

I think it's time to tell the guy to go take out a loan :)

You are just putting yourself in more sh1t because the guy is going to have two Xbox's. The problem that he insisted to start.

Maybe if he has to deal with reselling on of the Xboxes, he'll learn how to use eBay properly.

Amen.

What's worse is that someone else would have gotten it for cheaper had he not bid on more than one and it's likely that he bid on a dozen more before he won the auction for ONE, let alone TWO.
