    $46 Xbox One X on Ebay

    Bought one from a guy selling a few of them on separate listings as well as Xbox One S bundle

    Seller has 1713 100% positive review and an account going back to 2002. HOWEVER if you look at his reviews, like half of them come from people whose accounts are no longer active, yet many have numerous sales.


    Did I get ripped off? Feels weird...

    Any chance it's legit?

    Nah he was selling a few things for the same price of $46.46 or $60 Canadian, with multiple listings of each.

    Even said in item info that it sells for $500 normally and it's steal.

    Look at the link, he's literally still selling things right now.

    I hope you did get a steal of a deal and that it doesn't turn out like the guy who bought a cheap iPhone 7 off ebay and it was an iPhone 3 and an iPhone 4 and a Fusion card from YuGiOh. Unless that pic was just a joke. Either way hope you got a good buy OP.

    Looking at his other auctions, I would guess there was a typo when listing the item. It seems the seller has a tendency to cancel some orders, so I would expect to see your order canceled.

    Someone buy one and get into this with me so I'm not alone xD

    He's still got one up

    It's risky but since it's only 50 if you can afford to risk that 50 on something that might not work out it's not an insane gamble.

    I'm not saying you definitely got ripped off, but yeah you got ripped off.

    If it is too good to be true then it likely is too good to be true.

    Hope you get your money back OP.

    And according to his seller profile, he just added two more.

    Same price point.

    I know, it's weird right? But look how credible his profile is.

    Shit, even Gamestop would probably give you at least $60

    His only recent transactions in the last year were as a buyer. He hasn't sold anything in over a year.


    I can think of many reasons why this would be done, but it sounds like a quick hit and run type scam and they're ready to have that profile tainted/abandoned/banned.

    The biggest reason to sell them online is that people can't inspect what they're buying.

    It's a scam.

    They're brand new sealed supposedly.

    Another suspicious thing is they ship from Laurier, Canada, which doesn't actually exist according to google. However Laurier was a Prime Minister of Canada for a while a 100 years ago...

    On his profile is also says he's based out of USA...

    I got one. Let's see what happens.. Either end up with a cheap xbox one x or will just be out $50 for a week.

    As has already been stated it's likely a scam on a hacked account. Nothing will ever get shipped, orders will get cancelled and we'll get our money back.
