    Hmmm the seller has large quantities of each item available. I would guess that he/she is dropshipping perhaps?

    Looks a bit dodgy as the games retail for £40 so why sell them for £9.99 when you could easily make more money on them.

    Personally I would stay clear

    dropshipping? he has got a fair amount of feedback though
    The word is BOUGHT, not BROUGHT.
    It's LOSE, NOT LOOSE.
    You ask for ADVICE not ADVISE.

    Yeah he/she has got 150 feedback rating but none of his feedback is from selling the new X Box games. He's sold a number of DVDs for £1.00 and the buyers seem pretty happy judging by their feedback but none are for the games.

    He/She had 25 of each of the games for sale that is why I thought dropshipping.

    Is it just me or was he/she definately selling X Box 360 games?? The items all appear to have been ended.

    On Fight Night Round 3 -Xbox 360 Game it says ended but doesn't give the buyers user ID like it normally does. All the x box 360 games have gone as well...

    There must have been something not quite right about those items for sure.

    Well a good result for once!

    I bought several games off this member, and paid for one that I knew is in the shops (i.e. not a pre order)

    1 week 2 days later the game has turned up brand new and factory sealed with the PAL region coding :D

    He has also let me know some of the games I won are still not out and has given me new release dates for them, and has agreed to let me pay for them when he has them! :)

    This XBox 360 is getting cheaper than I thought it would be to run...
