    Hi all

    good news! I received a brand new used 80gb PS3! There was a ebay receipt in there which had Item number: 400060316869, and total costs £253! Strange! It looks like the seller brought it from another ebay user and had it sent to me.
    I'm happy!:T

    Good for you confused how he can be making any money though

    Look beyond the obvious.

    Maybe they are not selling on eBay for profit.... ;)

    It "could" be money laundering...
    Use ill-gotten gains to buy a product, then resell it and the new earnings become legitimate.

    Of course, it could just be very bad business acumen.

    ... or it could be the seller is the NARU'd buyer ... perhaps having paid by rubber cheque or similar ;)
