Hello peps , having a look on ebay & i see some ps3 consoles are quite expensive. I mean theres one on it now & the bidding is over 1000GBP & its not listing as anything special,it just says its new & it doesnt even have any games. Whats the secret with some of these consoles on flebay,are they modded in some way or something? The same console is going for about £300quid yet people still bid on these other ones.

Puzzled

cheers

As far as i'm aware the PS3 hasn't got limited availability.
Check the sellers account age and feedback, if its new and zero feedback then someones scamming someone. Probably fake bidders to.

I looked at that auction and somethings just not right with it.
The sellers last two sales where bought by the same person in Hungry and is no longer a registered member.
Also look at the bidding. Someone has pushed up the price. Somethings up there!

Sure isn't a PS3 in that box going to Hungry!
