Are the Xbox 360 games on ebay really worth it?

Question

Like do they work. Is it better buying them at a store new for more money?

Answer 1

Buying things from ebay always has a risk of somebody on the other end trying to s***w you over by not giving you what you bought or selling something that doesn't work properly. But they have the feedback, and if somebody's sold many items and has a feedback of over 90%, they're generally safe to buy from.

Also watch out for the shipping cost. Sellers can lower the bidding price to under a dollar, but they usually add a shipping cost that's pretty high up.

Edit: and usually people will set a price low (as low as one cent) to attract attention and get buyers, but by the time the auctions almost over, it'll probably be close to its retail price.

Buy it Now is a hand feature where you don't have to bid, but you can just buy it for a set price. (Which is sometimes pretty low, but is often fairly close to the retail price.

So you can get some great deals on ebay if you don't mind sitting there on a cheap bid with under 10 minutes left outbidding all the others trying to get the last second bid.
