You're right, the earliest they'll deliver an item dropped off on a Saturday is 8 or 830am on the following Monday (just called).
I worded my listing carefully though. It says that you will receive the item before the official release date--I could still get it to them on Monday, 11/21.

I'm definitely going to wait until I get mine (or at least have shipping confirmation) from every10minutes before I even list mine. Hopefully by then they'll still be willing to pay that much, because that's just insane. I've been watching these auctions on ebay, and about every one goes for at least 600 - 800 (with a few over 1k).

actually, next-day shipping is around that amount. i used the ups website to find out how much it would cost about. (i estimated its weight to be 15 pounds; i dont know how accurate that is)
anyone know how heavy it actually is?
nusqax
02-11-2005 15:09:08
nevermind, i found out that the actual xbox 360 is 7.7 pounds, so the package should be around 9 pounds.
you should have put a disclaimer like, item may not ship before release date if shipping problems arise. nice job though.

So did you get paid yet?
I'm wondering if it will be more profitable to sell one right at (or before if you can) or closer to xmas if there is infact a shortage.

It's a matter of risk versus reward. Sure, there may be a shortage around the holidays, in which case prices would definitely increase. But if there isn't a shortage, prices on eBay will likely compare to those at retail.
At this point (before the system's retail release), it is clear that demand is relatively high (people are willing to pay at least 15-20% over the retail value--more if you're shipping before the release date). I'd rather sell now, when I'm [i582c19ad13]certain[/i582c19ad13] I'll get a very reasonable margin over the retail value, than sell later, when I [i582c19ad13]might[/i582c19ad13] get an even greater margin but might also make less. I'm betting that the shortage, at least in the US, is hype.
BTW, 360s are starting to reappear in traditional retail channels...

did you ever think that maybe the price is actually a drop in the hat for the winning bidder?
it's all relative. to each his own.

Ahh, good catch. The seller should post a response so that people know.
I guess the buyer, after the auction, said to himself, "WTF? I'm paying $1,525 for a $400 xbox??" Still, what a douche for bidding and then not going through with it.

Still worth a try...where else are you going to get such a good return on your money.
You can always buy another 360 down the line

Yeah I know. Thats why I was so bummed. Its fucking retarded eBay lets people make accounts with 0 identification. Look at the 360s that are selling on eBay. 25% are ending with people bidding that created an account today. And I saw the same user "Buy It Now" on like 5 360s. This is retarded and I hate eBay for not protecting its sellers.

My first listing ended with a non-paying bidder too. Didn't seem like that big of a deal until I saw the listing fees for my first auction. Since I listed the item in two categories and opted for various promotional features like boldface and a border, those fees were pretty steep. Even though eBay gave me a credit for the Final Value Fee, I was pretty pissed that I had to pay for what amounted to a worthless listing.
