Tons of people are putting Elites up on ebay, only to realize nobody wants them lol.  I've seen some go for under retail with no reserve and free shipping, and others not getting any bids at all.  http://video-games.search.ebay.com/360-elite_Video-Games_W0QQfromZR40QQsacatZ1249

heres how i see it.  if your dumb enough to buy something off ebay, lets say a game console that just came out that is in short supply, and someone is selling one on ebay for double the price, you cant fault anyone except the person that buys it.  unless ebay passes a rule where you cant mark up the prices of an item beyond a certain point then it wont stop.  i mean yeah the seller posts the item for X amount of dollars.  if someone wants to burn their money in such a manner, instead of waiting a few months to get it at retail then so be it.  it is funny though watching people screw themselves in this sense.  way to miss the kickoff with the normal xbox 360 i guess.

Yeah that is pretty dumb. I dont think its a matter of nobody wanting them as much as they are not that hot an item nor are they hard to find at the moment. (at least in my area they arent)
