Reminds me of the “Xbox box” problem experienced on eBay when trying to buy the Xbox 360. People were getting away with it because the listing was explicit that this was just the box that the console came in.
- ajsnigrutin 3y agoI saw at least one example of some youtuber doing this with ps5 to fsck with automated scalpers on ebay. I forgot the exact details, but if the retail price was $399 (or whatever), he put an ebay ad for "Literally just a piece of paper with an image of a PS5 playstation 5 new box printed on" (so no human buyer would get confused), set the price to $450 or something like that, and sold probably 10 of those.

Not sure if it's better but more direct at least.
