Is it safe to buy playstation 3 from eBay?
John H asked:
I found a person selling a playstation 3 for $0.99.
This person lives in the same town that i do, so that means that i could meet him to see if it works.
i also found one that is selling for $140.
Which one should i buy?

the .99 cent is probably **** but if he lives in the same town go check it out the 140 might be real but it could have some serious issues so you have to make a deal that if it doesnt work you get your money back

When does the 0.99 cent playstation bidding end? Most likely it will end in a week or so and the price will go up TREMENDOUSLY. Otherwise, it may have a large shipping amount on it. $140 for a ps3 sounds a little sketchy. I would look into it. You don’t want to get scammed. Also, never buy anything that ships from Hong Kong off ebay. It’s likely to be a fake.

You can view a seller’s rating on Ebay, and see comments left by other people who bought from them- so if you see something like “they never shipped my item,” beware 
As for a PS3 selling for $0.99… it must be early in the auction, so as people bid the price will go way up. And If that’s the final price, I wouldn’t trust it- nobody ever sells a PS3 for $0.99 (unless it’s made of cardboard…)
Go for the $140!

It’s safe depending on the seller’s feedbacks
Go for $0.99

Hey, John
This is a fantastic gaming system, this bad boy doesn’t just play games, it also has a built in Blu-Ray player. Other gaming consoles can’t even come close to this feature.
One of the best stores to find a PS3 is Amazon. They have pretty much everything you would ever want to buy including an immense video game collection. Another good thing is that they offer free shipping. You do have to be extra careful because there are stores signed on with Amazon and it is easy to accidentally buy from them and you won’t get the free shipping.
EBay is absolutely the hands down best place to get your Playstation 3 console. You can find new and used models there for super cheap.
It is very surprising that more people don’t buy their gaming gear from eBay. It’s very easy to use and sign up and it can save you a lot. Remember, the more you save when you buy a console the more games you’ll be able to get.
It is really safe to buy on eBay as well. The sellers have feedback that lets you know if there were any problems with them in the past. There is also a certain amount of protection when you buy Playstation 3. That is comforting to know with a large purchase like this one.
Make sure you surf through the different listings in the eBay games section. You’ll find a lot of good deals there and you need to find the one that is right for you. You will notice that the prices are a lot less than you’d pay in the store. It is amazing how many good deals there are!
If you’re going to purchase Playstation 3 it’s a good idea to figure out where you’re going to buy. Don’t waste your time with stores that overcharge you, because shopping online is what really works. eBay is your best bet overall.
I hope that $.99 is a miss post otherwise I wouldn’t trust it; maybe it was suppose to be $99. Even still that is pretty low for a PS3, but seems more logical than 99 cents. Also, do not under and circumstances meet this person anywhere. Tell him/her to send you some recent and clear pictures of the console and ask them about their return policy. Also, checkout link below.
