XBOX 360 Premium Game System BOX ONLY
Be among the first to own this season's #1 Holiday gift box!


This is the PREMIUM BUNDLE BOX only. It would include bonus accessories, if it were the actual PREMIUM XBOX 360! DOES NOT Come with 20GB Hard Drive, Console, HD Cables, Wireless Controller, Headset! In other words for those of you who do not understand, YES YOU ARE GETTING AN EMPTY BOX SO DO NOT ASK! Great for gags! DO NOT bid if you don't intend to buy! No excuses, I will not retract bids for you! You will be reported to eBay if you backout after winning the auction. I Cannot be more clear! This is not even a factory made xbox 360 box. I made it myself, just a few minutes ago. It does not contain an Xbox 360 console, just the Xbox 360 home-made box. this box is great hand made by me says XBOX right on it It doesn't look anything like the picture I included in the auction. It looks much better, in my opinion.
Will be shipped next business day (AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!)

You will receive your shipment 7-10 days after the official XBOX 360 release date of November 22. All winning bidder/buyer payments must be received within 24 hours - no exceptions. All sales are final.
* in the this auction you are only getting a XBOX 360 homemade box not even the real box only made by me

Oh My Goodness!

(BTW Hi Lucille!!!)

I tell people that some folks will buy anything as long as it's on E-Bay, and I haven't been wrong yet. (Ghosts in jars, etc.) Do folks just not pay attention or what? Heck you could buy the full premium set-up for $399 or so plus tax so even if it did come with the box, he/she still paid way too much for it.

Maybe the buyer knew that it was just the box but was buying it for his/her kids whom are going to have more fun with the box something comes in anyway.

My Granddaughter has the coolest fort...it's a refrigerator box I got behind the local appliance store...it didn't cost me a dime! Anybody who pays $600 for a box has some serious issues!

I'm sure it's a case that the individual probably didn't read the item description...and there's absolutely nothing they can do about it.

**still shaking head**

You know, it's the buyer's fault for not actually READING the ad......but jeez, ya gotta know this was what the seller was counting on in the first place. UGH.

People never cease amazing me.
