Rock Band no longer a Ebay cash cow

[SlowGears]

I was farting around on Ebay checking out how much RB is going for. Seems that people are no longer will to pay 200 plus bucks for it. I have noticed a lot of them got for below Retail. Here is a link of just one of a ton that I found. so if you don't have it now would be the time to get it off Ebay that is if you can find some one that offers a decent shipping price.

20 dollars less than retail..that sucks,.,.

Ignore the $50 shipping, it was cheaper.

NOt realy it is good for the person that get's the deal. Sucks for the person selling thou. To fork over 169.99 plus tax to not make your money back, but that is the risk that you take selling on ebay. Still some folks tring to get over 200.00 for it, those listing have no bids on them.

THat is why I added if you can find one with a decent shipping price. 50 is way to much alot of folks are shipping it for 30. Also considering the fact that just a week or so ago people where paying over 200.00 plus another 30 to 50 for shipping.I got lucky when i got mine it was miss listed I paided 150.00 shiped.

Excellent. I am happy to hear about people trying to take advantage of others on eBay losing money.

The PS2 bundle is still getting a premium. Probably because the game isn't released yet. But $300 for a $170 game being released in a couple of weeks is ridiculous.

Edit: Someone is selling their PREORDER (i.e. they haven't even gotten the game yet) and people are willing to pay at least $350.

I don't know why people would be buying it off of Ebay...Just go to wal-Mart...There are so so so many of them at all the wal-Marts were I live

Good point I havn't check my local Wal Fart but when i had the money to buy it they where sold out. I bet a lot of folks that are buying off ebay are either to lazy to go the store or there sold out where they live.

It's unlikely, but also possible these "below retail" bundles are some of the ones that were stolen from that truck. Buyer beware and all that, I doubt they'd be in that great of shape :P.

Or it's likely that word is spreading how badly designed and poorly made the RB hardware is and people are leery.

I don't know about you all, but I see Rock Band everywhere around here (West Virginia). I went up to Wal Mart today, they had 17 360 bundles. People aren't gonna be willing to pay $200 to a person they don't know when they can go to Wal Mart and get it cheaper.
