Ordering PS3 from ebay.com

[piyushjeswani]

Hello Guys,

I found a very good deal on Ebay.com for PS3 Slim 120Gb Black.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110687253275

My question however is, Is it fine to order from ebay.com? Since the seller is from Yemen, will it be difficult to get it through the Customs?

I asked the seller a question about shipping to India and this is what he had to say:

This item is free shipping to all countries , it take 7-30 days to arrive to India, I can send you invoice with item with $90 to void customs.

Please let me know your views on this.

Thanking you

Not a good idea. The customs might screw up the whole deal.

Is this worth all the hassles? Get it from letsbuy.com and use some coupons to get it cheaper. You wouldn't definitely want to go through all the hassles if the console is found to be defective later.

^^That is a good point. Just thought it would be good to save some money as the seller is offering free shipping.

here is one in letsbuy : Buy Sony PS3 160GB (Black) at Best Price in India - Also find Specifications, Photos, Features & Reviews
wait for some coupons, like the reliance 15% one

Its not worth takin the RISK .
U can source for Good Deals . Be Patience, the Customs will/might play a handy game which no one would prefer .

Do that, using a 15% off coupon u can get a 160 Gb for 16.8k

Well, he just has 71 feedbacks and isn't even from USA/Canada. There is a 30-50% chance of that thing being fake. Rest, is your wish?

And of course, normally most too good to be sounding deals on ebay are fake, at least more than 50% of them!

Yemen? Just forget it right then and there. Buy your PS3 from any other Indian site and avoid the headache of customs and shipping.

I have heard of bitfang.com a good website for games and gaming accessories.

You can try this website for online shopping.

Any more nay saying is going to be a wastage of a perfect space for a post.. which i just did.

Steer clear. Get one from pre owned category if you can.. there are gaming forums which ll help u hit the jackpot.
