Buying a New XBox Series X from eBay, is it a good idea?

I think they maybe buying cheap gift cards online then buying the console from microsoft, they won't be making much profit though

Prob won’t get the warranty unless a original purchase receipt is included. The warranty irregardless may show on your Microsoft account device list once Xbox is set up, but Xbox won’t honour the warranty without a purchase receipt

I 'preordered' my Series S from a small business and with one of the ebay 20% off and making an offer I got it for about £165, this was early last year when the best deal was still about £225. I had to wait almost a month for it, once I signed in with my microsoft account it appeared and showed remaining warranty etc. (about 10 months presumable due to the supply chain).

Have you asked these questions to the sellers? Are they private individuals or traders etc

Xbox series X is out of stock on amazon

It's in stock for the console only at £479.99? And the bundles are the same price and cheaper than the new RRP

I bought loads of vouchers online then bought direct from Microsoft for £370

Did you get your xbox

If you haven't got one yet you should definitely use those bing /reward points to purchase microsoft gift cards and redeem them towards your xbox in conjunction with some microsoft gift cards from cdkeys. It will take a huge chunk of money from the total value.

You could always buy amazon gift cards with those points too but they are not worth as much compared to microsoft gift cards.

300,000 points is around £250/£275 in microsoft gift cards more or less off the top of my head.


And if you have got yourself an xbox, I hope you're enjoying it (edited)
