We've blogged a lot about the incredible marking up of prices for Xbox 360s on eBay. Since launch, we have all seen some pretty ridiculous auctions: from five digit biddings that nobody could take seriously to generously hiked up buy-it-now purchases. Not long ago some official numbers were finally released. Meg Whitman of eBay reported that 40,000 units have been sold on the auction site.That's 10% of all 360s sold in the States! Of course, that is if current estimates are correct. I think it's safe to say that this proves whenever initial stock is low, we can expect to see high numbers for both price and availability of reselling. Economics at its best, gamers.
