Wow, just reading some of the description that is shown, he's not even trying to be sneaky. He explicitly says: "You are getting an empty box so do not ask"

It's also not even the official Xbox 360 box, it's a home made box with the words Xbox on it. That's hilarious. $611 well spent. Nice bid. :)

Doing a quick search on ebay, there are quite a few people selling just the box. They do list all the specs and such but they also state in a paragraph that you are only getting the box. And they are all selling for over $600. Incredible that people don't read the description.

Yeah... I found them too

You sir are a sucker!

At least one of them came with "mystery prizes" inside.

The "winning" bidder seems to have a history of not reading item descriptions. You can sort of see where this is going...
