and why is the second one only $45?? please HELP

 

lol the 2nd one is only $45 because thats the current bid, it'll go up as more people bid. To be honest, v1's sell on ebay for about retail ($400) so youd be better off just buying it directly from them. If youre still bent on getting a used one you should get one with at least 1.8 software

 

OK,

First Ebay is a bid system. the second one is 45 bucks because there is 4 days left on the auction. These tend to rise rapidly in the final hour of the sale as people try to outbid each other.

From what I have seen with the V1's on Ebay is that they sell for almost as much used as you can buy one for new. And you have to watch out for some of the astronomical shipping charges people try to sneak into the sales.

Also be sure you have a good means of payment before you try to buy an item, Paypal is my preferred method as it works with many different online sites.

Good Luck

 

ok, i do have paypal, are they allll going up to $400!?!?

 

no, I've seen some go for as little as $200 but that isn't common at all. I'd check the sellers feedback percentage and how many items they have sold or bought. It's in the auction on the right side under Meet The Seller, make sure they have good feedback.

 

ps-V1...Great Choice!

 

I have never had a bad experience on E-bay as of yet. Make sure there is plenty of feedback, I think the lowest feed back I have made a purchase on was probably around 97%. Depending on how many people the person has dealed with is pretty good. Keep in mind that maybe 1 in 10 people will be a douche bag buyer, and some people leave negative feedback for no reason because they are e-bay nooblets. Anyway, most of the people on E-bay are legit bro. get yourself a paypal account to proctect yourself also.
