Please before you bid on that over inflated priced PS3 have a moment to check the High Street stores, their websites and places like amazon - you'll find they will have them in stock and at the regular price of £425.

Sellers are quite desperate to offload their PS3's now they know they can't make a profit of you so look out for 'shill bidding' With the new ebay bidding history page you can see a bidders 'relationship' to the seller by how many times they have bidded on a sellers inventory.  While browsing for 5 minutes today I have noticed at least 5 definite counts of shill bidding.  Beware!
