The gift that keeps on giving!
Anybody want to buy an XBOX 360 for Christmas? Here's one that will only cost you a cool one million dollars.
Yes, apparently this is an interesting fundraising incentive. The eBay seller promises that 95% of the million dollar price will go to children's fundraiser Marine Toys for Tots. That's $950,000 for charity this Christmas - a great gift.
However, keeping in mind Paypal and eBay fees, the seller protests that he's only taking home "one half of one percent" of the total sale. In other words, that's a cool $5,000 - just for selling an Xbox on eBay!
Well, cheers to him if somebody goes for it. Currently it's been online for 5 days, and there have been no million-dollar takers.
