    emm, where to start.

    First, I'll snip your ad because you have a stack of games on the hard drive, without including the actual games themselves. This is illegal, as far as I know.

    Second, if you improve grammar and general spelling(I'm not trying to pedantic here) people might have greater trust in your selling ability. Colloquialisms (even for me) caused confusion when reading the article.
    Stuff like:
    "it has DVDX Donglefree DVD player sono need for a remote because to you can use the xbox controller has your remote"

    Third, you have 14 feedback score. With one negative feedback out of a total of 15. Thats not great, tbh. People are taking a 6~% chance risk that the sale will go well, judging on your past transactions.

    Fourth, this is your only item for sale, and its presentation is lacking, coupled with the other shortcomings its not really a surprise that its not selling.

    Saw in the paper a few months ago that some guy in england was jailed for selling multiple modified xboxes (on ebay) with big hard drives and 30 or so games on it so I dont think it is legal

    Thread locked.
    Headshot: you should know better than to ask for help selling illegal things.
    Ignorance of the law/ebay rules isnt an excuse.

    Next time banning may occur.
