I wouldn’t necessarily say I’m “overpaying” for stuff because if you know the market for the items I bought, you would know I got some serious steals. Also, I have the address of anyone who has bought from me, so if someone decided to send me a brick in the mail, you better believe I’m filing a hefty ass police report. Lastly, I’m not doing some sketchy five minute testing on the consoles I order. First I boot up and test the system, make sure it connects to WiFi, reads a CD and accepts all ports and wires properly. Check the hard drive size and make sure that’s correct. Then open it up and check to see if any parts have been damaged or tampered with. If all that checks out, I play the console for a couple of hours to make sure I didn’t miss any issues, as I do this I am given the opportunity to test the controllers.

Also, yes selling electronics is risky, but wouldn’t selling any high value item be risky to sell?
