Four times. I've seen a listing marked as sold with a price of $400

You can sock puppet your own eBay listening to create “social proof”

I’m hoping nobody is actually paying $400 for an open box controller with no warranty…

I wouldn't think it would need to be open box. I'm sure the second they get the item they snap pictures and post it for sale. Are they opening these up to take pictures?
