Gran Turismo 5 cars on eBay

Gran turismo 5 was for myself and most ps3 owners a first day buy. for those of you not in the know its a racing simulator made exclusively for the ps3, the team who developed the game worked on a number of other GT games for every console sony have released since their initial launch back in 1994.

The game has a learning curve that starts off straight forward enough but the final set of races require more than just driving skills alone, they require fine tuning cars to perfection some cases this involves tuning the car for each specific track. of course to even come close to finishing these races one must possess the cars themselves and this is where eBay comes in. ordinarily cars can be earned by winning races or by simply buying them with the credit won from races. the developers included a trading feature this time which allows online users to gift each other cars but some people are starting to exploit this feature to make real cash. i didn’t believe this at first until i took a trip over to eBay, .co.uk didn’t have much listed apart from a few gift cards but .com was a whole other story.

The vast majority of the cars start between two and five dollars but there are some ridiculously priced ones that are advertised from as much as fifty to three hundred dollars. who would buy these cars? people who bought the game of course. don’t get me wrong i like the idea of a gifting system between users but not for profit. i have yet to use the feature myself because i’m almost finished the game and i got there by just persisting and choosing the right cars and tune-ups. its probably just a phase while the game is still popular but these eBay styled deals are starting to pop up on gaming forums and sites all over the internet.
