Need Cash? Ebay Your 360 Achievements and Gamer Points

For dedicated achievement whores who are strapped for cash but don’t want to sell their entire game collection, there’s a new option-– sell the time you spend playing them.
It’s widespread practice, it seems. Den of Geek has found an auction offering such services for Gears of War. The Ebay link is nowhere to be found, but plenty of others – like this one for Guitar Hero and another for Gears of War – are out there. A bit more digging and you can even pimp your gamerscore on a grand scale.
This works because you’re not actually selling your own achievements or gamerscore, which are technically property of Microsoft anyway. You’re selling your time to do it for someone else. All you need is their live ID and password.
Would I buy them off you? Probably not. Sure, having them all would look great, but it’s still someone else’s score. I’ll still be as good (or rather, as bad) as I was before I paid to have these false accolades bestowed on me. Still, plenty of people out there fed up of being a noob.
Here’s the ad as posted on Den of Geek:
GEARS OF WAR - ACHIEVEMENT GLITCH!
The following auction is for the following achievements to be unlocked on your xbox 360 account :
SERIOUSLY… - 50G

After the achievements are unlocked on your profile, i will delete your account from my hard-drive and email you so that you know i have finished.

Damn, I hate the jerks that sell stuff like this on e-bay, like all those dirtbags that try to sell their save games. it is a real PITA when you are looking for a game and get flooded with this trash.
