Default Re: how much did u sell your PS3 for?

considering the number of posts about the PS3, I'm really surprised none of you guys have responded to this post. I'll respond just to keep it active. I didn't sell my PS3 for nothin because I didn't bother to wait for 48 hours to make a few hundred dollars. I figured that even if I could sell the PS3 at $2000, for a profit of about $1300, that is only about $27/hour. Then you have to subtract the cost of sitting in the cold on the street in front of a store for 48 hours. for me, that is worth about $12/hour. So subtracting that, I'm down to like $15/hour in profit. Then it takes like two more hours to pack and ship the item, and many ebay auctions offered free overnight shipping, so i'd most likely have to eat that cost as well. Since I could get a part-time telemarketing job in my town for $12.50/hour, I figured that getting that job at no risk would be better than taking the risk on the PS3 for hardly any more money. But hey, I consider my time more valuable than $15/hour in any case. Just my 2 cents.

Maybe no one wants to admit that they didn't end up making the kind of cash on the PS3 that they had projected? I'm still curious about those Elmo dolls people were posting about before, too.
