Default Re: LINE WAITING at BEST BUY for PS3

ok wtf... prices are at all-time lows. I posted 2 of our 4 units the second I got time to (around now yesterday) and with 20 minutes left, no bid for $1500 starting price, and I'm feeling like I'll be stuck with it.

Has anyone been having problems selling theirs too? And do you think prices will climb back up a bit once the initial floodage stops?

This is hillarious. They are topping at $1200-1500. They may go up towards Christmas if no other shipments come in.

What did you guys expect? eBay gets slammed with everyone and their mothers thinking they are gonna make thousands off reselling the PS3s that their dumba$ses waited days in line for. Once you eBay you have a high chance of some idiot or idiots ruining your auction by being the high bidder with no intention to pay you or even better no one bids on your stupid opening price.

Hope some of you kept your receipts because you are gonna be returning them.

I fail to see how this is hilarious. There are some people who may need the money from selling these for extra income. Like me for example, I recently got laid off and was hoping that the money from my two ps3's would be able to hold our family over until I was able to find another job. Great post, douchebag.

Oh man I'm sorry you banked your family's finacial security on the reselling of a video game console. If you set up an account many of us poker players could pool together some scratch to help you out. Do you have a Pokerstars account I could transfer some to?

I didn't bank anything on the reselling of these ps3's. I preordered them a few weeks ago from TRU, and got laid off earlier this week, so I was really hoping the money from these would be able to get us by until I found work. No hard feelings, I'm just grumpy.

I will flip you for a PS3? Your families security for a 50/50 shot to double up? You have to be game.

There are about 50 auctions ending every minute. At that rate, Ebay will sell off 72,000 units in one day, or about 40% of the entire United State's supply of PS3s. Obviously way overestimating, as I'm looking on Ebay at 2:00 PM, but it still is pretty amazing.

Lol, thanks for the offer. I think I'll pass though. Wasn't trying to whine, this whole thing just pissed me off when I woke up this morning.
