LINE WAITING at BEST BUY for PS3

[midwestkc]

I was just at my local best buy, and they said that they are only going to have 5. The lady recomended that you get there on Wednesday if you want one. I'm not waiting that long, that's retarded.

I'm going to try to find one of these 12am openings in Toronto and then try another store that doesnt have a big line at 12.15. I'm also planning on taking my younger brother so we can get 1 each.

I'm assuming you all re-sell those after on eBay, right? What profit does one console usually show?? I'm just curious about this whole thing.. Thanks.

Just check eBay. These sell new for about $600 or so?

Good luck waiting in line at any major US retail chain. I have seen allocated amounts now for Circuit, Wal-Mart and for Best Buy. Most Circuits and Wal-Marts are getting a combination of 5 to 8 of the 2 versions, while Best Buy which is being allocated around 15% of the Sony initial shipment, will only be having an average of 9 units per location.

Not worth my time to wait probably 36 to 48 hours in line for one of these even if I double or triple my money.

Learn to play poker well, you can make more in that timeframe.

How much of a problem would it be to not have an existing ebay account? Would I be unable to sell a PS3 because I have no rating?

[Kurssk]

You'd probably be able to sell. Maybe not for quite as much as others who are established. Maybe $100 less?

The buyers have rationalized paying 3 times more than its worth. Im sure they'll fit your lack of history into their rationalization.

the line for best buy has already begun at one store:

WOW can I expect those prices to hold up after the PS3 has hit the market? And when should I think about going in line to buy one or two in Quebec City (Canada)? We don't have BestBuy but have Futureshop (owned by bestbuy) and obviously wal-mart and the likes...

I'm thinking this would be nice, but I<d like to know for sure the prices are not gonna drop when it's out.

yes, i expect them to be above 2k pretty easily and maybe even flirt with 3k at times between launch and xmas
