Same here bought two, keeping one and selling the other on ebay. The profit I get will go towards games like New Super Mario Bros U and Zombie U; or else I would of not been able to afford these games. Is that bad? :s

i dont support those practices, sorry


Everyone in business practices this.. Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft. If you buy any of their products you're supporting this practice. It's called making a profit. The demand is high and the supply is low. I have 10k in student loans, so I'm going to the store tomorrow and buying more since it'll be the last day of preorders! Wish me luck in my business venture!

All the best dude. I know how student loans feel.

Your personal affairs dont justify the fact that buying an already produced and manufactured good, already being sold at a reasonable market price for own benefit (Nintendos), for reselling it at a way more expensive price, is dishonest.
You are taking the offer-demand law too far, it could even be labeled as a swindle

I'm not trolling here, but I feel like you're letting your emotions get in the way of seeing this from my perspective. I've got some things I want to ask you related to the bolded sections of your post. Maybe you'll "see the light" as you try to come up with the answers for them.

1) What justifies selling anything for profit, if not to benefit yourself, whether it be to help pay off a student loan or anything for that matter.

2) What's reasonable for one person, may not be reasonable for another and vice versa. Don't you think my price could be reasonable for a number of people?

3) Why is Nintendo allowed to have monetary benefit from something, but I'm not? Please don't say it's because they built the console from the ground up.. Since most of us know that they get much (if not all) of their parts from outside sources.

4) If the price and items are clearly set in the advertisement I created, how is this dishonest/a swindle? *Hint* Look up the definition for swindle and you'll see where your fault lies.

5) Who decides when the law of supply and demand is taken too far or too close? If this entity exists, why didn't they stop lamborginis being sold for millions of dollars? Because I'm sure the parts and labour used to manufacture these vehicles don't justify the high retail costs, or do they?

 


i wonder if he would have been this upset if it was a Sony or MS console???



Omg.

Thank you for reminding me to do this. What was I stupid sitting on the sidelines for quite possibly one of the bigest ebay items?

I gotta get on this. lol

if you would see something for $10 anywhere like on a market knowing you could get $1000 from someone, wouldn't you buy it to sell it? if yes, don't you thnk that is dishonest and a swindle to sell it later for 1k? because if you wouldn't have bought it for $10 someone else really interested for it could have bought it on that market for $10.



Pretty much a waste of time though.

You could make more buying Nintendo stock for a week.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
