I saw a guy on here a few weeks ago saying that he bought 2 Wii U's; one for himself, and one to sell when supply runs dry in December (to make a £100+ profit). This got me thinking...why don't I do this too?! xD

UK retailers are still taking pre-orders, so what's stopping me from buying a few now and selling them in December? Well...I had a lot of money saved up from the Summer, so I did just that! :D I've pre-ordered 5 Wii U's which I'll sell on eBay in December when there's fuck all supply! :D. I should make about £100 on each console...so £500 profit! Right in time to buy myself an iPad mini for Christmas (if they release one, which I think they will) :D

Why don't more people do this?! It's easy money! :D

My prediction threads:

Wii U will sell under 40m units (made on 14th September 2012)

PS Vita will sell under 20m units (made on 30th September 2012)

Wii U will sell under 7m in 2013 - I was right

Halo 4 first 9 weeks sales prediction

PS4 to be down YOY in 2015

No such thing as easy money.

Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

If you expect a £500 profit then I have a feeling that December will be a very disappointing month for you. I don't think demand will be anywhere close to as crazy as some people expect, especially in Europe.

it's only a risk if you pre-order from a store without a return policy.

I hope that Nintendo has a panic price cut and you lose 250 dollars. :)

Usually, the weeks/months following the release of a highly scalped product involve tons of stories of people being mugged/robbed/scammed while trying to buy or sell these systems.
