Nintendo WII launch christmas...20 came in to Walmart, I got 10, my friend got 10 for ummm...$300 I think? I sold my cheapest one for $450 and the highest went for $600 two days before christmas.
Xbox 360 I only got 5 at two different stores for $400 each. Sold for 500-700 week before christmas.
No PS3 stories...there was too much stock to abuse it. :(
Ah, taking advantage of people during the holidays. Classic.
8th gen predictions. (made early 2014)
PS4: 60-65m
WiiU: 30-35m
X1: 30-35m
3DS: 80-85m
PSV: 15-20m
I was going to do that with Wii U, but as launch came closer it was evident that Nintendo was going to supply a lot of consoles and the eBay demand wasn't there. So I just gave my two pre-orders to a couple friends who wanted one but didn't pre-order.
I may do it with one or both of the upcoming consoles, but it will depend on the general feel of their launch.
i was going to with WiiU until the manager at eb told me about there stock and demand, wouldnt have made money on it so i just bought my own

Hey, I've netted out to not even coming close to having to pay for a console in a long long time. :)
Supply and Demand is how the world goes 'round.

Not at all...i'm just redistributing a console from one area with stock to another one. This service is time consuming and difficult so I must mark up!
| PDF said: Had a friend do that with the PS3. He resold it within the first week for around 900. Funny thing was he did not buy it originally for that purpose but then after seeing what they were going for on ebay in the first week he couldn't resist. He then bought another one at the store only a few weeks later. I was always jealous of that. I remember telling him "good luck finding another one". |
Why pay for a console when you can have others do it for you! :)
To be honest: If I have the reserves needed for this at fall this is exactly what I am going to do.

THAT...is the spirit. I have no doubt that XB One and the PS4 will be in short supply.
Nintendo however? Nuh uhhh.
