They don't "have to" even with people selling on eBay. I didn't. I waited and in February2007 (when it was still very sold out of course) I just called multiple stores and in ONE day I had one. It wasn't impossible, just took some work. But many people don't care for that and would rather spend the extra money. Its you judgmental folks who lack the capability to understand supply and demand and what each person's view is on the "value" of an item that is so irritating.



i have 2 ps4s preordered for launch day, i will be trying to flip mine to at least break even for both. $800 would be nice and all i really want, but i would take more too. i remember ps2s going for crazy prices, same for x360s.



 

Hmm I can still preorder on Amazon.de I wouldnt trust that shortage probably just a marketing strategy

Honestly... people get excited way too easily. You know half of you will be stuck with systems that are going to malfunction within the first 2 years?

I dont know what the rush is tbh. But okay. Its not like im opposed to a Sony dominance next gen.



My friend has 11 PS4 and 3 Xbones preordered, and will to sell for less than $1000, so you got some competition lol



I've never had a problem with paypal and i've sold quite a bit of stuff. I sold a Wii U when it launched for over 500$. No problems.

I did not intend to do this but I may become a scalper.  I'm already seeing PS4 preorders go up to $800.  I have the KZ bundle with Plus on preorder on Amazon.  They just ran out of PS4s and so has Gamestop apparently.  PS3 still has an awesome lineup including a REAL Ratchet this Fall so I don't even feel like I need PS4 right away.  I think I'm gonna take advantage of this offer because you only get one chance to make hundreds of dollars of profit like this per gen.  I'm a college student and need the money anyway so people with disposable income are welcome to pay over $1000 for me to change the shipping address.  Gotta love limited supply!

Anyone been in this situation before and which decision did you make?  Did you sell or keep?  Did you regret your decision or were you happy at the end?  When is the best time to sell a preorder profit wise?

EDIT:  I am being patient and I do really want it at launch so I'll start my bidding at $1000 a couple weeks before launch and see if I get any bites.  If no one bids then I'll keep it and enjoy KZ and Knack on launch day.  If they do then I'll enjoy all the awesome PS3 titles coming this holiday (see first post on page 2).

It depends on you. I'm a PC gamer always happy to find good bargains for great games and more than ready to wait some time after their launch, to pay them less (although after years of buying only budget editions, and despite having a huge backlog that will let me play it a lot later anyway, I bought The Witcher 2 as soon as the Enhanced Edition was released, to help giving the devs all the financial support they deserve), so if I were you I'd be happy to have a chance to earn oney on it, and buy the console later.
But I'm not you, you must carefully weight financial benefit and your personal satisfaction. If you are an early adopter, getting it ASAP can make you happier than saving money or even earning some on it.
