| Final-Fan said: twesterm, I have to say that I think you're missing an important point. cdude1034 is not necessarily "depriving" someone else of a Wii. The universal shortage is over now; some areas have a good supply, but other areas still have a very poor supply. If he just happened to walk into a store and spot one, he is probably in an area with a good supply. Anyone willing to pay $300+ either has money to burn or lives in an area with poor supply. That kind of redistribution of goods is good for everyone, even if cdude1034 is an opportunist jerk. That said, cdude, just drop the price to $300 and I think you'll find a buyer quickly. IMO the $300 mark is a barrier lots of people won't cross for a $250 Wii. Also, I think charging over $50 extra is what is making lots of people call you an ass. [edit: and they are right.] |
The thing is he's in San Antonio and from talking to people I actually know over there (NOTE-- I talked to people before I even started calling him a jerk) they do still sell out there. He even says they sell out in San Antonio in his opening post, just not as quickly as they did before. Hell, even going by that one statement in the opening remark, that completely negates his they're paying for the convenience charge.
