I'm just speaking as a gamer, one who thinks that if nobody did this selling Wiis secondhand on eBay, there'd be more Wiis in the stores for people to buy at regular price...and as a gamer, I think it'd be good if more people could buy it at the regular price. All these people buying to simply resell are taking away that initial opportunity from many people. It's an acceptable loss to go buy a Wii on eBay or Craigslist...but it's not a service. You're taking Wiis that someone else would buy, and selling them for profit...creating your own demand. Nothing illegal about it...it's just annoying to me and many others. |
I agree with you. *GASP*
I will agree that it is annoying and I wouldn't ever pay more than MSRP for a luxury item like a Wii. Now don't get me wrong because I love my Little Wii.
My point is that it is his freedom to do this. If there were no "parasites" (as Final-Fan calls them) there would be a few more Wiis to go around. Doesn't mean that those few Wiis will meet the overall demand. That is my point.
