A) it's not really a gamble cause as long as you don't open the package you can alway return it to the store if you aren't getting the ebay prices you want.

B) do you have any source or research behind that 10-20% number?  obviously the wii sold amazing on ebay and the ps3 didn't but i've never seen any hard research on these types of things.  if so i'd like to read up on that.

The PS3 was very expensive on Ebay back in the days. Was going for 2K if guaranteed a same day release shipment and about 1K after release. It was mad. Ebay even had to put some new rules up where sellers had to show a pre-ordering proof for selling it before release.

The problem with the ps3 was it only lasted a week at most, before stablizing on ebay. Wii on the other hand was still going for huge margin for at least half a year, and arguably a  whole year.
