You have to keep in mind two things; first, there are people to whom $1000 is chump change. Second, they don't know what the hell a WiiU is, all they know is that their kids are asking for it and it's already late November. Of course these people are not simply going to be able to walk into a store at that point and buy one, so they turn to ebay in desperation just to make little Jimmy's Xmas morning special. I think it's ridiculous as well, but as someone else pointed out earlier, there are people with more money than sense. |
Makes sense. Concert tickets go for 2-3 times the price too when compared to what they are intially sold for at ticketmaster. It is suppy and demand but as an economist i get skeptical thinking that some people who don't make too much money still end up spending on luxury items. There is no rush for a person who doesn't do drugs as good as instant gratification.
