| platformmaster918 said: 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). |
People on eBay were paying as much as $6,000 for the PS3 at release. Two weeks later, they were in all the stores. The only system I've ever seen sold out for a long periods of time was the Wii and I've bought all the systems within a month of release without a pre-order. Sadly, a large number of the pre-orders are to people who just plan on trying to sell them for more.
The PS4 and Xbox One will be the first system that I don't buy in the launch window. There are way too many great games out that I still don't have any many great games still coming out for the currently available systems. I'd rather buy 12 great games than spend the money on a new system, accessories and a couple of games that give a small graphical bump.
Stop hating and start playing.
