I think you're making an assumption about the SNES classic. If Nintendo is actually making "signficantly more" SNES classics to a point where they're readily available on store shelves in the weeks following launch (aka keeping up with demand), you're not going to see people buying them from ebay for 2--3 times the prices. That's a big if, though.

There will not be enough SNES classics to meet demand.

All pre-orders here have sold out the same day here. Scalpers are already selling the SNES classic on Ebay.


 

I agree with you on all points, except I put an * on this one. Pre-orders don't necessarily mean anything. We don't know how many they had for pre-order, and how representative it is of total availability. This could easily be the first round in many rounds of pre-orders, and have the smallest quantity available. They haven't even had pre-orders here in North America. It's possible Nintendo actually listened and when they said they're making "signficantly more SNES classics" they really meant 5-10 times more. We really don't have enough information to make this claim yet.
