I think it's safe to say business was pretty good this year, Loaded. Congrats on your profit.

Oh god, per hour? Well by my own estimations, including Black Friday, I've probably spent about 15 hours and about 50 gallons of gas specifically looking for Wiis.

So (1195 - (3*50))/15 = $70/hr

Not bad.

@ Steve Smith - I had plenty of competition this year. At one point there were 28500 Wiis on Ebay.

 That's a very good payout rate, I'm impressed.

Technically, it is what EVERY business around the world does. They buy products at a wholesale price. Then they mark them up to make profit. Its not exactly the same thing but its fairly close.

 That is bullshit.

They put in profit yes thats only 3% or so what resellers do is not make a fixed price and sell the consoles that got those 3% added again with extra value.

 People know the retail price and people know they are paying more than that, if they didn't want to spend the money they wouldn't (and shouldn't).  If you don't like it then don't do it, but don't delude yourself into thinking that anyone gives a crap what you think of them.

Yay for having this discussion before.

However, I must tell you, I have two "real" jobs. I'm a teller and a GA for GameStop. So umm... yeah. Don't hate the playa
