I want to agree with you since I work hard at two jobs, but you seem to not realize that this extra income will help me get out of debt faster. Work alone can get me out of debt, but I'd rather save on some interest payments by squashing this quickly.

Smart thinking Icy. If there are people dumb enough to pay 750 CAD simply because they have to have it right away when it gets released... You're just making most out of situation. It's not greed, it's smart thinking.

I fully agree as long as you spend it on the loan. The point I was trying to make is that in my experience in the past, most people I know who make a few extra dollars (from a gamble on something) blow it cause 300 isnt considered significant dent in a huge loan to them.

I hear you. Rest assured this is going straight to help me out of my financial woes. My brother has 35k in student loans and he just said he wants to take part in this as well.

Amen and salute!

Since this only affects those who are extremely desperate to own the console on launch day, I can say one of two things (depending on the person):

1) They felt the price was still worth it for them, so whatevs..
2) A fool and his money are soon parted.

Your personal affairs dont justify the fact that buying an already produced and manufactured good, already being sold at a reasonable market price for own benefit (Nintendos), for reselling it at a way more expensive price, is dishonest.
You are taking the offer-demand law too far, it could even be labeled as a swindle

I'm not trolling here, but I feel like you're letting your emotions get in the way of seeing this from my perspective. I've got some things I want to ask you related to the bolded sections of your post. Maybe you'll "see the light" as you try to come up with the answers for them.

1) What justifies selling anything for profit, if not to benefit yourself, whether it be to help pay off a student loan or anything for that matter.

2) What's reasonable for one person, may not be reasonable for another and vice versa. Don't you think my price could be reasonable for a number of people?

3) Why is Nintendo allowed to have monetary benefit from something, but I'm not? Please don't say it's because they built the console from the ground up.. Since most of us know that they get much (if not all) of their parts from outside sources.

4) If the price and items are clearly set in the advertisement I created, how is this dishonest/a swindle? *Hint* Look up the definition for swindle and you'll see where your fault lies.

5) Who decides when the law of supply and demand is taken too far or too close? If this entity exists, why didn't they stop lamborginis being sold for millions of dollars? Because I'm sure the parts and labour used to manufacture these vehicles don't justify the high retail costs, or do they?

I have pre ordered 4. All of them are for eBay.

This is something I do all the time on eBay. No needed to get upset, it's a great way to make cash.

you're so cold! think of the children!
