Good effort, but I think a 500 pound profit seems a bit optimistic. I think you'll be happy just to break even when all is said and done.

You and Train wreck are deliberately taking advantage of people. Have you guys no shame whatsoever?

Just kidding but seriously wouldn't that cost you like £1,250? And thats assuming you preordered the basic set. You have to be the richest guy I've ever seen. How far is demand here though? From what I know its not that big.

One more thing to complete my year = senran kagura localization =D

I saw a guy on here a few weeks ago saying that he bought 2 Wii U's; one for himself, and one to sell when supply runs dry in December (to make a £100+ profit). This got me thinking...why don't I do this too?! xD

UK retailers are still taking pre-orders, so what's stopping me from buying a few now and selling them in December? Well...I had a lot of money saved up from the Summer, so I did just that! :D I've pre-ordered 5 Wii U's which I'll sell on eBay in December when there's fuck all supply! :D. I should make about £100 on each console...so £500 profit! Right in time to buy myself an iPad mini for Christmas (if they release one, which I think they will) :D

Why don't more people do this?! It's easy money! :D

Why buy an iPad mini?? Just hold your current iPad further from yor face? Same thing.

This is going to be great when the WiiU releases and by the time December rolls around there isn't that high of demand due to Nintendo actually realizing they should make more this time.

Come December, I see you making probably a total of 100 of the whole thing, if that. I'm sure it's going to sell out at launch, but after black Friday they shouldn't be super rare. Considering that you have a lot of money tied up into this for 3 months, it really isn't worth the effort.

Just like I bought my first PsS3 for $600 and after chilling in a fucken Walmart for almost 36 hours with my old GF , a friend and other cool gamers I got it and sold it to someone as a buy now option on ebay for $2,000. Good times free money. Always a good idea!
