I think that's $1500 just for one. Look how there's 2 consoles available but the quantity is only 1.

For one side, this kind of abuses disgust me.

But on the other side, this a console, a luxury item not a basic necessity, so if there's someone willing to pay that much for it, they deserve to be scammed.

This works every gen with every console, yet I keep skipping this goldmine...

I gotta learn how to succeed at life.

I hope people remain patient instead of empowering these scum*****.

I wouldn't say that these people are necessarily "rich" ...

For the top 80% of American families they could afford to spend this on a Christmas gift for the whole family if they were motivated enough. Of course the average American family wouldn't be interested, but if only 2.5% of these American households would consider spending that much more for a system and 2.5% of those were interested in the Wii U, there would still be 50,000 systems sold above retail.

It will be pulled. I had just listed my extra Wii U pre-order yesterday and it was pulled by Ebay as its shipping day is more than 30days away. I'll re-list in a few days.

However, they have been selling (Deluxe sets) for ~$520. I'm trying to sell it for up to $850, making my own Wii U a free item. However, I'll be happy for selling it anywhere above $450 as that is the breaking even point for the console when selling via Ebay.

1500 bucks???? Glad I got 2 :)

I'm planning on putting mine up the monday after black friday. I believe this is when demand will be the highest, and thus the prices highest.

It didn't work with the PS3.

hahahahaha yep. Sad but true. XD

PS3 crosses $10,000 barrier on eBay

Bids for the coveted PlayStation 3 consoles have skyrocketed to three and four times their purchase prices.

Whatever you want to call them (opportunists, price gougers, geniuses), the slew of sellers auctioning those PS3 consoles they waited in line for could soon be laughing maniacally all the way to the bank.

We reported earlier that bids for Sony PS3s hadreached $9,000 this morning. By Friday afternoon bidding on eBay had jumped over $10,000 for a new, unopened 60GB unit. (Thanks to Evan J. for the tip.)

One entrepreneurial young man, asking $16,000, pleads on his seller's page, "FREE OVERNIGHT!!!! Help fund my college education!" The accompanying grainy photo of him holding his receipt and PS3 is slightly reminiscent of those ransom videos where a kidnap victim is forced to hold that day's newspaper to prove he or she is still alive. But despite the creepiness factor, we can't fault "discounts-from-philly"'s desperation for higher education. But we can if he just uses the money to get bigger tires and a paint job for his truck.

Yes it did. It was only for the launch holiday season and was overshadowed by Wii.
