I have a GameStop preorder. So I have options :)

Nevermind just got it on Bestbuy (same KZ bundle). Slower shipping but still free shipping.  If I really can't sell the other one for $1000 or something goes wrong then I'm just going to give it to my gf because she's getting a new TV and we can game together while I'm gone at school win win!

paypal took it back. He was paid via paypal from a verified account, however the account used to pay with was hacked/stolen so paypal reversed the payment even though the transaction had been completed, leaving him to argue with paypal to get his money. Eventually he got it back, but their are plenty of examples of people that didn't fare so well.

Well, not exactly the same, but I bought my little bro a Wii for his Bday/Xmas present (around the same day.)  It was one of those 'big' birthdays.  He we so excited and I knew his kids would be happy as they loved playing mine.  I had spent several months saving up (also got him extra controllers), and the NFL game that year - he loves US football like an Oil Tycoon love subsidies.  It was a fancy US Football game with a hologram on it.   I had also got some games for his kids – they loved Diego and there is a little kid Diego game. I also got his wife an exercise game that I thought she would like too.

People were amazed how generous I was, but I’m not sure why, I usually give someone a rather generous present every year (I have a huge family – so they have to take turns getting lucky.)  I was a little surprised they were surprized, as I had given him a Dreamcast +2 memory units + whole bunch of accessories, and that year's football game, a decade earlier a previous big birthday.

So, well, to make a long story short – his wife through a huge fit and wouldn’t let him accept it.  (She is a bit of a dementor.)  Something about how they can’t control their older kid or something like that – they were going to try to sell it as use my cash.

Anyway, posted an add Xmas eve for just a little bit more than was paid (still, mint, used in the box and sold out all over town.)  You would think, hey, this is someone trying to get out of a terrible mess and make a kid happy and a tiny bit of profit to go with the sadness of a spouse ruining (another) holiday.  Nope, people just called the seller terrible things.

I ended up returning it to the store and losing money.  The store employees were none to pleased either as so many people had wanted them for the holiday.  I didn’t get all my money back either.

So tried it, but literally the day before, didn’t work.

Followup -  So they said they couldn’t handle their kid if he had a video game - something, something, can't control him – they got him a 3DS shortly after, he already had another video game, and bro would still play his Dreamcast. 

Just wait for launch day, you could sell it for 1000's on ebay. Lots of people do that.

You are a very bad person.

I was thinking of selling my PS4 preorder too, but there just is no real risk-free way to do so. I might end up just cancelling it because I don't think I really need a PS4 on the launch day. *sigh* Too many scammers, too many crazy people. Not worth trying.

I wanted to get one at launch but I no longer can since I won't have spare money for several months. But hey if you feel like it's a good idea then go for it no one can really stop you.

I would sell it, launch models always have a higher failure rate so profit.

sell and make a profit
I bought 12 wiis when they first came out and made £2000 profit
it's just business!

P.S

if morons are willing to pay way over the odds for a product. let them
