Forums - Gaming - I guess my run is over...

so I saw that Formla 1 2009 for Wii was a pretty good game (in another thread on this website) and decided to look into the price on Amazon thinking they may have it $5 off or something like that. To my surprise it was selling for $80 or more new. So I checked GameStop, and it was $39.99 and it said GameStop Exclusive.

So I had this brilliant idea, I'll post that I have one for sale on Amazon for $59.99 and see if it sells. Here I was thinking that people will be smarter than this, but it sold within hours. So I went over to the store and bought a copy for a profit of $9, once Amazon was done ripping me off (hey, can't complain since I'm ripping someone else off)

So, 1 copy sold, and I think to myself, I wonder how high the customer will go, and I jack the price to $64.99, but I accidentally placed 2. 2 more copies sold within hours. Crap, got to head back to the store again, 2 more copies bought and shipped. $23 more earned. Now, I'm getting a kick out of this, and I've netted slightly over $30 for almost no work.

So I post 1 last copy for $69.99 just to see what would happen. Sold within hours plus I got expediated shipping for an extra $3. Now thanks to me, the price of Formula 1 2009 has dropped to $65 new

(ok, you can tell me how horrible I am, but my experiment with consumers during the holiday period is complete and I have concluded they must be lazy, desperate, or both)




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

what a misleading title... and yes, you are horrible :)



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.

You aren't horrible, you're brilliant.



lol, it's true. It reminds me of that old game dopewars.




 

crap, I really don't know why I put this in gaming... should have been in sales or offtopic...

lol, I'd continue selling the game, but Syracuse is now officially out of stock unless I want to drive 15 miles one way

Jeez Nordlead, don't scare me like that.

Nicely done, but seeing as all of that money will go towards diapers anyways, it's almost a shame.
