PS3s.
I have three PS3s available for sale for $750 each. Well, $750 for any of my friends or people who I respect anyway. Of course, I can get anything. Need a rare movie produced in the 1930s that isn't available for purchase anywhere that you can see? Give me 24 hours.
I hate to say it, but I think people who are willing to buy this system off me for cost + $1,000 are idiots. What can I say - they paid for my new 62" TV. I figured in one year of only spending $500 on myself (if that), I would get something new for the house. Maybe it's time for me to start to live.
Someone I know waited all night to buy a Wii from the Superstore. I said that if he sold his Nintento Wii on EBAY that morning he would have made $800 profit and that he could have found someone in town selling the Wii that same day, for much less (probably $500 or less). He refused. Low and behold that same day there were ads at LU for a Wii going for $420 by someone local. His net profit for waiting six hours to play the Wii: $700 US. But nope, he couldn't wait six hours. I should point out he is in massive debt too. That is very unintelligent decision making if you ask me.
Reminds me of those people who camp out for a week to see the premiere of a movie. Maybe consider waiting an extra two days to prevent all of that?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's all relative I know, but I still think it is incredibly fucking stupid no matter how you cut it. I hate to say that, but geez. Relative or not, I seriously cannot wrap my heads around this type of behaviour. Now for very rich people who don't want the inconvenience of waiting in a long lineup, I can understand. What's an extra grand when you're loaded anyway? But for your regular Joes working for minimum wage and spending a month's pay on a video game console - I just don't get it, at all.
$750, and the price is not up negotiation, since I know I can get $1,200 US for it on EBAY. I just figured I would offer this as a favour for anyone who is interested. We're not talking about food here so I don't feel like I'm coercing anyone. I highly recommend against it though. Even regular price for the PS3 is way too much for a video game system in my opinion.
This thread is still ongoing.
