with 22,000 of them on ebay right now it looks like they will be selling for less...

it was posted here on ot man. waited in line 26 hours there to get mine. was about 30 people lined up at the doors to toys r us and me and the other 5 people that got a preorder just walked in and out while angry customers were fighting with managers about it.
 
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150059269467 looks like all the faggots that bid this one up are no longer registered users on ebay.
 
If you are going to sell it and think its going to get more rare later on then you will be dissapointed. I put mine on ebay the night I got home from walmart.
 
Yeah, over 200 pages of listings... I don't think anyone is going to flip through them and bid on a specific one. There are like 2-3 that end every single minute.
 
There were 10,000+ Elmos on Ebay within 2 days of its release and they all sold for about an average of 150% profit. I wouldn't be worried.
 
so basically 10% of all the PS3's in the US are on ebay right now. Plus im sure another 20k preorder have sold in the last month. That means there is still 80% or so of them left. Probably only 10% or so of the population that bought is actually going to keep so my guess is there are 70% of the PS3's in the US with people going to put on ebay in the next few day to before christmas. is this a pretty fair assesment?
 
I love it how idiots wait in line for a week and excpect a $5000 profit but dissapointed when they can't get more than $1000. Anyways those over $3000 wining bids are mostly fake bidders.

Don't be suprised when they go for retail or less in about a week since supplies are being replinish constantly
 
i ended up selling my 60gb w/ resistance and madden for $1,525.

Paid $140.83 for overnight shipping, shipping insurance, and signature confirmation.
Paid about $50 for ebay fees
Paid about $45 for paypal fees

and i'm actually content that i made something, although not nearly as much as some people. not bad for having to wait only 1 hour on the preorder date, beautiful 70 degree weather, and picking it up yesterday at the store with no problems. oh, and i have 1 more positive feedback.
