You're right, i'm sorry for posting my commentary in this thread, it was not the right place to do so.

Is that what Christmas is all about?  Taking a PS3 from a parent waiting in line to buy one to give to their kid on Christmas day?  And then holding it above their head saying "you can still make your kid happy on christmas, just give me 2 grand for it.  I'm against these people that went out and bought these for the sole purpose of reselling them at huge price increases.  Every PS3 that was sold to a price gouger is one taken out of the hands of a kid that genuinely wanted one to play.  I really hope all these people that bought these for the sole purpose of price gouging people get stuck with all of them in the end.  :soapbox:

Worst case scenario, I take the unit back to the store and return it losing nothing but the time.  The loss of time is not thing, it was actually fun hanging out with a bunch of people.  We played football in the parking lot in the middle of the night it was crazy.  Nice thing about it was, we didn't worry that everyone would complain if you moved out of line.  We went and got food and did pretty much whatever we wanted.  As for selling for a profit, that is what free commerce is all about.  I don't feel it is wrong for charging what the market will bear, this is the point of free commerce right?

I guess I'll play the .

I know people are going to have their comments and I agree with them, I just so happen to be the person on the money making side of it while many of the people complaining are the ones who wanted to do the same.  Oh well.

It is completely different.  The ticket is worthless the day after a show.  There will be an unlimited amount of PS3s available.  It's only limited now.

Right.  So it's limited now... (before the concert) but soon it will be then (after the concert), the 'ticket' called a PS3 sold for 10 billion dollars will be worthless because you will be able to get one anywhere.

It's still scalping. No matter how you rationalize it.

Wait, theres no shortage of PS3's in the stores around you?  Where do you live because thats just bizzare.  If I ask any stores around here for a ps3 I just get laughed at.
