F/S Sony Playstation 3 20GB
hypernova:
So can we all agree that this thread is hopelessly derailed, and continue on the morals of buying a ps3 only to resell it for a profit?
hypernova:
It's an investment. Practically like stocks, bonds, or mutual funds.
"Scalpers" are merely people investing their money AND time to make a profit, which may or may not be worthwhile (which is subjective.) Most of the people who DID want one didn't have the 24-48 hours to spend sitting in some stupid line.
I was under the impression that scalping is generally legal, so long as you don't do it on the grounds of the event being held.

This is just supply and demand... simple economics. It will balance itself out in a while and if you have the cash to blow on toys you are gonna pay a premium here. Like a hot selling new car that the dealer marks up because HE CAN. If you need one of these and don't want to pay a premium wait. Prices will come down, I guarantee it. Personally I wouldn't pay retail for one but I don't have the time for a console. If I want a game.. MAME works fine.

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:
