If you can make more than $30 an hour, why did you do it? It seems like a waste of your time from the figures you gave us. I'm just asking. I don't care that you are trying to make money.

What exactly is the scenario that you wanted to happen? That everyone who bought a ps3 would not resell it, and therefore the only people who own one are those who could take several days off work to wait in line? Or that those people who waited in line should resell the ps3 for the price they bought it for?
You can not just walk into a store right now with $600 and buy a ps3 which is why there is a "premium" on top of the retail price to own one. To own a ps3 today you either had to wait in line for several days or pay the $1500 to somone who did wait in line. Since it is cheaper for most people who really wanted a ps3 to pay $1500 then it is to take 2-3 days off work, they are willing to pay that much to get one. I'm not sure why this upsets you so much.

Well, I took leave from work (got paid for the time off) and enjoyed the time I spent with others hanging out and doing some fun stuff.

I don't see how asking a price is ripping people off. Don't like the price, don't pay the price. If someone paid the price they obviously don't mind it. We are educated consumers here. If anything, this is the best place to sell one without ripping someone off.
