hahhahahaha.  There is so much wrong with this statement.  First of all, this is supply and demand just as Chad said.  Gas isn't $200 a gallon because people aren't willing to pay that and because of the current supply, there is no reason to PRICE IT AT $200.  There are very few PS3s and a LOT of folks who want them, so the price will fluctuate upwards until it reaches a price point that the market will pay.  People were paying $2000+ for a PS3 a few weeks ago with preorders... now they are $1200 on ebay and similar... this is the market finding the "right" price for the item.  It's how our fine country has worked for quite a while now.... go grab an economics book.

Second, you're wrong on a strictly grammatical stance as well.  The PS3 is WORTH more than $500.  In fact, Sony is losing money on each system to the amount of around $250 IIRC.  It's over $200 in any case.  So actually, the PS3 is WORTH at least $700.  Sony has made the conscious business decision to sell at a loss in order to gain installed base.

You don't like the fact that you can't buy a Ps3 right now for $500.  That's fine... but don't go dismissing the entire economic structure.  This isn't price gouging.. just get over it.

I always thought members of the BYOAC board sort of looked out for each other.  We try not to price gouge each other like that.   We are always selling things to each other at good prices and oftentimes give things away for free to help the hobby of arcade collecting.  Just doesn't seem like a real nice gesture, especially around the holidays.  I guess i don't mind so much the fact of him trying to sell it at whatever price he wants, but it irks me that he brought it to this board trying to price gouge one of our own.  I know other times when new people post things like "Working Capcom Bowling game, rare, $2000.00", they get flamed like crazy, this feels like the same thing to me.

p.s.--i'm seeing tons of these on cragslist and ebay on a daily basis for under 1000.00, so i'm not sure how 'rare' these PS3s are anymore.

Of all people that have a problem I didn't think you would voice it, didn't I just hook you up with a nice refferal for the free Wii?  Lol.  Just kidding you have the right to your opinion.

hey i appreiciate the referal but there are many other places you can sell ur ps3 the gouging that goes on with theese things makes me sick......
and well i tend to speak my mind, my friends/gf know that lol

mccoy178:
I hope you speak better than you type.  I say sell it for whatever the market is paying.  Null, you should be mad at Sony, not eschmunk.  There aren't many situations where someone can make a ton of money in the gaming community so easily.  If you don't like what he's doing, just wait until next summer when they are available to everyone.  In the meantime, write congress and tell them to make Sony stop being so mean.
