Auctioning off Playstation 2

[aniki]

Question! Is it illegal to auction of a Sony Playstation on the internet? And If legal can anyone quess how much it would go for?

 

[Dark4ng3l]

If you own it is legal. You can do whatever you want to do if you own it.

Just wondering... are you dissatisfied with the PS2?

If you're auctioning, you better do it fast.
I say Sony's faking the short supply. 2 weeks from now there'd be so many PS2s on the market you'd be lucky to get 80% back.
Nintendo did that with the N64, so why not Sony?

 

[JeffreyLebowski]

Word on the street is the PS2 is going for around $800-$1000

I saw it for 600. I think I will wait a couple of months and get it for 300. i am in no rush what with my kick butt PC! No console will ever beat the PC! Muahahahahahaha! No, really.

3001 dollars

is that insane or what

 

[HigherGround]

these people need their head examined, forking over 3K on a console borders insanity.

I had 3 units this morning, I sold all 3 in about 1 hour, I was asking 599 and got offers up to 800.. anyway it was shipped overnignt fed-ex and someone will have theirs tomorrow morning..

 

[VladTrishkin]

Well, i can see $500 or $600, but not $3000!!!!!

 

[Methodical]

I just found out that was NOTHING.

15,000 for a sony playstation 2.

 

[beat mania]

you know that 90% of those people will not pay. most like they have their own little auction going on.

 

[Modeps]

Methodical:
That 15k one was a scam... I was watching it and the same guy bid on it 3 straight times... (it jumped from 2k to 10k in one bid) then he bid more for no reason.

 

[VladTrishkin]

Yea, whats up with that? I hate when people are shady like that...

 

[Passions]

yes im slim shady im da real shady

 

[randomlinh]

a "few months"?? i was w/ a friend and he picked his reserve up... they said the next shipment for those w/o pre-orders.... is looking at MARCH!!! I hightly doubt it, but there are a lot of hardcore psx fans, and they'll fork around $600 for one if they weren't able to get it. Remember Tickle Me Elmo?? Not quite as insane, but you get the idea.

 

[TheNemesis]

Damn you gotta be CRAZY to pay that much!

 

[urbantechie]

I live in San Diego, pretty populated town don't you think? My freind left lunch to go get one, he got one easily. Maybe some places have em and some just don't.

 

[Losty]

Dang ps2 are going so high ...
fake a shortage eh?...maybe! maybe! and all those campers outside kmart are screwed!
too many people are posting it on @bay...way too many...
just imagine how the prices will fly for XMAS....hehe...

 

[da bastard]

if i knew it was going to be such a profitable comodity i would have bought it... but i already own a dvd player, a dreamcasat and a pc, so i see no reasons of owning a psx2 that costs so much

who needs this thing so bad that they are willing to pay $600 and up for it?

It's all about making a little extra money, man. I camped out with a friend at my Best Buy store all night for the PS2 (unfortunately, I didn't have the cash at the time; but I really wanted one BAD). With a bit of social engineering, he ended up obtaining 3 tickets and purchasing 3 of them (that punk). He kept one for himself and he's hoping the other two make him some loot on E-Bay. He said if one of them sells well he might consider selling me the other one for like $300, but I'm not holding my breath. It's just sickening how people can all of a sudden forget about their friends when money is involved

Well, according to the agreement that Sony has with retailers, more units will be shipped to those stores who sell the most accessories (games, controllers, memory cards, etc.) along with PS2's. Makes sense, since there's NO markup on the unit, at least where I work. Just don't go crazy and spend over $400 on one; you'll just be disappointed a year later when the stupid thing will sell for something like $149 (happens to every console).

300 buxll buy you a very decent vid card that will probably be way better than the ps2.
