Thats a 381% Return On Investment in a 48 hour period. Only other thing I can think of that makes those kind of ROI's are drugs! :shocked:
Ha ha, I make more than that at work.

Well, I'm back from camping since Wednesday afternoon and landed (7) 60GB PS3's.
I waited a total of 44 hours! But I had my 2 bro's in line with me and one friend.
My plan was to buy 3 at Circuit City, 2 at Gamestop on Reserve and 2 at EB Games on Reserve.
At 12 PM Wednesday I landed with my crew and camping gear: (2) 4 man Tents, (4) Slumber bags rated for 30 degree weather, (2) Air mattress with memory foam, tent heaters, portable dvd player, Creative Zen Vision M MP3 Player, Laptops, Blankets, Ice Chest, small table, extension cords, power strip and some other protection stuff like knives.... for the Rotessiere chicken of course
Wednesday:
We camped at 12 at CC, and were numbers 1 - 3 out of 6 being given out. My other buddy keeping one for himself bought one.
First night was relatively cool with some gusty winds. Killed time browsing the web, since CC had an open Wi-Fi connection along with some other homes across the street broadcasting a signal.
Slept like a baby in my warm tent watching movies and "the office"
Thursday:
In the morning I left to go home about 15 minutes away to take a shower, shave and eat a nice warm fresh breakfast. Put on some fresh clothes and head back to the camp site. No clouds and temps were in the upper 60's. During the afternoon I posted some ads in Craigslist and recieved a couple phone calls. Later that night I left again around 11PM to pickup my fiancee because we had 2 pre-orders and were #1 and #2 at Gamestop. We got to Gamestop around 12AM Friday (Thursday Night) because the manager was doing a midnight launch. I picked up 2 more there and took off to drop off my first sale for $1800 cash! We met at a Walmart (lol) inside a Mcdonalds. Called him when I got to Walmart and concealed the stupid PS3 inside a bag and put it into a push basket. lol, felt like a drug deal going down. 2 guys showed up... said this was their 5th PS3 that their boss had bought. Boss was gonna give them away as an incentive promotion for his employees and gifts. Boss was apparently loaded, since he sent he workers to pick them up. Got my cash and went our seperate ways. Went back to Circuit City and chilled until the manager came out around 5AM and gave us vouchers so we could leave and come back to pick them up later.
Friday:
Friday Morning (6AM) went to eat at Denny's. Then went back to Circuit City for the 8AM Launch. Picked up 3 more for $610 EACH after tax! I had a coupon from Fat Wallet "$40 off any $199 purchase or more" I asked the manager if we could use these and she said "Sure, why not!" WOOT!!! Walked out of CC with 3 PS3's and received about 8 phone calls and some guy wanted 2 for Xmas gifts. Met him at a bank where he pulled up in an BMW M5 with his 2 kids. Sold 2 more to him for $3000 together! Second transaction completed smoothly. 3 PS3's down, 4 to go...... got some more phone calls and someone wanted 2 PS3's. Told them to meet me at my office at 10:30 AM were we have security and cameras. Guy showed up and sold 2 more as a bundle for $3400! Third transaction completed smoothly. 5 PS3's down 2 to go.
11AM recieved 2 phones calls.... I told them $1700 first come first serve. A guy and girl show up and fork over $3400 for both systems. Final transaction completed! (7) PS3's all sold within an 8 hour time frame.
Total Revenue: $11,600
My Investment: $4430
Profit: $7170

13,000 PS3 listings on eBay. The average closing price is still pretty high, but not as high as last night (about 20-30% less).
Price should drop even more tomorrow, when the first listings from campers start to end.

How did you keep your listing on CL? Mine keeps getting removed for TOC violations.
It is just pissed off gamers clicking the report button. Argh.

id think the prices would go up in a week when there are no more PS3s out there and there would still be some desperate buyers

Watch for the smashmyps3 PS3 unit to be on ebay in the upcoming weeks.
They did the same thing last year with the 360, not sure how much it fetched in the end.
Same store that had the bb shooting. Unfortunately, this is my local best buy, sad to know everything that goes on around here. I shop there all the time.Originally posted by: mzkhadir
