Is there a secret to obtaining systems before hand? Do you have to jack a truck on the Jersey Turnpike? Or do you just pre-order and then hope you get a system to go along with your auction?

Its really not....
Walk in to your local gamestore and pre-order one. Put down $50 cash, credit, whatever. Pick it up and sell it for a potential to make 500% off your initial investment.

Then you have to deal with fleabay or wherever you are going to sell it. No thanks. I'll go buy myself one when they come down in price.

Hey, 1 more for me. To each his own, but I don't think your lack of knowledge of how ebay works should detour you.

Yep, though I got burned by a couple of 360 pre-orders at EBgames. The trick is to start your auction(1 day auction) the day before launch.
Overall I got 9 360s but my timing was off. I was never able to sell one for more than $1200. It was frustrating when you watched some of the Core systems get over $2000.
