PS3 Reselling - Repost, most likely.

[Safeway]

How many of you are planning on sharking PS3s?

If so, what do you think they'll sell for?

 

[Anubis]

thousands

 

[imported_Mike]

To try to guess maximum profits right now is pretty hard to do. I will be "sharking" as many as I can.

 

[Koing]

I'm going to get as many s I can get my hands on

I will be buying multiple ones. I ended up with 6 XBOX 360s and hope to have more PS3s. Secret is having them online the day before launch and ship them launch morning/afternoon. I will be paying a couple people to wait in various lines, as well as multiple pre-orders and online orders.

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.

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?

Find out the day that stores start taking preorders and be one of the first on the preorder list.

You would be correct.

 

[Feldenak]

Too much trouble.

 

[Schfifty Five]

I am going to preorder, 2 at least.

If they don't sell well, I'll return it.

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.

 

[apinomus]

I'll be sharking

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.

It's not a lack of knowledge of how eBay works...it's dealing with the dipsh!t buyers.

 

[imported_Mike]

Meh, if you cover your tracks, there is nothing to really deal with. Like I said, to each his own.

:beer:

oh gee, you poor baby. you only got $1200
you got like 3 times the price for one and you're complaining?

 

[DaFanMan]

Hoping to secure 1 or maybe 2 to resell, kicking myself for not doing so with the 360

Nope, your reading comprehension is befitting of the level of intelligence you display.

I just hope it's not too cold when camping out for the PS3. It was a bit nippy here waiting for the 360.
