^you ripped someone off then...the only auctions that are over $1000 include a ton of stuff or are "IN HAND" and not "Presale"

if you can make that much, more power to ya though.

11/14/2006 12:13:32 PM

hahaha- not true..... there are no "in hand" listings (at least that i have seen skimming the last fe days) and the presales all are bundled with a couple games- as as mine- 2 games and HDMI-


All the ones i ebay will be bundled as well- there are basic systems selling for $1600-

as an example (take not of auction end) - THE VERY FIRST LISTING is just the basic console and sold for $2225-

hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha........no

not even close actually


but seriously, what best buy are you going to? I think wednesday night is overkill, going thursday around 7am should give you plenty of time

11/14/2006 12:47:49 PM

im stealin this idea and running with it.

Anyone who wants me to stand in line and rent "the Breakup" for them call me and Ill get a notary together and you can pay me 3.28 to wait in line at Blockbuster for you.

Once I leave the store, you can have the movie, but as our contract will state, youll need to return it within 2 days before 12noon to that store to avoid my account getting charged for the late fees.

Im also going to mcdonalds tomorrow too, if anyone wants me to pick them up a bigmac, let me know and we can work out the contract details later.

11/14/2006 12:53:26 PM

i kid...i kid. its a great idea. good luck making some quick cash. i hope it doesnt snow.

11/14/2006 12:54:28 PM

^^^ that was a hypothetical based on how many they purchased diveded by number of stores-

eat a dick n00b- not tossing around my ebay info... i don;t trust TWW-

11/14/2006 1:03:17 PM

pretty much your plan is to screw everyone over who will wait for a ps3 and to charge them 900.

also, how do you have 10 friends to agree to this? what will you be paying them?

11/14/2006 1:03:25 PM

u people suck- hahaha. I am no longer taking any other buyers- i am booked......

i can;t believe how gay this thread has become-

and screwing people who want to buy 1?

welcome to the real world

11/14/2006 1:04:34 PM

This thread should have been aborted before the first post.

11/14/2006 1:06:50 PM

i wonder how many people plan on driving around harassing people in these lines. I thought i remember hearing people talk about water balloons during the 360 campout.....

11/14/2006 1:30:18 PM

11/14/2006 1:31:56 PM

^^ great idea

11/14/2006 2:11:47 PM

so all these people trying to buy systems...what games are you buying? or are you just going to let it sit and collect dust until a decent games released

11/14/2006 2:19:58 PM

11/14/2006 2:24:34 PM

The only person in this thread that believes you is you, and you're only lying to yourself.

Post the ebay link, don't be a pussy.

11/14/2006 3:06:01 PM

sweet, i just ordered mine off ebgames website.

overnight shipping = me not working thursday and friday!!1

11/14/2006 3:40:46 PM

man i sense A LOT of jealousy in this thread....he has this plan figured out, he has filled 10 orders, there is going to be a shortage of PS3's and regardless of whether you guys like/want/hate/love the PS3, there are going to be plenty of people out there that won't get one and will pay to get one. In case you guys don't remember how much ps2's and xbox's were going for on ebay. I know people got stuck with 360's but that is b/c they released plenty. There won't be enough released before christmas,
so people ARE going to make money on these.

11/14/2006 3:41:52 PM

^^THERES NONE ONLINE...LINK THEN?

11/14/2006 3:42:22 PM

^ off of the EBGAMES WEBSITE

Quote :

"Due to the high demand and limited availability of the PlayStation 3 system, we will begin offering online bundles only after our initial in-store pre-orders are filled, which is anticipated before Christmas. We will update this page when new information is available."

def not getting one shipped overnight.... at least not til after christmas

11/14/2006 3:44:18 PM

haha, you guys are a bunch of fags

11/14/2006 3:44:55 PM

nah, i just want to buy more than 1 cause i need some money, its such easy money. ill buy any i see...

11/14/2006 3:47:41 PM

umm did you look at the ebay listing you posted? it was obviously bid on by "scammers" who bid exorbitant amounts then ask you to send it to nigeria...http://cgi.ebay.com/SONY-PLAYSTATION-3-PS3-60-GIG-PRE-SALE_W0QQitemZ290049606387QQihZ019QQcategoryZ62054QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
yes, they will go for more than you paid...will you make $1200? not likely. You said before you could sell it with extras for 1800, but you will have to pay for the extras you include, so youre not going to make 1200
btw it'd be funny as hell if someone went and water ballooned you guys or something

w/e- I did not notice that/ however u people hate waaaaaay too much- it's kinda funny.

Click closed listings- first page the cheapes one is $1200, second cheapest $1300, and every other one is $1600 and up with about 19 of them at $1800 and a few bundles over $2000-

no matter what way u look at it- or as much as u want to bullshit about it. at a bare minimum one can expect a 100% profit- Spend $600 and make $600- not a whole lot of investments out there that yield that return-

i quit..... getting the tents ready

How many hours are you spending out there and what does that work out to for an hourly rate?

11/14/2006 5:22:57 PM

12 hours of sitting around to make $50/hr profit.....not too bad

11/14/2006 5:26:56 PM

well lets say 24 straight hours- If i were to purchase one PS3 at $600 and sell it for the absolute lowest price possible (which the average is much higher and after the launch and sell out prices are going to skyrocket)

that would be $25 an hour for sitting around playing games all day.

On top of that, lets say hypotheticall (as i will not disclose my real cut) i sell 13 (number of consoles and people camping out) at $900 that is $300 per console profit. That is $3900

I get 4 for myself and sell on ebay- investmentL $2400 profit (at minimum) $2400

total: profit is $6300 divided by 24 hours of "work-lol" is $262.50 per hour


any other questions smart ass?

wow- that is something to think about.... damn- 100 ?????

i wonder how many the other locations will have

11/14/2006 5:31:03 PM

We all know you aren't going to post links to your auctions anyway, and of course you won't admit when you don't sell this things for these fanciful figures that you continue to throw out. So, it's pretty pointless for me to care. I'm just trolling you.

Bottom line, you aren't going to make near dick what you think you will. Apparently you forgot how guys got XBOXs the day they came out thinking they would sell them for the same figures that the "pre-order ebay listings" went for and didn't make dick on them.

But feel free to waste your time out there.

11/14/2006 5:31:47 PM

hahaha- so what u are really sayin is---

"i am a retard and have no clue what I am talking about- You on the other hand ncemt_03 have done a ton of research, have signed contracts and planned everything to a point where it is almost flawless- have no initial investment of any sort (hence nothign to lose). I am a broke dick who can't afford charity, and am jealous of your current situation"

I understand- no biggie.

btw: no one was hurting when the 360s dropped- and a year later they still have held their retail price selling used

11/14/2006 5:35:05 PM

Funny, you're so confident yet you can't post one shred of evidence to your legitimacy. PS, my bank accounts make the profit you are dreaming of (and will never see) whimper in comparison.

11/14/2006 5:36:59 PM

i am sure- and this is why u spend your time trolling classifieds..... And what more evidence do u want? I have posted links to prices of systems, retail of systems, profit ratio-

what the fuck? In no way am I posting my ebay acount on here as I wouldn;t post phone number )in most cases) or anything that holds a privacy value......

ur a fuckstick man- and I guarantee u don;t make in a month what anyone with enough motivation can make in one day doing this
BTW: the thousands of investors selling multipl units on ebay now and after launch...i bet they are fools to huh?

get a life dude- u have spent more time trolling this thread then I have spent renigging, responding to pms from both people who want to buy and camp, and emailing other potential investors.

11/14/2006 5:41:03 PM

many circuit city retailers are having like block parties and shit starting at 9, and those all have the 100 systems, the store in NY is giving away 100 systems!!!!!

11/14/2006 5:49:03 PM

the WII preorders arent even making it to the $50 deposit price.

11/14/2006 5:51:29 PM

if every circuit city is in fact going to have 100 PS3s then it sounds like they won't have a massive out of stock situation and should be able to meet most of the demand i would think

11/14/2006 5:59:09 PM

dohmfg ive done research and know what a contract is!!1 lolololoo im teh winz

11/14/2006 6:00:22 PM

i still can't figure out why people are pay $texas and going through so much effort for a PS3. i'd rather wait a few months pay 1/4 the price and just walk in the store an grab one. think about it omg i want to pay an extra $500 to play the newest video games b4 the rest of my friends
