Man, I just don\'t get it. I understand the fever to want a new system but in a few months when they\'re on every shelf in every frigg\'n store at its retail price don\'t these morons who pay this kind of money feel like idiots?

Plus the price it will command on ebay will drop by the day, so it\'s harder to pin it down. The first couple Xbox 360\'s went for like 4k, I think.

banning the sales of "pre-sales"
saving tons of grief for ebay, and potential buyers.

if the prices hit 1500$, i\'m selling both of mine.

I\'d like to point and laugh at those who can barely make ends meet and yet still buy a PS3 for $1500.

i see.  thank you for clarifying that.  Didn\'t know the seller screen name was also relaxasaurus.


So, THX, this is your PS3 that you are selling on ebay?  cool.  I now also notice a receipt stapled on the box.  The receipt looks like it was bought from Best buy.

My guesstimate for your PS3 is 750-850.
Title: How much will the PS3 go for on eBay?
Post by: GmanJoe on December 19, 2006, 02:07:16 PM
$550

$1600? think your expectations are a little high.

I\'d say u spent like $850 on the game, cable, extra controller, and the ps3; so i think ull get like $930 at best

Target had 15 ps3\'s comes in my cousin bought 2 for someone. They are slowing being available I see no reason to ebay. Unless you just want to give away money. I know the last time I went into best buy there were 5 in the store I saw someone buy one.

hmmm...so it seems the best time to have made the most from ps3 was when it first came out...looks like that ebaying it now, you\'re barely pulling a profit....

how sad thx.  at least you are cool about it.

Maybe bidding more than 1 cent maybe a better start if one want to get some profit as it might gives them a better chance to get some profit...or maybe the bidding should have been longer than 1 day?

PS3\'s are getting more and more available.  Of several stores I\'ve been too in the last week there have been PS3\'s in stock, namely the 60GB version.  I hung out for a while at Wal-mart today, trying to pick out a new PS2 game, and all the customers that came through the video game section went straight to the Nintendo section, a couple went to the 360, and NOBODY even looked at the PS3s in stock.  teh funny.  Hopefully this will wake Sony up and they\'ll drop the price soon.

If you\'re looking to make some money, try finding a Wii or DS.  They\'re both fetching some decent profit.

EDIT:  Oh, and I picked up Shadow of the Colossus in case you were wondering which game I chose.

part of it has to be game selection. I mean..resistance is it. and resistance isnt worth 700 bucks.

good choice on SOTC btw

Where I live, there are no PS3 60GB available. They get bought up like the Wii.

But right now...more people are looking for the Wii coz it\'s got a more non-gamer friendly contoller. It\'s not exactly competing with the 360 or PS3 but it will keep Nintendo happy for a long time.

I also heard that Sony is considering using a similar motion detecting controller like the Wiimote. The console apparently is capable of doing what the Wii console can do. This is still a rumor, though.

BTW....I read somewhere that Sony finally fixed its manufacturing bottle neck. Seems like Sony is well on its way to shipping, if not selling, over 1 million units by the end of this year.
