Try tossing a salad or two, complain you have gonorrhea or AIDS to get some front-of-the-line sympathy

Where in Michigan do you live.  I think I\'m camping out with my buddy so we can sell them.

my cuz works at eastland mall at target. She said she can have me first in line to get one. But I don\'t want one. Give me a $100 bucks and Ill personally give you the spot. She will be working midnights when they bring em in she works their so she could probably hold one she been there for 7 years.

People waited a long time to go see Star Wars Episode 1.  Kind of hard to sell that on ebay.

And no, this guy is not going to make enough to cover not going to work by selling this thing.  Unless of course he only makes 40 bucks a day.

a friend took this pic around 8:30pm last night here at our local best buy (wednesday).  The line is twice as long now.  Circuit city down the street only had like 4 people in front of it when I drove by today at lunch. :shrug:

I\'m starting to think of the potential profit of mugging geeks.

Title: Getting to the store early
Post by: FatalXception on November 16, 2006, 02:03:23 PM

Looks like some of the PS3s IN HAND from Japan are selling for below MSRP on Ebay... perhaps people don\'t want to be gouged that bad.  Course, you still see lots selling for 2-5k, as well.
