RedRocket1647545505 Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 I'm trying to decide on if I should buy a few PS3's and Wii's to turn a profit on. I would guess these will be in hot demand for Christmas, and am thinking I could Ebay the shit out of them. Late shopping soccer moms FTW? The price tag has my scared though. So, good investment or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morabu Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 good luck getting one! i plan on TRYING to get 1 PS3 at launch, and i highly doubt if i will be able to get it let alone 2-3! but if you were to try and get one i wopuld say the PS3 as the Wii will have more than enough from the manufacturing plant, contrary to speculation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloodRed Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 I would pass on buying the Wii's and trying to resell them, go for the PS3. I am not sure how high the demand for the Wii is going to be when it comes out. I mean even if you pick up one of them and sell it for $100-200 more, you still made a profit. And if you want one for yourself just wait a bit and they will be sitting on the shelves again after Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsey Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 I am a everyday ebay user/watcher and I saw all preorder 360s go for up to twice cost and then once they were released, they sold for face value or maybe little profit. My suggestion is sell early as you can and as a preorde (with shipping same day as release). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Karacho1647545492 Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 the PS3 is waaaay too pricey as it is, so the profit margin would probably be pretty slim. as far as the Wii goes, Nintendo is sending a vast number of consoles stateside. i heard somewhere near half a million PS3's will be here for launch, and that by the end of the year about 2 million will be released. the Wii's goal for the end of 06 is 4 million, so the abundance could hurt you.

Akula Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 I would buy a corporate suite at the shoe and hock tickets for next year, that'd prolly turn a profit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tshensley Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 I plan on getting 1-2 p3's but not the Wii. The word is Nintendo will have enough for everyone so no go there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morabu Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 like i said above good luck getting 2-3 PS3's let alone 1 you know all the stores are gonna have a one per customer limit, and your never gonna be able to go to another store and get another on in time so you better bring a friend! you cannot sell the ps3 as a preorder item, they took all of them down from the site a few days ago and are threatening to close accounts if you post them after they removed them and put up a reminder, so you will have to have the item in your posession BEFORE you are allowed to post them item, so basically you are not allowed post for sale before launch day Sony is only shipping 400,000 PS3's for the ENTIRE USA so think about how many are going to be in each state and then how many each store chain gets, and then divide that by the amount of stores in the chain, and you will come up with a very horribly low #, probably something like 3-5 per store and THAT'S IT!! however....if i can get my hands on even 1, i see NO REASON why i wouldn't be able to sell the damn thing for anywhere from $1200-1800 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tshensley Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 Ebay already has a few on there for presale. They just have to have picture proof of purchase shown, feedback rating of 50 or over, and a few other things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheHaze Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 Sony already said all current preorders were sold out. I read the PS3 was going to be more scarce on launch then the 360. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
