Hey, I'd be doing it too if I had $600 play with. If people are stupid enough to pay $3k for one, that's their choice. Why not exploit them?

This same thing happened when PS2, Xbox, and Xbox 360 first game out. This is proof that people are idiots.

I heard on the radio today that a guy bought a PS3 off of Ebay for $9,000, and then 15 mintues later they announced that another one sold for $9,100! People are crazy, especially the ones who camped out for days in order to get one, just to sell it!

There's a lot of them up for sale with bids over $2k. If peeps have that much money to throw away, I wish they would throw some my way. Sheesh.

Lol yea, some guy evidently quit his job to wait in line a full 8 or 9 days before the PS3 came out, and another called in sick and postponed the buying of a engagement ring for his girlfriend to buy a PS3 and wait in line

There are lots of people with lots of money in this country that don't mind paying to get it.

$9000!
No matter how filthy rich you are or how spoiled you may be, it's still to much.
If you pay for something over 10x what it's worth, you're an idiot.
