well me and my cousin are splitting the profit since we bout them together and payed for everything. ive seen people with way more then that and besides, half of the people in the line we were in planned on selling them on ebay. last i checked there was over 17,000 listed on ebay. a good portion of the U.S. shipment is being resoldMr.Metal wrote:5?!?!?!atoal wrote: i've got 5 of em on ebay, well me and my cousin do. we spent around 30 hours in line freezing our asses of. i hate Iowa weather.
Come on, 2 or 3 I understand, but 5???
That is pretty shitty, oh well...I guess you dont care anyway, u will get your money.
well from what i understand (we did a lot of researching on this) best buy was guaranteed a minimum of 26 to most of their stores. between my cousin, 3 of our friends, and myself we were the last 5 people in line.MetDream wrote:How did you do that?

It's not about being a hardcore gamer or not and its definately not that we MIGHT consider it greedy, we DO CONSIDER it greedyeven13flow wrote:Well, last night wasn't as profitable as I thought.

but anyway, the real issue is that I see it as something unethical...specially since many people who wanted to get it to actually play it didn't get one and quite honestly if I didn't get one just because the person in front of me got it only to sell it for 3 times the price, I would totally kick his ass. But I guess as long as there are idiots who pay 3 times the price, there will be people selling it...at the end is only about the money.
I guess when they have been doing that since the Gamecube and PS2 came out, people are just waiting for someone to do it.

Ant that's about 3-4 times what they're sold for in stores. You should be happy.even13flow wrote:Well, last night wasn't as profitable as I thought. One sold for $1867 and the other sold for $1625.
