Wait, that was today?
Huh. My need for a PS3 was completely satiated by a blueberry muffin and some orange juice.

I notice they're 3 grandish on eBay.... that's REAL stupid.

yeah, screw "full" price, how about $15,100? I just saw one sell, from a seller with 1007 positive feedback, to a legit looking bidder with 42 positive. Can this be for real? WTF is going on?!

That can't possibly be real. If there are other PS3's going for $1500-3000 there's no way someone will actually pay that much. I think it's just people f'ing up other people's auctions.
- BLINGMW - 11-17-2006
it's gotta be... but it was multiple people, with good feedback bidding in the last few minutes as well. I have not seen one go for 1500 though. They're mostly 3-4k at auction end right now.
but on the bright side... at least most of have free shipping! :lol:
*edit* make that 3-5k. At least 2 of the last five were almost 5k :dunno:

some people have A LOT more money than you and i... that money to them is like a dollar to us.

5k...damn i cannot imagine how crazy it would be if you could go back in time to the NES age...and tell some kid that 20 years from now a brand new game system will cost you the same as a small car :lol:

yeah, but 20 years ago, you'd also be pretty sure it'd be a flying car! :?

Mike Wrote:Sure. But even rich guys can look and see, "Hmm, here are like 20 auctions for $3000, and...here's one for $15,000." Of course it could just be some stupid rich dude who doesn't know how to use ebay.G.Irish Wrote:That can't possibly be real.

i'd imagine there are people who really don't even care about that... they see one pop up, click buy it now and they're done.

They're RIIICH biatch!
- G.Irish - 11-17-2006
Who knows, maybe Warren Buffet jumped on there and set his max bid at $25k or something. At any rate there are over 7000 PS3's on ebay right now. At this rate I bet the going rate will fall down towards $1000-1500 within 2 or 3 days and under $1000 in a week. Probably much less than that.
Still looks like there are a few 0 feedback guys busting auctions.

In other news, I gave a halfhearted attempt at acquiring a Wii today.
I'll just wait until, you know, you can buy them without driving all over the goddamn state.
- G.Irish - 11-19-2006
There should be another shipment in for Black Friday. 4 million Wii's should be shipped by the end of the year.
Looks like the PS3 prices fell faster than I'd thought. It'll be interesting to see if it spikes when it gets closer to Christmas.
- Feersty - 11-19-2006
I went to Best Buy today and saw graphics for PS3 on one of the basketball games, its really crisp but you can still tell you are playing a video game.
