The ebay restriction for auctions on presales. People have been throwing around the $2000 number for awhile but I suspect a good deal of that is fraudulent auctions. How would it work?
A bunch of people put PS3 presale auctions up and make some new accounts to bid the price way up. By doing this the average auction price gets very high so when people start selling PS3's they can command higher prices. Of course this is just conspiracy theory but I did check auctions and there was some suspicious bidding going on. Same 0 feedback users bidding on 3 or 4 auctions, sometimes for the same seller...makes you wonder.
It'll be interesting to see how the PS3 stuff plays out. How much will people really pay for the system? How many people are going to want to buy the system when the hype dies down after Christmas? Will Sony move enough games to offset the ~$200 lost per console? When will they introduce their first price cut? How much will 360 and Wii cut into PS3 sales?
