i'm surprised people are bothering. there'll be plenty come q2/3 next year, just like the 360. there are some great launch games there alright, but nothing worth all this bother...

Hobbes

$19,000 !! Is someone on crack?

Paul Tergat

The winning bid has 0 feedback! won't be going for that price methinks

j4vier

ehehe no way that guy is gonna pay 19000
poor seller that has to pay up for the fees in advance, it always takes time to solve a non payment dispute

god's toy

Yet more bargains! Get em wile there hot! http://cgi.ebay.com/SONY-PLAYSTATION-3-CONSOLE-60GB-PS3-PREMIUM-FREE-S-H_W0QQitemZ270056321808QQihZ017QQcategoryZ62054QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

A lot of ps3 auctions are being sabotaged by disgruntled fans who missed out on the launch. Still, 45000 is a bargain, especially since 75% is going to the red cross :rolleyes:

j4vier

question from that auction

Q: Are you serious or just extremely retarded?

If he was selling concert tickets at that price he'd be called a parasite, why is touting a console ok?

He doesnt care enough about the world to give it all to chrity though, does he.:)

Can someone explain WHY people are even buying the consoles at such mark-ups??
I've seen 1, maybe 2 launch games that remotely interest me -- what are the killer apps?

Also, stupid Japs buying into yet another sh!tty Gundam game -- why are they sooo predictable??

the seller from the orginal link says this:
I have 2 specific rules for bidding on this auction: No negative or zero feedback bidders please. I never do that, but this is a sensitive and rare item, so no zero or negative bidders. Your bids will be cancelled

the guy has no feedback.........

Davidius

God damn. I would've loved to sell one on eBay.

I guess I can wait about 5 years for another shortage of a new console.

Holy mother of God, nuts!

In fairness, whoever has a million to blow on a console could have hired someone to wait in line for a week. Does anyone know what the highest price one has actually changed hands for?

robinph

For only $1million, that's a real bargain that is. Someone should snap that one up.

$89,000,000

I just read on Google news that ebay has sold 20,000 PS3s already!!

Avg. price $1,400

robinph

It seems that there are some real bargains to be had out there though, although only if you don't live in Boston then you'll have to pay for your own shipping:

PS3 going real cheap

ZygOte

i got mine for $1080 including two games, so not bad
on the downside ups shipping just rang to tell me i owe another €160 in god damned duty.

Armen Tanzarian

Okay. There is a search feature in e-bay.

This thread was valid and could remain valid, but I'm going to start assuming that any links to systems for sale on ebay which do not have something particularly note-worthy about them is pimping their own kit. Pimping your own sales can result in a siteban.

Fizman

2 PS3's with Dublin location just went for €790/€800, seller is advertising they will accept €800 and ship for free in Ireland. Somethin bout this seems a bit fishy. Its an Irish (PAL) version?? And a free game! (Doesnt state what game tho hmmm.
