Has anyone given in to the pressure and bought one of those ridiculously overpriced ps4's on adverts or dd??
yep - paid 100 over listed price last night, could have made 50 on it an hour laterThe notion they seem to think they can put a mark up of 50% and more in some cases for doin feck all baffles me! A couple of weeks and the shops will be flooded with the things I'm sure!
not sure why people are having a go at sellers, imo they can ask what they like, its not mandatory to pay for it - its business, buy low sell high, its not personal

Possibly because every person who is lucky enough to pick up a PS4 but uses their preorder, reservation etc... for the purposes of selling it for profit; deprives another person who genuinely wants one and may have been able to get it at face value if this person has not bought it; but now cannot afford the overinflated prices people are asking. Of course you could always say that if they really wanted one they should have preordered like all the rest. In any case, I think selling for massive profit is a little scummy. I have seen at least one advert already selling a PS4 from the 2nd batch at 650 euro plus!!0 -

remember sony has caused this by drip feeding - not the opportunist people
Yes, all part of the hype I suppose. People see a chance to make a quick buck. But that doesn't say much about your character in my view especially in the context that people are trying to secure these PS4's for Christmas. If I had bought a PS4 and decided because of the cost of the games, pants internet connection, don't have a hdmi input on my tv, brother bought one, sisters wedding coming up and need to sell it, got a new dog for xmas and he doesn't like consoles
etc..., I would sell it for face value because I would feel better about myself selling it to someone who genuinely wants it rather than screwing someone over who genuinely wants it. Why should I sell it for a profit ? What value do I add ? This happened for the PS2 launch with me. I didn't really like any of the launch games after trying them the day before at the booth in Smyths (when they were on Henry St. in Limerick), had the console paid off and simply sold it for what I paid, unopened. It's bad enough that companies are screwing us over with trade in prices (but they are a business and that's their purpose), that boardsies and others feel the need to do it and make up lame excuses. It's just how I feel and why I always try to set a fair price when I sell something on adverts. Although in some cases I'm likely ripping myself off 0 -
