Funny ebay auction.

Ok I am not a fan out sitting in long lines at a store and waiting for a game system but I guess this guy did and now he is selling his PS3 on ebay. Check out his auction and read the bottom where he talks about what he went through to get his. I got a pretty good laugh out of it...

Cool Nice!!!

Thanks for sharing that HILARIOUS story! I LOVED IT! I actually tried to get in line at a 24 hour Wal-Mart, but there were already more people there than systems, so I left. A lot of people turned a nice profit on that thing, but I don't think anyone can match that guy's story!!!

Yeah I think next time they come out with a new system I am going to go to ebgames or something and reserve one. You cant beat buying it for $600 and turning around and selling it for like 1500...

I guess its all about supply and demand

Easy money. In a few weeks, you will be able to buy them anyplace. Those that just have it now, pay for it. Morons.

That's too funny...mean, but effective. That's what the nerds get for treating the others like crap. (no pun intended)

The only thing I saw funny about that one is a buy it now price of nearly $6000. Otherwise it looks like guy wants to make sure there is no way he can possibly get screwed. His model must be nightmare Barbie.
