[IEatFriedPikmin]

this is the third thread about this... but if you havent opened up your 360 yet, you should strongly consider this.

but the question comes in: should i sell mine now? shortly after thanksgiving? or a week before christmas?

[D3adcell]

I hate these people that buy it just to make money. I would have had one at sams club, some douche says "i'm just buying it to resell. I plan to get atleast 700$ for it".

[Eidorian]

Sell it NOW.

I dont see a problem with it. really, if you had one, and you could choose whether to keep it, or sell it for this much, what would you do??

[D3adcell]

If you want money you should get a job, not take someone elses 360 and have the price gauged to shit. I mean if that guy in line wasnt going to be buying it just to sell that could have been my 360.

[IEatFriedPikmin]

i do have a job. i cant imagine anyone buying one without a job.
all i have got to say is early bird gets the worm. if i want to wait 9 hours just to sell mine, i dont see what is wrong with that.

plus, my profit will go towards paying for college.

[D3adcell]

I'm not saying you. I'm saying the people that try and horde them that dont play games at all or anything. Like when best buy has sales they go and buy all the good games and resell them online, etc.

Oh well if I should be mad at anyone it should be myself for not getting their earlier or microsoft for not shipping more.

[IEatFriedPikmin]

yah, that does suck. i see what you mean. i would probably feel a lot different if it were the revolution.


i am extremely tempted to just open mine up right now. It is just sitting there... sealed on my bed. The thought comes to mine that very few people have one of these things. I could be playing call of duty 2 right now. I constantly have to remind myself that i will be making 2x what its worth on ebay.

[dncardman]

$2,500?!? These people are idiots, I should bought one just to sell it.

[Kliq]

I prop the people who resell, because they're only doing the same thing you and I would do to make some quick, easy cash.

However, the idiots who actually spend quadruple the money because they're impatient and were too stupid to pre-order deserved to be smacked and have too much money.

[Cofey]

I say strike while the iron's hot. Nobody knows when more will become available. It could be tomorrow, as highly unlikely as that may seem. But why take the risk of prices going down? Even if they go up, a $600 profit now is nothing to sneeze at. Would you really be that upset if a week later you could have made $200 more?

[dork]

Open and play with it. Be happy.

[Mecha Richter]

Sell that shit, and buy one again later on.

That's some mad bucks right there.

Think thats crazy? Check this out $9,100

[chrismt]

WOW you could buy THREE Alienware PCs with that money. Some dedicated (read stupid) people there.

[IEatFriedPikmin]

mine just sold for $735.09... not too shabby.

it shot up $100 the last minute.

[henryhund]

I'm waiting to sell mine. Sitting on the floor of my room. Premium system. Call of Duty 2. Perfect Dark 0.

I could have gotten several thousands of dollars if I had put it up for auction to end the morning of the 21st. I waited a few hours, and the price went down to $1000 or less.

The price is going to go up, unless Microsoft releases a lot more. In which case I can take the system back for a full refund. Or keep it, which would be cool. But 15,000 of the current 16,000 auctions are ending within the next 7 days. By that time I bet ebay will be dry... and parents will be desperate.

[IEatFriedPikmin]

i should have definitly thought about that.

after paying ebay, paypal, and my brother, i got about $200 profit.
