Silver, I AGREE 46 hours for ONE is WAYYY too long. I don't consider it that bad since I got 6 though. I WOULD NEVER camp out for one to just play though. Video games are good, but not that good.

The first person (group) got there on Wednesday at 8 am. We were the 2nd group and got there at noon.

hey piston, let me buy a system off you for 700.......

 

[Silver 10+ year member]

Yeah, 2. One for buy it now 6 grand (ive seen a few go today for that much, worth a shot) One 3 day auction thats at 600 with 2 days 12 hours on it, or something like that, it started at 99 cents.
But it's cool, I remember when I was in HS or even my freshmen year in colllege, we'd be dumb and mess with people doin the same thing. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif I just like makin a point.

If that 6 grand works out you baught 6 ps3's??

3600$

6000-3600 = 2400$ profit for one ps3.

You have 5 or 4 left?

That is good you could possibly make alot from this.

I spent about 5400 total. I am selling 5, keeping 1.

900 (adding 300 per friend, 1 friend got 200 cuz he got there later lol) X 4 =3600

800 X 1 = obviously

600 from mine

I bought a couple heaters, paid for food the whole time for my friends....so maybe a tad less than 5400....

I wasn't gonna pay my friends to take off work, then spend $$ on food. Other people were gettin paid $100 or $50 to wait that long..That's a slap in the face IMO.

 

[Jared530 10+ year member]

that campout you hosted actually sounds like it could hav been fun. You got the heaters going, tons of food and beer just kickin back.,

Thats a big risk to take 5400?? I'm sure you can make good money though, but there are over 21000 items on ebay for ps3. Hell I even saw a display case go for 80$!!

Sell the ps3's and cases seperate haha.

Since you are owning one, was it worth 600$?

he also paid a nice chunk of change to find a scamming company who claimed they could sell him 20.

It actually was once the cops came by late Wednesday and said we could chill in our cars. People were allowed to go to McDonalds. We made a list of the first 40 people iN ORDER and when it came to line up, people went by the list. No mad dashes or anything. Everyone in line was cool and no one *****ed.

I went home twice to change clothes..ALOT of people left but just had their tent up or whatever...THE LIST WAS GOD.

It's sad the horror stories that happened at other places. People are so dumb

Yeah it was. NBA 2k7 leaves me breathless!! Plus I finally have a nice dvd player for my big screen. Would I wait in line for it though? No.

 

[Jared530 10+ year member]

hahahha the list was "God". thats funny. have the cop guard it with his life

 

[Silver 10+ year member]

Exactly, but it wasn't for the ps3. It was for the money. (for the most part, but there were fights about line cutting.

Some people are dumb for having 600$ cash, = instant mug in some areas.

 

[Pistonsfan70 10+ year member]

lol, no the cop didnt even know about it. Everyone in line was just cool and realized that if someone was there BEFORE them, then they deserve that spot. I was VERY surprised there was no drama.

 

[Pistonsfan70 10+ year member]

I had that in cash cuz my friends that came with me HAVE NO $$ lol and since it's one per customer, I can't pass my credit card around. It just stayed in the car the whole time.

i bought 4 on first run from reserve and sold all for of them. 700x4=2800 outta my pocket. 2500,2450,2555, 2350 were what they sold for so 9855-2800=7055 in my pocket. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif next batch of ps3's already has it's in store date for local best buys and guess who has recruited 3 people to get a 60gig at each location again?

 

[Silver 10+ year member]

Man these things are selling over 1700$ their origional price on ebay.

That would of been a good, fast investment for me.
