I know one of our members is trying this and I was thinking about posting this in his thread, but I thought that would be wrong.
So in any event, I might as well post it here.
IMO, this practice of buying Xbox's and reselling them, on ebay or anywhere, is the equivalent of scalping tickets at hockey games. Some people are just plain greedy to do such a thing.
I also have a friend of mine who will be doing the same thing and he justifies it as follows:
-Buy xbox360 for like 500 bucks.
-Sell on ebay for 1500-2000 bucks.
-Buy new computer.
I don't know who's worse, the first customer/seller or the manufacturer Microsoft for limiting volumes to perpatrate such a buy/sell frenzy to cause so much hype around the sale.
Does anyone else think the same way? Discuss.
