Yeah.. So I'm camping out at Sam's Club

[RobertK]

Yeah... when we did that with the TMX Elmo they were up to $300 a piece for the first 12-14hrs after launch and then the bottom fell out and I only made $10 profit on each after shipping and all the auction fees.

I told the guy $2500.00 and he's sitting on it. Not trying to get greedy cause I think a $1700+ profit is fair for my 2 days spent camping for this thing.

[FredK]

Sweet. Hopefully you can get what you're asking for!

[Rigmaster]

You guys are nuts!! :)


I'm camping out at the Mongomery Ward waiting for the new Atari 2600 to be released!! They said it's 1000x times better than Pong or Intellivision, I think I'm gonna try to score Donkey Kong and Galaga with the console, WOOHOO!!!

Hmm Bret, 95% of the membership wasn't born in '81. They have no idea what Atari 2600 is. :mrgreen:

Yep.. Took 2.5 paid vacations days off. I love working for the state.

At 5AM the store manager gave us the 2 vouchers. At 7AM we redeemed the fuck out of them for $718.62 after tax. Price was $654 and some change for the bundle packs that Sam's was selling. As soon as I paid a guy offered $2000 cash for it but I declined. I told him I would take $3000 cash and he said he would call before lunch CST to let me know.

Tara seems to think I should ebay it considering the $5,000 price tags. I would rather take $3000 cash for it and not deal with eBay fees, Paypal fees, and the risk of getting defrauded.

I can't believe you turned down $2k cash for it.

I just looked on Ebay, 2400 and change for one. Why? would you spend 4 times as much for one of these when in a month or so inventory should be caught up with demand.

Is it like your existing PS II is dead? Supply and demand is great but 1800 other dollars I would rather go on a two week vacation or add to my IRA.

I listed it for $3000.01 "Buy-it-Now"

Guys wife said she didn't want him spending that much on a video game console and I don't blame him.

Does anyone know why some people's "Buy it Now" stays after people bid and on some auctions it goes aways after the first bid?

Like I said,

look at the username of the winning bidder, it's probably a professional football player

Depends if there is a reserve or not. If there is no reserve on the auction the BIN price will go away as soon as the first bid is placed. If there IS a reserve however, it will stay until that reserve has been met.

Thanks!

Just want to get $2000-$2500 for it. All proceeds go to my BMW. TY,
