100+? The 360 shortage had Xbox's on eBay going for well over a $1000. The PS3 will probably hit the $2000 mark in eBay land around Christmas time...

Getting a PS3 and then selling it on eBay is guaranteed minimum of $200 profit, and I'd say on average closer to $400. And if you've got some marketing skillz and know the exact timing, you could definitly get about $1000.

Wait...screw this...I'm SOOO preordering a PS3! Dude, yes! The Nmaster's buyin' a PS3! Thank you $1500 credit limit...thank you...

Autocon is an unknown quantity at this point
Add a "Buy it now" of $1500 or more, plus "Will ship to Europe/Asia" and you are almost guaranteed to sell out as soon as you post it on eBay with a huge profit.

It makes sense now. Sony delayed Europe's release so they can simply sell their stock on Ebay instead. "Who cares about customer satisfaction... More money!" <3

edit: Holy ****! PS3 for 200! BUY BUY BUY! http://cgi.ebay.ca/Sony-Playstation-...QQcmdZViewItem

It still has 3 days left to go, so he will probably get more than just $200... I can't believe there are actually idiots willing to buy that! I'd just get a gmail or something with ps3 in the name.

Something tells me they're his friends... Amusing though.

Why would his friends bid? It's more than likely a bunch of noobs placed their bids before reading extremely carefully, it happens all over Ebay.
