PS3 preorders being sold on Ebay

[Darksaviour69]

Yeah that right, people are selling their preorders of PS3 on ebay, and with a big profit! Just look here (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=ADME:L:EOISSAA:US:11&item=200036296954) , a preorder sold for $999.99, that's a $500 profit!

Making a quick search (http://search.ebay.com/ps3-preorder_W0QQfromZR40QQfsooZ1QQfsopZ1QQsbrsrtZl) on ebay and you find that there are a dozens more bidding between $750- $1000 and "Buy It Now"s between $1000-$18000.... crazy prices and there is no grantee that they will get the console!

digg it (http://digg.com/gaming_news/PS3_preorders_being_sold_on_Ebay)

Its odd because it is illegal to pre sale something you don't own and in this case ebay members don't own the actual console. And if it was a store owner that was posting his future shipment from his store to sell on ebay it still wont be aloud. Ebay had taken lots of those presales auctions off. but i guess it is hard to get them all at ones even with the thousands of people working for them.

This is someone SELLING a link to a website taking preorders. How low can you get?

quite low apparently, but my friend is going in on this stuff with his dad, for a nice profit. sorta wish i could too, but then that would REALLY be taking advantage of stupid people...:(

I think it's crazy to pay even $500 for a toy...
But when you pay the double of the price you have to be rich and stupid!
