Sony banning ps3 sales on ebay?

[muffinman]

I was in my local game shop today a little place, which I enjoy visiting for the general banter etc and when discussing with the man behind the till about ps3 pre-orders (which he told me they should be taking from next wednesday or thursday and the major companies should be following suit) he told how the there was discussion of how th sale of ps3's on sites such as ebay would be stopped, stateing however he would have further knowledge and confirmation come wednesday.
Now I have also been told this be the manager of my local Game and don't know the amount of truth behind it. I mearly want to buy and sell some ps3's to cover the cost of my own, but if selling them is banned i would be stuck with them.
all i wish to know is if anybody else has heard anything like this or seen anything posted about this. If you have could you post the source of the article here.

anyways
thanks

So you are one of the people that buys several at launch and sells the extra at a higher price to get profit? I really do hope you do get stuck with PS3s that you can't sell.

You can always manage to sell extra PS3's at launch.
I think he was just asking though.

even if ebay dont allow you to sell em there are other trusted bidding sites just search google and look for sponsered ones or something.

Also, I can't recall any instance of eBay refusing to allow people to sell a product because a large company "didn't like it". That goes rather against eBay's history, tradition, and even policy. There's nothing illegal about people reselling consoles and there's nothing violating eBay's terms of service. I can't see them making one exception because Sony didn't want it to happen.

Personally, I disagree with the practice of people buying up more than one console just to turn a profit. But that doesn't mean that there are legal grounds for Sony to stop it. You can always sell it to a friend on in a local ad in town. Stopping eBay won't stop the process.

o_O At that, I really don't even think Sony is going to do anything.

Why.. it's always good to make money.

hell i'd do it if I had the money.

I wonder how Sony would ever get people to stop selling PS3 on ebay.

Become a reseller and sell them for however much you think people are willing to spend.

its just like how its illegal, where I am to sell tickets for profit (scalping)

so i dont know... i doubt they could inforce it... same principal

I don't think ebay should ban the sales of PS3's. But on the other hand I've always disliked the practice of buying a console and selling it again to make a profit (It just seems rather "Qj-ish" ) So I can't really pick a side.
