    Yeah, I wish I never gotten the PS+ and BF4 Bundle for $500, Ill be lucky to make $100 profit the way its looking. It figures the first time I attempt to do this it doesn't work.

      Never do bundles. It makes it too hard to be competitive.

      This was by far the worst I have ever done on console resale launch day, but the demand just isn't there.

        Wait for it. There are going to be places out of stock by Monday.

          Yeah, I have it for sale on Craigslist for $800, if no one bites by Wednesday I'm going to drop it down to $600. Useless selling it on Ebay, with one day shipping cost and sellers charge, I come out with no profit.

            Sold mine on Craigslist for $600 and the guy was very happy to have it. Said he needed it for his boys that got good grades in school. Met at the police station.

              I didn't pre order because I didn't think I wanted a PS4 on day one. However once they released I had to have one. I spent Saturday hitting every store in my area. They all told me the same thing, none left and won't be getting anymore until the new year. So I went on ebay and got one for $530.00. The guy shipped it two day shipping. Got it Monday, love it.

                The going rate here (canada/Toronto) is roughly $ 550 on kijiji. Honestly, the demand is not there. Kijiji has hundreds of ads. Not worth the hassle to make a $100 profit. I'm guessing everyone that actually wanted a PS4 got one and everyone that got a PS4 to "flip it" is just in one big pool with not enough fish to take a bite.

                  If this is true, than those who wish to sell on ebay should do well.......

                    The information comes from an eBay representative, who also told GameSpot today that more than 13,000 PS4 units were sold on eBay in the four days following launch, while more than 20,000 systems have been sold through the site since November 1. 10,000 systems were sold on eBay during the launch weekend alone.
                    Company representative says more than 13,000 consoles have been sold through auction site in four days following launch.

                      I'm waiting until after Black Friday. Supply should drop by then and demand will be as high as ever.

                        Yep, people start to panic the closer it gets to Christmas and will pony up for either system to have it under the tree for their kid.

                            To play devils advocate, could those numbers be inflated because the PS4 hasn't launched in Europe yet?
                            Would there be a large number of Europeans looking to buy a console ahead of time from U.S. sellers?

                              Going over the results from data provided by the market research portal GameSpot Trax shows a similar trend. Also, you may have participated in a poll here at OS which was something like 3 to 1 in favor of the PS4. Can't escape it, it's clearly the console of choice and for those holding off until closer to Christmas to sell on Ebay, they will become the real winners.
                              Editorial: Microsoft and Sony are going to toss out a lot of numbers over the next couple months. They're fun to follow, but they don't mean much (yet).

                                For those wondering about the PS4 at Best Buy, I am sitting outside now. I had an opportunity to grab an employee; a really cute girl btw who answered all of my questions.

                                Question 1: What time are you giving out tickets?

                                Our store opens at 10, but the manager will be giving them out at 9.

                                Question 2: How many do you have? Her answer: a bunch.

                                If all goes well, I will have mine later this morning.
