Exactly my point.

i would have done the same thing..
its an investment.. you buy them when they first come out and sell them for more on ebay.. why not?
he's not forcing anyone to buy it, if someone wants to pay $1000 on an xbox 360, thats their bad.
i guess everytime i buy something, a car, a part, anything.. i HAVE to sell it for cheaper than what i bought it for..or im ripping someone off.

Not at all. I FULLy understand the concept of selling for profit
This is the common misunderstanding of what I'm saying. Standing in line for 5 hours doesn't justify selling something that is selling for 400, for over 1,000. It's not making "some" money, it's making a crap load. The thing is, people are buying JUST to be profitable. I understand all this about selling for a profit very clearly. But there ARE other means of doing things for profits. If he had sold them for let's say 500, that in my book would be tolerable. If a system is 400 and he offered 500, that is def. fine. Anything more is just taking advantage of people. All these people you see selling them on Ebay for 800 dollars etc...just bought the console TO be profitable. How many consoles are on Ebay selling for that amount? What like 20,000? Maybe less, more?
microsoft is only making these things to make $$. yes i understand they are only buyign them to make $$. they are making an investment.
It's quite different from a business perspective, but a consumers? Not at all. There are limited quantities of this, and people are selling them for outrageous prices. Yes it may be the same "concept" but they are VERY different.

you not making sence here.

People are paying 400 dollars for it because that is what it's WORTH *actually worth a ton more.* It's what MS sets the price at, does that mean the system is only worth 100 dollars? No. The system is worth, a ton.

WHO CARES?!?! Your mad at the person selling them.... WHY? If someone said they would give you $1000 for the piece of gum in your pocket, you would say, "Um, no thanks... " Forget that. Be mad at the stupid people who PAY that much. If people tried to sell them for $1000 and no one bought them... the price would come down. Its the people with too much money that have to have everything first that you should blame.
I swear, some people. Im suprised you havent started blaming someone in office... shouldnt they control this stuff? OMG. SHUT UP! Wait a month or so and get it at regular price. Sheesh.
Until then be quiet, you sound like an idiot... better yet cut off your fingers. Then you wont need an Xbox or have to type anything this lame ever again.
enjoy your day.

Oh yeah? Funny how the gaming industry works by them not making a profit. These systems are worth WAY more than 400 dollars. Microsoft is actually LOSING money off of the sales of the 360. They lose between 140-165 per EACH console sold.
Care to explain? In that theory, since I don't make sense...You not spelling right. You blalantly related to Kooks selling things for a profit, to consumers selling things for a profit. There is a HUGE difference. A company makes a product to sell to people interested in them, at REASONABLE prices.
People are paying 400 dollars for it because that is what it's WORTH *actually worth a ton more.* It's what MS sets the price at, does that mean the system is only worth 100 dollars? No. The system is worth, a ton.

Re: xbox 360 for sale!!!
He should have put it on Ebay 2 weeks ago like the 1st response seggested.
A buddy of mine who lives to sell on Ebay bought 6 of these the 1st day and put them on Ebay starting at 99cents. The prices they sold for varried but he made a total of $7800.
Wish I'd thought of it.
