<\/p>\nLike every other big video game system launches, especially around the Christmas time, product shortages and the need to buy the latest and greatest for that special someone leads a lot of people to go onto ebay as a last resort to find the product. This year, everyone is already anticipating the Playstation 3 to be extremely limited in supply which has a lot of people wanting to buy it simply to resell it to others at an inflated price to make a lot of profit.<\/p>\n
Finding people that are willing to pay an inflated price for a new gaming console during the Christmas shopping period is an understatement as demonstrated last year when the XBOX 360 came out. Although the premium version of the console retailed for $499.99 CDN, it was a common sight to see ebay prices floating in the 4 digit ranges. For the PS3, apparently the premium version is going to retail for about $650 CDN and already people are pre-selling a pre-order guarantee for more than double that amount. Just to get a glimpse on how crazy it is probably going to get, I took a screenshot on some of the Playstation 3 listings that are already on ebay. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
So for people who want to make some extra money during this Christmas, I guess this would be one of the ways to do so.<\/p>\n
