8800GTX on ebay?

Your a knob.

You could but I would just get a job if you want some money

Its people like you that destroy our econemy and make me want to vomit.

Have a nice day.

In answer to the question. I'm quite sure you could make profit off someone.

As to the morality of taking advantage of your fellow man/woman, well thats up to the individual and their conscience I suppose.

I can see the temptation for a quick buck tho.

What he means is, that you destroy HIS economy since he obviously gets ripped off quite often on ebay.

I hope you meet the new requirements to sell new game consoles on ebay right now.

That's just for speculators...Nice people don't get those rules.

how am i taking advantage of anyone...I am not setting the price, i am not lying about the product or retail value...Im not even being shady about it everything is in their black and white....When someone pays the money they will know ezactly what they are getting.
Bah your fine, I would have just put it on ebay and never posted about it here

if it was a crime ebay wouldnt allow it. I will start the price at 1 penny if people bid higher than retail thats not my fault.

I'm not an expert, but usually on concert/sports tickets, it specifically states on the ticket that it's not for resale. AFAIK, there's no such disclaimer on video cards and hardware.

Thanks, but no i consider myself well educated for a high school senior, and really any money i were to make off the ps3 would go towards college. And for the record i work at a retail store and as an on site tech for a spinal doctors office.......but i still dont understand how its unethical, if it was something that was a necessity i would understand, But people will be choosing to pay these prices. I will be starting my auction out at 0.01$ so they will be jacking the price up not me. Sooooo by what your saying, do you find all auctions unethical? Where the seller makes a profit??

Demand is high? You can get one from most etailers at or above MSRP. Demand is not that high and prices will only drop. I wouldn't be surprised if they dropped by as much as $100 between now and Christmas.

The desire for these cards is much higher than demand.

It's not even high considering the available stock. Supply is just to high and will only get better. Beside after the initial push they're not going to be moving many $600 cards when most people will be happy with a $300 that will play most games at 60+ FPS at 17" LCD res.

There is a very small segment that will really benefit from this card and rest just want it because.

Recommending someone to buy something to turn it around for a profit that it isn't likely to make anything is just bad advice. I personally don't agree with what he's trying to do but I wouldn't mislead him into wasting his money. While I'm not suggest you're trying to mislead him your advice is bad, unless the supply runs out, which doesn't seem likely.

Capitalism doesn't involve inserting middle men, chief. That's called hedging and it is widely regarded as unethical. But why would you know that? I'd wager the extent of your work life centers around the creed: "Would you like fries with that?"

I normally don't bother getting involved in these stupid flame threads, but I felt compelled to say that your comment was one of the most stupid things that I have heard in a long time. Did you ever take an economics class in your life? EBAY itself is nothing more than a "middle man" profiting off of a transaction between 2 people and last I checked most publicly traded companies (like EBAY) are representative of Capitalism.

Additionally, the definition of hedging is "Taking a position in a futures market opposite to a position held in the cash market to minimize the risk of financial loss from an adverse price change; or a purchase or sale of futures as a temporary substitute for a cash transaction that will occur later. One can hedge either a long cash market position (e.g., one owns the cash commodity) or a short cash market position (e.g., one plans on buying the cash commodity in the future)." This has NOTHING to do with what he is thinking of doing!

Finally, every store/site that buys products from a manufacturer/distributor and resells them for a profit are acting as "middlemen". Still capitalistic last I checked. So if you disagree with what he is trying to do (which as far as I am concerned is pure capitalism (even though I think it would have been a bad financial move)) please do not spout ignorant rhetoric when you have no idea what you are speaking about.

Personally Im disgusted at the people who are selling them (PS3) on ebay... Those who want one for themselves or thier children either pay a cr@p load or miss out while these bottom feeders prey on those with no brains....
But....
Those people who are stupid enough to part with $15,100 on an item worth $600... well... they are idiots....
But....
There was something else... but i forget...

Just as well you didnt try and sell them... as you said, they werent in too short a supply, my local store, as good as it is, ran out quick, but I wouldnt pay any more than normal price just to get one now... (idiots)

I can't believe I missed this thread before. To the original idea, this wouldn't really work seeing as it's not the coveted "PS3" and supply for the 8800GTX has been very good so far.
