But xb1 will aslo be sold out too and no pre-order avail.It's still possible things will go nuts after Friday and all stock is sold out. Then again, a lot of hopeful PS4 buyers may just shrug and go for the easier to get XBOX ONE the very next week instead. Too much supply from two different consoles. There is no secondary market that makes any sense profit wise to invest your time in.
As long as we keep expectations within reasons, we'll definitely make a few hundred dollars. and yea, i'm absolutely expecting retailers to restock but like i've said on my previous post, there will be a a 2-3 day gap with no inventory and thats when we can cash in. i'm no looking to make enough money to pay my mortgage or to make my car payments, but just enough reduce my cost for this hobby of mine. if all goes to hell, i'll return them and only be out 20 for return shipping and the 10 post that i made on this thread.There is money to be made but it's not the type of money that those who created this thread were hoping for.
Retailers have had their PS4 inventory for about a week now and I'm willing to bit there are more shipments on their way as we speak (maybe as early as the start of next week).
I also wouldn't be surprised if retailers start a "waitlist" program which guarantees a console within "X" days or during the next shipment.
There always will be people that have the means to pay through the roof to have the latest and greatest NOW but you're not going to see this hit four figures.
And by the time Christmas rolls around.... please. There isn't going to be a shortage.
I resell as much as anyone but I don't create ridiculous "brag" threads with misleading information. I just can't stand posters who need attention.btw, why are you always hatin on your fellow cag that is only trying to make a few buckaroo. aren't we suppose to be a community here.
LOL... no I've been pretty busy with wealth preservation as 2013 is coming to a close. I never cry over opportunities that never materialize. I look at and create opportunities frequently in my line of work. I approach the "next-gen" launch in the same opportunistic fashion. If you followed my post closely, since you're referencing them now, you'd know that my interest in this site was to gather information, in-addition to my other sources, allowing me to complete my due diligence BEFORE making the investment.that's one guy we have not seen in long time mr focus i guess he is now crying he is not making bank on these things like we said would happen or he never had all those systems to start with.
It's looking unlikely that I'll be able to average $2,000 per unit. Please don't mistake my "model" for "big talking". There's a huge difference between, "I'm going to make $$$ and everyone should be doing it" compared to, "IF I can average X... I have Y secured... I'll have inventory/distribution numbers first week of November"How's this working out?
It seems like a lot of the big talkers disappeared from this thread.
You weren't listening. Here's $17,300 I set aside for what could have been......or he never had all those systems to start with.
I seek no stature... only validity. (the pics will be deleted soon enough)Only a douche bag of supreme levels takes time out of his day to post pictures of his cash on some Internet forum to try to derive some status amongst nerds. I shudder to think about how deep and hollow it is in the place where your soul should be located. Thank goodness you're good at calculating business opportunities, because if you didn't have money, no one would want to ever be in a room with you.
And you just lost all the respect on this website if you had any. This is a website for cheap ass gamers not look at all this money websiteYou weren't listening. Here's $17,300 I set aside for what could have been...

Let’s be honest, not many people came with the intention to stick around CAG after the flipping discussion runs dry. Roughly half the people in this thread are new users who created accounts just to post in this thread. They will come and go, like big dumb ships passing in the night.How's this working out?
It seems like a lot of the big talkers disappeared from this thread.
You might say that buying up the stock of an item so other CAGs can’t get one isn’t a very brotherly act in the first place. If the community generally cared about one another, there would probably be a lot less “you snooze, you lose” and “just capitalism bro” bandied about on the forums. To quote BigJoe: “I know that most of you will hate me for this, but I could care less.”btw, why are you always hatin on your fellow cag that is only trying to make a few buckaroo. aren't we suppose to be a community here.
Carrying around fat stacks of cash? Boasting about your business acumen? That always works out so well… just ask rap.LOL... no I've been pretty busy with wealth preservation as 2013 is coming to a close. I never cry over opportunities that never materialize.

I actually don't carry any cash. "THAT" was honestly set aside for 30-35 PS4's and shown for validation. You can thank TimboSliceGB for awaking the sleeping dragon (I wish he'd delete those remaining links in his post.) None-the-less I would've preferred to had showed you guys a lucrative pyramid of 30-35 PS4's... as proof.Carrying around fat stacks of cash? Boasting about your business acumen?

Too late... I already hit that massive '07 iceberg and managed to carry on. It wasn't easy but it's DEFINITELY been worth it. Nothing but smooth sailing and sunny skies from here to my financial destination!Watch out for that iceberg.
I sold one yesterday for $600. LOTS of scamming emails so beware.Put one of my pre-orders on Craigslist yesterday for $620... not one single email in 32 hours. Not looking good fellow speculators.
Can you please post the ad description? I'm too lazy to come up with a good one.I sold one yesterday for $600. LOTS of scamming emails so beware.
"As stated I have an Xbox One Day One Edition. These are already sold out everywhere. You can't get this particular model unless you shop on Ebay where prices are $700 and up.Can you please post the ad description? I'm too lazy to come up with a good one.
I'm going to do a cash only swap in the lobby of a bank. $600 for an Xbox One? So you netted around $50? It just doesn't seem worth the time or risk.I sold one yesterday for $600. LOTS of scamming emails so beware.
$100. No tax on Amazon in the state i live in. It all depends on how much you value your time. Even the little bit I make off this is the only way I can justify buying an Xbox One for myselfI'm going to do a cash only swap in the lobby of a bank. $600 for an Xbox One? So you netted around $50?

You are just begging for the Price Is Right failure horn once you get scammed.This big dumb ship is sailing away with a sub $200 PS4 with game.
Ah, fair enough.$100. No tax on Amazon in the state i live in. It all depends on how much you value your time. Even the little bit I make off this is the only way I can justify buying an Xbox One for myself[/size]
unbiased...Go watch the current listings. Pick any one that has bids and watch the auction end. Ebay dosent show sold listings until the item is paid for so these new ales will show up shortly. But go watch some auctions end and share UN BIASED findings
Or make people even more wary of buying a PS4 launch version and drop demand/consumer confidence like a rock.Several media outlets are reporting faulty hardware or software for the PS4. This is just a small sample size, but it could lessen supply.
Wow, interesting. I thought rich parents and well-to-do people would be desperate enough to pay more as Christmas nears, driving up the prices. I have a PS4 that's going to arrive on Friday and three games already on my desk but it's not worth selling if I don't recoup at least $300 in revenue (I live in NY and have to pay tax). So far I'm seeing PS4 Buy-It-Now sellers (as of Nov 14, Thursday Morning) who made a sale were selling the console for a little under $600. Most are offering free shipping that is coming out of their pockets so they probably only pocketed around $150 dollars or so. I'm seeing many listings of $700+ PS4s left unsold. If the price keeps dropping as you say until Christmas from what you observed in previous holidays, then I don't think it's worth selling.I did extensive tracking of the Xbox 360. I sold several units on the after-market. Xbox 360s before release were selling for about 3 time value. A $400 system (just console) was selling in the $1200 neighborhood. Then at release time, the after-market prices dropped to around twice value. A $400 system was then selling in the $800-$900 range. From that point on there was a very steady predictable drop in price until Christmas. I was able to obtain a 360 right before Christmas which I was able to sell for $580 – about a $150 profit. (Yes, of course there were exceptions to this, but this was the basic pattern after watching thousands of units for sale).
theres no way you will be able to make $300 profit for this generations of console. the best would probably $!50-200 range and even then you don't know if sonys going to send more stock to each retailer in hopes of crushing the xbox one sales so all in all, I advise everyone to sell the ps4 around 1 or 2 days after launch. I already sold both my preorders and didn't even have to risk exchanging the console on cl.Wow, interesting.

Have faith! I would hold out til after BF weekend just to be sure. Also putting your phone number on CL might illicit more responses (although I can understand why you wouldn't want to do this)Yeah, dropped my CList listing to $580. Still no emails. I think a trip to the returns department is on the horizon. Ah well, not all speculations work out fellas. I just hope we don't see a flood of horror stories here about ebay sellers being scammed. A lot of people sold based on changing the Amazon delivery address. That's not going to be good for a lot of them.
