I just sold a PS4 for $580 on Crisgslist. Met at the local courthouse, cash is already in the bank. It went very smoothly. $140 profit.

This is why pS4's are lucky to get $540 right now - http://houston.craigslist.org/ele/4198303697.html Game over, guys.

Amazon just sent out emails saying XBOX ONEs will go on sale again tomorrow for a limited time. I honestly don't see a big secondary market for them either.

$800 for a PS4 bundle including an extra controller and BF4.

Criagslist user emailed me saying he wanted to buy my bundle for my asking price of $800, but wanted to see pictures of the receipt and the serial number to confirm it was authentic. That sounds like a scam to me, but what could they do with pictures of a receipt?

Yeah, I'm assuming all the scalpers that canceled their pre-orders accounts for this new Amazon stock. Let's see where everything falls over the weekend.

No emails from craigslist until just now. 4 people so far offering me $600 for mine to meetup at GameStop at midnight for a cash for console swap.

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...

Or make people even more wary of buying a PS4 launch version and drop demand/consumer confidence like a rock.

Ah, fair enough.

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.

Put one of my pre-orders on Craigslist yesterday for $620... not one single email in 32 hours. Not looking good fellow speculators.

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...

What's funny is all the speculators/scalpers giving up too soon and canceling their pre-orders, or returning them the first weekend, will be the very thing that makes shelf stock available to customers. So the impatient scalpers are actually dousing their own fires. The more returns that happen...

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...
