If you meet at a busy location during daylight (business hours), then risk of physical harm is almost non-existant. For example, a busy Starbucks or a mall. Even better if you can ask a friend to tag along to hold the package while you complete the transaction with the buyer. Finanacial risk is...

If it is a scam, I still don't understand how the buyer is making any money. My friend is not going to drop-ship to his address by changing the shipping address on Amazon. He intends to receive the UPS package from Amazon, and then drive over to the QT (or wherever they agree to meet this time)...

My question pertained to the scenario where you receive the UPS package from Amazon, keep it for about a week or two hoping to sell it, and then return it unopened if you are unable to sell it. What would Amazon return shipping be in that case? EDIT: I am trying to estimate the net loss in such...

Here is an intertesting anecdotal experience from a friend of mine. My friend had placed an ad on Craigslist for selling his Amazon "Dual-shock Bundle" preorder for $1199. Some dude called him back saying that he will pay him $1300 for it. Apparently his son wants it really bad and he wants to...

I am a bit curious about who these people are who are actually willing to pay such a huge markup for something that will probably be back in stock in a few weeks time. I always thought that the majority are the clueless rich dads and moms who can't bear to have their little Timmy go without the...

I think CL should be fine if you live in a major metropolis. The downsides are, of course, things like getting robbed and fake currency. Getting robbed should be mitigated by meeting in a busy location during daylight. Being in a heavily populated area helps with this of course. From what I...

You are just stupid. Splitting hairs over "scalpers" vs "opportunists"? Come on...I guess If enough people complain I will switch to the latter term. Too much hassle to change the user name though - sorry. Personally I don't see anything wrong with it. Sure some in the gaming community might...

Haha, you are right. I probably should not be doing this. Initially I just pre-ordered one for myself. Then I saw all the craziness and decided to jump in with a second pre-order. But no more. Two is more than enough for me. I am not really stressing out right now. What you are calling stress...

Excellent point regardig the "what if" factor. I am guessing return shipping to Amazon should be around $10 for a PS4 bundle (approx. 10-12 lb I think).

Hey y’all, I have two bundles pre-ordered from Amazon (mainly to avoid sales tax). I hope to sell at least one at nice markup. I have never scalped anything before. I do not even have an eBay/PayPal account. I have also heard way too many stories about their buyer friendly policies, and how...
