I walked into GameStop this afternoon and asked if they had any PS4s. To my shock and surprise, they did! (Apparently it was their first shipment since Black Friday, and a lot of the usuals hadn't called yet to check on stock.) So I bought one figuring it's got to be easy to flip it and make a profit. (I already own one.)
 

Any ideas for the best venue to sell? It looks like going rate on eBay is ~$560-ish plus shipping, which after factoring in fees and shipping, looks like you'd only make $70 which is less than I was hoping for but still better than nothing. Amazon is asking ~$750 but apparently is "restricted" in that they won't allow a small-time seller like me to sell one, and I don't know how to fix that, and honestly I wonder if they actually get any sales at those prices. I'm a little leery of getting scammed/killed on Craigslist. Don't have many other ideas yet.

 
Probably not the correct forum for this unless you are trying to sell/trade within CAG.

My advice, don't expect much trying to flip these new consoles.  Using Ebay is dicey in that Ebay tends to side with buyers every time.  If you sell the PS4 for $560 and then the buyer finds one in their local store (as you did), they only have to say it was not as described trying to find any little thing that is wrong with it.  Flipping these systems were much easier weeks ago when they first came out.  Now they are starting to show up in local Walmarts (http://www.cheapassgamer.com/topic/324352-walmarts-across-the-country-getting-healthy-stocks-of-ps4s-on-sunday-december-15-2013/), Best Buys, etc.  My local Walmart had 2 PS4's in stock and 4 Xbox Ones just yesterday.
