Playstation 3 Grey Market Backfires For Some Users

November 22nd, 2006 • Related • Filed Under

Firstly, I can’t understand why anyone would be desperate enough to pay $5k+ on eBay for a Playstation 3. But, if I was crazy enough to spend this amount of cash on eBay I’d definitely read the small print to make sure that I’m getting ‘Value For Money’.

So, I have no pity for these idiots:

Similar madness occurred when the Xbox 360 was launched in the UK, with a Xbox 360 Picture selling for £470.

Although it is nice to hear of speculators missing out on their super-profits.  This muppet ended up selling his PS3 for just $9.99 after he forgot to add a few zeros to his ‘Buy It Now’ price.  Quality!
