Gamestop took $ from people to hold a PS3. If they can't deliver on the preorders you get your deposit back. Same thing on an ebay acution. I bet they average $1500 pickard,

If I was an ebay seller, I'd much rather wait for the prices to go up then to get a pre-sale anyway. With Sony’s limited supply, I bet we see a lot of auctions come out after they go on sale.

That's why I don't think it's fair to sell them because the consumers are guaranteed to get one. Plus you don't want the Managers of these stores making a killing off of them either, by hording them.
