So, I was watching the news last night and they're saying how there's over 500 people waiting in line outside of the Sony metreon in SF for the release of playstation3. The reporter asked this one dude, who's been waiting in line for over 48 hours already, on why he's spent the last two days waiting in line for the playstation3. His immediate answer was "ebay."
So I went on to ebay and noticed that the highest winning bids are somewhere around $2000 (regular price is $600). So, this guy's gonna end up waiting for about 60 hours, and that means his hour rate there was $23.3. Poor guy.
And for me, I'm very happy with my missing gamecube.

I've seen people wake up 4 am to hit up the after thanks giving sales, buy the items with mailin rebates, cut out the upc symbols, buy stamps, fill out the rebate forms, lick the envelopes, make a trip to the post office, post up adds on craigslist to resell for a higher value. I think all the time and effort would come out to 2 cents an hour.
Yah, bastard. Where's my gamecube!!
Check this out!
