And? Just because your city has stock doesn't mean everywhere else does.

My comment was mostly a joke as I saw the guy say phoenix AZ before i posted. However Im a bit confused as to how there are systems just lying around in every store across America apparently yet these things are still selling like hot cakes on ebay for a slight profit and quite easily on craigslist as well (I've sold on both, one before and one after launch).

Are you guys physically checking these locations or are just going off hearsay?

My point, I live in a severely populated city that has none. The fact that they are selling on ebay is proof that demand currently outweighs supply. Obviously they just shipped out the same number of consoles per locale rather than check the market demographic on video games sales in a given area.

so after ive extensively dissected the ebay market ps4 trends - the profits are f'in pitiful. members are selling their ps4's for 570-650.

now incorporate 13% fee between ebay and paypal (ebay - 10% & paypal 3%) your getting wacked with a 75-85 dollar fee.

so lets do the math. we'll take the highest offer.

$650 x .13 = $85 in fees
$650 - 85 = $565

now as a seller the cost to me was 400 PLUS TAX (im connecticut, my tax rate is .0635)

400 + tax = $425..... Thus 565 - 425 = $140 profit *ADD SHIPPING OOPS* lets say 20$ for shipping and tracking etc

profit $120.

is it worth the line wait, generally speaking, gas, time, and all the effort to ship it out ...eh i dont think so.

i sold it locally for $500. netting me $80 bucks..im getting drunk tonight guys later lol

I must have missed something but $120 to pick up a console and drive it to the UPS store is pretty freaking sweet...
 
If your town has a Kmart or Sears and you want a next-gen console, you owe it to yourself to drop in.
As long as you don't touch anything sharp (not as easy as it sounds - both stores resemble a warzone), you'd be shocked what you might find.
