Every idiot they interviewed in Houston said " I am buying this to sell it for more money!" GREED!
Are you telling me you wouldn't sell yours when you could so easily quadruple your investment?
Even if I wanted a PS3 I would have sold one had I gotten one. If someone else with more money than time (or brains, perhaps) was willing to pay me 4 times what I paid for something, I'd be a fool to say no.
Simple free market economics. Nobody is forcing anyone to pay absurd amounts for these things. If there wasn't a market for it, people wouldn't wait in line just to get a system to hawk.
Is there really anything 'evil' about that? I mean, in my case the money would have gone to paying off my outstanding college debt so that I could re-register and get back in school by this coming spring (ideally) or next fall. Yeah, I guess that makes me an evil, greedy, heartless bastard.
Of course, I didn't get one. I'm kicking myself for not taking off work though so that I could have gotten in line before it was 100+ people long already.
