The ones that are really losing money are the retailers. Sony can't
really markup the ps3 too much because people would give them more guff than they already are for $600. Stores like EB and GS and even TRU and Target should all mark them up like 200 over MSRP and pocket the cash themselves.
Is that legal?

How are you cheating people? You put it up and let them fight for it. That's capitalism, buddy. You want the goods you gotta pay.
A store selling it over MSRP? Sure it is. The "s" stands for suggested you know.Quote:

Hello, welcome to the entire reason the products are on the marketplace in the first place. This is followed by how the entire reason there's a shortage is because of the product being pushed out for people to purchase at Christmas.Quote:

Do you know why the prices go up? Because someone bids on it and then someone else places a higher bid. Repeat.
Besides, it's not like there's enough to go around in the first place.
Just like no one was cheating anyone when after hurricane Andrew people were selling $500 generators for $5000 each.Quote:
