3DS sales

[007jaws]

Alot of people waited ages for the 3ds console, now i see so many being SOLD on ebay?, alot of people listing then slightly cheaper than the shop prices also, alot of people only oweing it for a few days already selling them why? :angry:

The same reason they did that with DSes, Wiis, Pandoras, PS3s, Xbox 360s, iPods, iPads, and so on...

 

[Exophase]

People horde consoles at launch because demand almost always outstrips supply and huge profits can be made. Probably people bought several and are keeping one for themselves, or maybe they never really cared about 3DS to begin with.


I doubt anyone intends on selling 3DS for a loss. The only price that means anything on an eBay auction is final price, starting bid is meaningless (unless it's "buy it now", of course). Even in the last couple seconds the price can shoot up dramatically.

There could be many reasons for this. Why don't you go ask someone who has one up for sale, why they're selling?

 

[DaMummy]

how do these topics always come up when new consoles come out?

 

[Nintendo]

Speak of the devil...


How come you haven't answered my question about buying a crap load of 3DS consoles yet?

 

[DaMummy]

i didnt happen to see any questions, whats your question about them? ive had enough time with mine that i an answer all your questions, although i still dont have any games so hold off on those

 

[Nintendo]

Why would I need to ask you 3DS related questions? I've had mine for over 1 month now.


Anyway, my original question was...why did you purchased a crap load of Nintendo 3DS consoles?


Profit?

 

[DaMummy]

cause i can?

 

[Nintendo]

Stop being greedy~!!! Leave some consoles for the real video game fans out there!

You'll brick your 3DS if you do that

 

[Blue Protoman]

Wouldn't have to worry about that if it were a Pandora.

 

[Nintendo]

Unbrickable = Yummo~

VERY TRUE, HOWEVER I AM SHOCKED THAT THEY ARE SELLING AT BUY IT NOW PRICE FOR 170 POUNDS, AND EVEN MORE SHOCKED AT THIS EARLY, ONLY A FEW DAYS AFTER LAUNCH,


AND THERE SEEMS TO BE SO MANY AT A SLIGHTLY CHEAPER PRICE, MAYBE SOME OF THEM ARE EBAY SCAMMERS LISTING THEM IN BATCHES OF 10 FOR SALE E.T.C, BUT SOME ARE NOT AND ALOT OF PEOPLE HAVE THEM IN HIGH NUMBERS FOR SALE LIKE 12, 15, 10, AND THE ONES SELLING AT THE CHEAPER PRICE SEEM TO BE MOSTLY BUSINESS REGISTERED SELLERS ON EBAY?

 

[second exodous]

Maybe the 3D doesn't work for them? I haven't heard this on the 3DS specifically but 3D on some peoples eyes hurts or doesn't even work. I think you can play the games without 3D though, so this might not make sense. . .

eBayer 2 reason: Eye problems my ass! RETARD!


eBayer 3 reason: What a retard! Talking about Wii games...must be one of those Chinese eBayers who don't understand a word of English. Stupid f*cks!


eBayer 4 reason: Sounds like another retard trying to make a HUGE profit.
