    I say as long as they are posted in the classifieds who cares. If someones wants to pay that much for one, they can do it here, or on ebay. There is no "raping" just "stupidity".

    I don't think they should be restricted. I sold you a 360 last year for $450. My FS post got deleted like 4 times because I was trying to "Rape" IA members. In actuality, I was trying to give IA members a better price than ebay.

    I think it would be the same for PS3's. Even though I have perfect ebay feedback, and would be able to get a better price there, I would sell mine significantly cheaper in person than what they're selling for on ebay since I would save $200+ in paypal and ebay fees alone, plus not having to worry about shipping something so expensive.

    I just saw one go for $6000 on ebay. How much are they restricting it too?

    http://cgi.ebay.com/Sony-Playstation...QQcmdZViewItem


    $2200 doesn't look so bad now does it? I wish I had taken a couple days off, and stood in line.

    I voted no. People make profit on alot of shit on here thats being sold ALL THE TIME. You dont know whether the seller paid $300 for the rims like he says he did or whether he just found them and now hes selling them for $200. Thats a $200 profit if you think about it. That was just an example tho. I think if someone is willing to pay upto 1G or 2G for an PS3 then the seller should have the right to sell the damn thing on here. The point im trying to make is PS3 is just another "product" being sold on IA and it shouldn't matter how much it goes for, because YOU ALL KNOW that somethings that are being sold on here arnt really worth what the seller is asking. Just my .

    if someone's willing to pay then what's the deal? if a bitch spreads her legs and says fuck me is that rape? didn't think so.

    if someone on here wants to pay 2k for one the let them buy it who really gives a fuck if they get ripped off. They already know they are getting ripped off before hand.

    i could buy 5 of them if i wanted to Hugo. Poor my ass, how much can $6000 get me? oh wait, i can only buy one with that LOL.

    I think if people want to sell them for RETAIL AND UNDER, let them do it. But for PROFIT, is just going to cause TROUBLE, we all know it. So i feel its best to just delete it all, an not have to deal with it.

    I disagree.... supply and demand. If people will pay 2 grand, you should be able to charge it. It is a luxury item, and there shouldn't be any guidelines...

    But I stand by my first post... Nobody on IA is going to pay "going rate" for one of these...

    YOUR WRONG..in this world everyones here to make money..not lose it, if thats the case IA should make soem new rules in the FOR SALE forums stating "you can only sale if it's under the retial price anything else will be deleted"

    more to add...If thats the case you should take your prices down on aftermarket parts and labor because its not fair for someone to pay that much..but you wont right? why b/c its called supply and demand

    Thumbs up I think people should beable to sell Ps3 on IA

    So are we oficially able to sell a PS3 on IA?
    I think we should be able to guys comon really think about it. Somebody may be willling to pay alittle more for it just to have one for themselves or kid , etc if they are willing let them have it. Even if we said only one PS3 sale per acct I think thats reasonable.
    Also I wonder if more people would feel comfortable if we open a small bid on it so it will be open for every one to bid if they feel the price is fare so no one gets or feels ripped or should we let every just post the price of the one they are selling so it will be know what they are asking for it up front so nothing is hidden.
    Hey seriously if someone post a price too high the worst will happen is it dont sell. As adults on here im sure we can handle it in a mature way.
    Not to mention If there are several people who want to sell theirs than all the prices will not be the same so some will be more affortable than others.
    IA IMO I think we should say its ok but maybe have some regulations or rules.

    Again I vote no IA should not restrict people from selling PS3's on IA.
