No different than scalping tickets. I have no problem with it but as a consumer I would never pay more than retail for that toy.

I dont have a problem with him wanting to make money on the deal. I just wouldnt do it here.

true.

Like others have said, I would have used eBay, Craigslist, etc.

Its almost an unwritten rule that we don't gouge on here.

I get the unwritten rule.....I'm not really gouging just trying to get my gouged money back=) I bought a wii off ebay for $370 plus $30 for shipping for my kids, then I found out a few days later that my father-in-law had somehow gotten his hands on 2 wiis and was giving them to my family and my wife's sister's family for christmas.
I threw my original post up quickly at work not thinking I needed an explanation for my price.
I have it for sale on craigslist for $400 and I dropped my price on here to $370.

I disagree. Unless this forum says "Face Value or Discount Value For Sale" forum then I say do it. There is nothing wrong with it. There are people willing to pay for hot items like the Wii.

I'd say go with Craigslist. While I still think it's filled with shady people, I've had a huge number of inquiries about my 360 - and 2 people that want it ASAP at $450.

Well, I know where you're coming from now. 2 people have already "changed their minds" on the 360.

Add another to the list of people that have backed out. I was actually getting ready to go meet the guy and he called to tell me that he committed to another seller.
