If this is a legit bid, people really ought to have their heads examined! Not to
mention their priorities, family, jobs, and credit card debt. Anyone willing to pay
15 times it's retail price has serious spending issues or lots of extra cash they
like throwing around.

What a wonderful world in which I can pay someone to stand in line and buy my
PS3 while I go and make lots of money. Both of us are happy. He/she get their
money, I get my PS3. Go Free-Market! Go Liberty!
