Just read this article about a guy that has been buying and selling wii’s PS3’s and iPhones to make a profit. I really see no problem with it as he is doing nothing illegal, and is just taking advantage of the free market pricing. Others seem to disagree quite strongly.

I picked them up day of and listed them. By the end of the auctions I had made nearly 1000 dollar in excess of my own PS3 purchase. I ended up listing my own machine as well, as the demand was insane. All told, I cleared nearly 2000 dollars in profit. I still haven’t bought a PS3 actually.

I received death threats, e-mails from people saying I was “a monster” and someone claiming I was “selling her child’s Christmas away!” Someone even went so far as to contact Ebay and claim I was selling porn. People were livid at the profit being made.

In other news, I’ve finally got my house re-arranged for the winter. The bed is once again coming back into the living room due to heating issues. I’ve got this wonderful heater in the floor that dosn’t do a very good job of distributing the mass amount of heat it puts out. It’s also incredibly difficult to re-light the pilot light on it.

Here’s some pictures of the new room setup.

The TV is over where the bed was last year. Also notice the sweet speaker stands that took forever to build.
