  • A month ago [the week of 10/17], the unit was going on average for $959.60; now the average price [the week 11/11-17] is $1,955.29.

Not surprised that the pricing is going up. There is a lot of demand compared to the limited number of units. Where I live, about 90000 population, there was about 30 total units tops.

I've seen two auctions end at over $14,000.

Um.... I don't care how much money you have, a PS3 isn't worth $600, let alone $2700. My brain is melting and leaking out my left ear. Have they done the research? Maybe they're just trying to buy the love of their step children, but come on. I wonder how many of them considered donating some money to charity, since it obviously ain't no thing and it ain't no sweat.

Anyway I guess you could say I'm indifferent, idiots can spend their money however they want. I'll be happy to know what else I can do with $2700. I'm speechless. There shouldn't be a market for this. There aren't even any great games yet, certainly nothing... I mean.. you could buy two laptops with that cash. I hope at least some of them regret it.

These prices are no where near correct... If you look at the completed auctions, most winners have a zero feedback rating, and they're using brand new ebay id's. People are creating ebay accounts just to ruin these auctions. I'd like to see stats on how many of these auctions are actually being paid
