[livejournal.com profile] dawntreader90 's "Capitalism" description of the PS-3 madness seems to be on the mark.  WTOP had interviews with people in line, and ran off about 10 in a row that all said they were buying them in order to put them up on ebay for the profit, and that most there didn't even play the games...

why is the voice of Charlton Heston going "It's a MAD HOUSE!" running through my head right now?

a co-worker says he doesn't even bother going to "one-time" used book sales anymore, 'cause there are now professionals who basically bag the whole lot knowing *one* book in there might make enough profit as a rarity on ebay to warrent the purchase of some 100 or more other books not worth anything to them.
