A good idea for an e-business?

One of my friends told me that recently a local store was giving out FREE ps3's if you bought a plasma HDTV. Yes, I know your going to have to pay alot more than $600 for a plasma. But, look on E-bay. PS3's are selling for over a THOUSAND dollars. Imagine someone had a good hookup and is buying PS3's before they are out for the store price. $600. Your getting at least $400 for each you sell. Sell 10, $4000. So to me, a good idea is selling consoles before they come out! The only problem is figuring out how to get them..

hahahhah that's a good theory, but the question remains, where do we get the stuff, unless the illegal way, i don' t think we have any chance of getting products like these on our hands,

even with wholesale prices, i'm sure they govern who they sell to, how cheap they can sell it at, and when they can sell it to you and all,

if you find a legal way, private emssage me hhahahahhaha

Ha, yeah. If anyone knows a legal way message me too. Yeah they probably do govern who they sell too. Heh I wonder if I was to message one of the Ebay users who sell them and ask how they got it, if they would tell me how they got it..I doubt they'd do that cause then its loss of business for them. I know EVERY single time something big comes out stores always post it on the shelves 'early'.

You will always find numerous such hack ideas to sell like a agician on ebay , but seriously they seem quite unrealistic because there might be a catch some where but if huge margins were there , they would become public soon and everyone will start making money too soon to be true , I also read a story about an old woman selling concert tickets for huge prices coz no one wanted to stand in lines to get them , not very inspiring ?
