When to sell my PS3?

[50]

Hello, I was extremely lucky and got a PS3 yesterday at bestbuy (they had an extra one for some reason!!). I haven't been tracking the prices that much but people have said they are really low. Anyone have any suggestions for whens the best time to sell my ps3? My friend said I should do it the week or two before xmas. Any suggestions

Please take a couple of days to find it and then use it.

Hello, I saw your advert. I'm interest in purchasing your product. Please email me back.

Xmas is on a Monday this year. UPS/FedEx/USPS do not deliver on Chrismas Day or Sundays (which happens to also be on Christmas Eve this year). If you want to maximize profit (maybe) and still get it somewhere by Christmas, you'll have to ship it Friday morning (the 22nd) using overnight delivery, since they do deliver on Saturdays. So if you think there's going to be a spike right before Xmas, list it on eBay on the 14th or early morning on the 15th, and run it for 7 days.

oops, didnt catch that.....^^^what he said.

 

[Insomniator]

isnt there risk that a major shipment will come in before then? or is demand high enough for some to make a big profit even if that does happen..
