PS3, TMX Elmo Prices on eBay
I love Christmas and all, but the lengths some people are willing to go to in order to score the “hottest” toys of the season just blow my mind. The PlayStation 3 retails for about $600 or something like that. But since Sony insists on debuting its products in very limited quantities, there’s a whole market out there for extremely high-priced auctions.
Here are just some of the asking prices for the PS3 units currently on eBay: $1999, $1600, $1500. And that’s not even including the “joke” listings that start at $10,000 or more. Unreal.
How about TMX Elmo? This doll retails for about $40. If you want to buy one from eBay, however, be prepared to shell out $500 or more.
Give me a break. As much as I love my child, I would never go to these lengths just for Christmas!! Call me a Scrooge, I guess.
