Political Correctness

"With that... Happy Ranahanakwansafestimas to all those who get their panties in a wad over the smallest details. Take a Qualude for crying out loud. For the rest of you... Merry Christmas!!!"

Thank you, thank you...and may I add...

To My Democratic Friends:
Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all. I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2008, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great. Not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country nor the only America in the Western Hemisphere. Also, this wish is made without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wish.

To My Republican Friends:
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Picked up 2 and was on my to start a thread but thread started. Yes you can brake it down and take all the pieces and return them. I did that last year with all my PS3's. I had something like 15 bundles from Wally World and it was a headache but it worked. Just sucked that the PS3 thing did not pan out LOL. Anyway I just hope they get here swiftly.

Actually the PS3 worked out better than any system ive sold and ive sold them all since the Nintendo 64. I ended up with 57 PS3's on launch night/morning. All were listed the night prior to the release, and all were for 1 day auction, I started all the buy it nows at $9,000 so no one would bid on them before I found out how many I actually ended up with. Around 9-10 am when I had a positive count on what I had on hand, I just started revising my auctions so that I was in the lowest 5% of all buy it nows. From 9am-noon most sold between $2,800-$3,200, between noon-2pm it was about $2,500-$2,800, between 2pm-4pm it was $1,900-$2,500, and by 6pm I had all the units sold via buy it now with immediate payment required, with the lowest ones going for $1,750. I never left my computer once during that time except to use the bathroom, I didnt even eat, just constantly refreshing and revising my auctions and answering emails. After all was said and done with eBay fees, paypal fees, and payments i made to people who stood in line, I cleared just over $82,000.

I learned my lesson with the PS2 in 2000. I bought 5 on release day, sold 2 the same day on eBay for $1,200 each, kept 1 for myself, and decided that I would wait until the week before Christmas to sell the other 2, my logic being the demand can only increase. WRONG. NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER wait to sell a newly released game system. EVER. You get the most money on the first day and it only goes down from there, I have sold every single system you can think of, and it NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER goes back up. This is a word of wisdom to the people who think like I thought. When the next ps4, xbox720, wiimii comes out, DO NOT HOLD IT. Sell right away. Anyways the 2 PS2's that I kept to sell the week before Christmas fetched $375 and $400 =(

Side Note: I shipped all the PS3's that same Friday via UPS Overnight with Saturday delivery, the market dropped nearly 50% by the end of that first day, and I knew it would only go down over the weekend.
