Guy bought a PS3 for $1700 and then Sells it on eBay for $1

[TupacX2Pak]

Is the news in America really that shit, they have to cover a story like this? LOL what a shit country.

[H3artOfaBaller]

And 6 years later it is less then 300

[cokaneds]

So who is the lucky mofo who got the console?

[cokaneds]

0:37 At first glance I thought it was Ryan Higa xD

[JSHIVERSMCDEATH]

It's funny, he says he likes to give, but he looks like he likes to receive.

[masturman000]

i usually sell a playstation for 1$ but then i took an arrow to the knee

[MrBurke4]

i got here from videos about ppl doing stupid stuff in walmarts and gamestops...

[XxChoosingxX]

people actually bought the ps3 back then?

LOL!

[xmagicxx01]

It probaly ylod on him.

[SundayVideoGames]

Im going to that also in the future he just inspired me

[tron473]

there is obviously something else going on here, he made money off this somehow - i know it

[urantivirus]

The 60GB, the nicest version. Too bad Sony is an evil company who will never see another dollar from me again. Stealing features from my PS3.

[SuperThobal]

Why not just buy the PS3 for normal price and THEN sell it for 1 dollar. Or even better: buy like 5 PS3 and sell them for 1 dollar once again.

[winterhell2002]

so if a billionaire gives millions to charity its ok, but if a student subsidises 700 dollars on a video game console then its outrageous ?

[ThePhuzz]

@winterhell2002 Have you ever heard of a student who has money laying around? Billionaires who give away millions could be comparable to a student making 10 grand a year giving away 35 dollars. Billionaires who give millions are pathetic, should give away 10%

[TheOrangeAlex]

@ThePhuzz There is a huge difference in those examples.Millions can't be compared to 35 dollars.A million is still a million...

[ThePhuzz]

@TheOrangeAlex It's the same concept, and it's the same percentage of a persons income.

[TheOrangeAlex]

@ThePhuzz A million is still a million.Percentages are irrelevant.Besides they don't have to donate it they do it willingly.

[cjme1]

first reaction

:D

then i checked the date

D:

[Octigta4]

MINUTO 00:47 DICE QUE LA MEMORIA ES DE 60 GB ESO SALE $1700

[Telzon]

Don't know how I got here, but my BC 80GB just YLOD on me after 5 years :( Can I be put on the good list? ;) Applying new Artic Silver didn't work :( Guess it's time to save to build a new computer :)

[24redmoon]

I always find it kinda funny when I hear storys about how hard it was to find a PS3 at launch cause I remember the Kmart in town have 4 of them and they sat behind the glass case so long they had so much dust on them you couldnt read the boxes.

[canEHdian1988]

uk is in europe dumb ass reporter

[ERock73]

He probably made his money back with Adsense anyway.....

[MultiDeathKeeper]

I thought that the ps 3 costs 599 US Dollars

[TheDogondone]

So moral of the story, this guy REALLY likes to have his ass kissed? mk

[fallenhackable]

Why not a penny.....but anyway he's a very good man. If I had money I'd so something like that too.

[turkchris]

I am obviously superior to On, because I have FOUR....PS3s.

[yugiohreviewtrader]

@turkchris he he there cheap now

[turkchris]

@yugiohreviewtrader Just youtube "four PS3s" and you'll get it.

[SCRABLEism]

I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO GET RICK ROLLED

[zeivonzman]

i got my ps3 for 500 ha

[yourmominaction]

@zeivonzman i got one for 200 lol

[FreakySheva]

@yourmominaction I got mine for 159.99$

[GamerXface]

@zeivonzman me too...the 80 gb in 2008?

[movieplex8hundred]

amen to this guy

[Emerno]

I was hoping that this was a video where the guy sold it by accident for $1 and was totally crushed inside.... :( DISAPPOINTED!

[blkgnuz2007]

I still can't find a Ps3 anywhere, and I live in Mappy Land.

[gymkhanadog]

Old, but very cool idea. Major kudos to this gent. :D

I wonder who got it.

[JaysTheMan94]

Thumbs up If you went to the website 6 years later

[starfoxlover1231]

@JaysTheMan94 i went to the website after i read your comment

[BestKing56]

@MacOSXrulez Also, you know well that deeds are greater than faith. But faith goes hand in hand with what you do. in contrast it's not faith that was lesser than deeds. It's faith alone/ The word "faith alone" was in the Bible and it completely opposes it. It says in James 24: Faith without works is dead.

Sorry but your challenges are merely refuted theologically. You know that atheism got tons of it and I mentioned first hand that it's non scientific challenges.

[BestKing56]

@MacOSXrulez well, we could just say he still undergone great corporal suffering. He even bleed in fear having known it upcoming. This is medically serious. The vain were popped due to tremendous mental anguish. I tell you to resurrect after this and tell me nothing happened.

[BestKing56]

@MacOSXrulez So, that argument is pretty much no knock down at all. It may seem very knock down but again if you really are a free thinker, you recognize that this is non conlusive:

calamities exist - God don't

calamities exist - God does

You haven't proven the case for your preferred set up probability.

[BestKing56]

@MacOSXrulez oh you got many arguments there and this one is silly. You argue that evil in the world refutes existence of God. However, this could theologically answered EASILY. God permits natural calamities not evil. Free creatures are the ones that act and not to act, perform evil. However that is in contrast that natural pain is greatly minuscule by spiritual greatness one in heaven (not sky but in the presence of God). And we lack epistemology of it but then recognize what we have in spirit

[BestKing56]

@MacOSXrulez @MacOSXrulez ok then super genius. You live in the real world ok... God is not in the sky ok... Bible was 2,000 years ago ok... However there is no science when it comes to falsifying such events, existence etc. Christianity is not science but not being science =/= being non viable belief. Atheism is not science. Science deals with things that are natural. It does not go as far as to contradict existence beyond nature. You know past events maybe not infinite hence time not infinite.

[pobhockle]

Why did he make kids pour their hearts out to this "Santa" if he was gonna eBay it anyways?

[BestKing56]

@pobhockle what you meant

[JonnyMonster91]

I sell those pieces of shit at my pawn shop for 150 bucks every day.

[UpsidedownHandshake]

Well he's a better person than me.

[2much2die4]

plus tax..

[M4A1elite1]

he give it away to be in news lol

[roppie755]

He probably bought it then realized that Nintendo is better than Sony.

[Downfall466]

he's getting the world's worst fucking idiot award

[911Spenser]

@gnarki111 Hey don't talk shit to a ps3 you shit Xbox charges for online piece of shit

[TomClacy5871]

@911Spenser at least xbox doesnt get hacked

[TheQWERTYUYT]

@TomClacy5871 it did got hacked in 2007

[TomClacy5871]

@TomClacy5871 but has better online and ps3 got hacked more than once right?

[haider708754]

@TomClacy5871 can a xbox browse website? NO!!! so shut the fuck up



[TomClacy5871]

@haider708754 why browse the web when you have a computer and most people buy consoles to play not browsing the web DUMBASS

[TGtoxic157]

i dont know if this guys crazy r amazing!

[LordJummy]

The guy did this to get attention and hits on his websites for advertising revenue & affiliate marketing. That's all. This guy obviously does not care about generosity or charity.

[BaconChocolateChip]

what are they going to do with a PS3? it has no games.

give them a Mac if they want to play games.

[Mx15Mx]

@BaconChocolateChip he said it comes with 2 games...

[MASTER50577]

luv him :)

[SuperBrendanman]

i clicked on this video only to be surprised that it is highly liked

[afromime]

fuckin... amazing!

[AliceLivesAgain]

700 fucking dollars in 2006..

[waaazzzzzuuupppppp]

What really happened; he waited in line, bought the system only to look at it and go "Wait, I wanted an Xbox, this shit isn't worth $5! Better just cut my losses.."

[gutterfroggy]

wow, Im speechless, it may have been stupid on his part but I actually give this kid props for doing all of this just to make someone happy :)

[67Zaka]

HAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!! IDOT! HHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHA. CAN'T STOP ROLLING, HAHAHHA! IDIOT!

[gnarki111]

1700$?!!! Build a PC for that price not a crappy ps3

[LordJummy]

@gnarki111 6 year old video bro. Not to mention this is about giving things, not about gaming. Did you actually watch it?

[gnarki111]

@LordJummy yes i watched it. I commend the fact that he is giving. I just believe for that amount of money you/he could build a really nice PC; which has more use than a PS3 Which he could then give away?(for website hits)

[TheRyanSoto]

@gnarki111 would cost alot more to build a good gaming pc back then

[grffnchn65]

@gnarki111 your an idiot, this is when the ps3 first came out and its graphics were just as good or a little better then pc graphics at the time

[JediMindTrickzz]

@gnarki111 yea no shit, alienware XD

[gymkhanadog]

@JediMindTrickzz Overpriced garbage.

[RAGINGDEMON500]

@gnarki111 F--- PC..

[Zeldagigafan90210]

@RAGINGDEMON500 for 1700 bucks, you can get a computer system a lot better than the PS3. In fact, I wouldn't buy the PS3 at launch for 600 bucks since I could get stuff better than that, or just as good, for the same price or less.

[SalamiSmuggler]

@gnarki111 Yeah, but this was 5 years ago, shit was crazy then. It was not top of the line, but it was at least a 1200 built computer, at least, in a sleek sexy package that people didn't have to hassle building

[Namenobodytakes]

@gnarki111 You missed the entire point. And Ps3s are like 299 now, you couldn't get a PC capable of doing anything powerful gaming related for that

[VHZProZombie]

What a legend!

[robiwade1]

Dumb ass.

[pennyf9]

that's what Christmas is about, giving, this kid is very generous.

[BABYQUADZ]

GO ON EBAY



[thelukestar619v2]

i got my ps3 for 200 but i bought off my aunty around same time it got realsed few months later not exact come out

[NoLuckJustBbq]

It's not like the winner couldn't go back on Ebay and sell it lol.

[xDraedon]

It's amazing how not a single person here seems to appreciate this kid's generosity. The internet just makes me sick sometimes..

[xxxtizdmrxxx69]

holy i got mine 299$ they really costed 650$ or more before?

[Sami9444]

@xxxtizdmrxxx69 i think it was an fat ps3, not the slim

[roblo5i]

Lol console wars

[XSomeRandomAsianX]

lol 700 dollars to wait in line. AND 70 BUCKS FOR THOSE GAMES?? EVEN CALL OF DUTY ISNT THAT MUCH

[LGDE88]

I'm pretty sure poor people need better things like food rather then a ps3 let alone them trying to buy games for it.

[minimonkeyplay]

wow great Idea really he probably could continue to do this and give away stuff and still come out ahead just look at Phillip Defranco on youtube he gives away tons of stuff yet he still has tons of money left over from all the advertising he gets.

[HashSIingingSIasher]

lol Marvel Ultimate Alliance and Resistance were 70$ a piece? Holy shit....

[4bu112]

guy hated PS3 so much he bought it for so much money but then he sells it for $1 he must REALLY hate it....

[Mrtherapists]

two tip off fails in a row. shame on you nba 07.

[tyklug2013]

You people just are never satisfied are you? When this kid actually does something generous, you all criticise him for not giving $1700 dollars to poor people. I don't see any of you giving expensive items away. I admit that I would never do this. But kudos to the kid

[lREDseven007l]

@tyklug2013

True. But consider this: couldn't he have done more for more people had he not spent 1700 for the PS3?

[AliceLivesAgain]

@lREDseven007l Yes obviously that would have been better, but he wasn't thinking about that when he got the system. You will never know his logic or why he did it.

[TheTarheelRam]

@tyklug2013 Sh you idiot. You do realize he put it on EBAY. Where you auction! It probably went up to 700 dollars on ebay you fool.

[AliceLivesAgain]

@TheTarheelRam Sorry to say it, but you're the idiot here.. it is entirely possible that an item on eBay can sell for $1 with free shipping with no bids. It's called BUY IT NOW. This is where the first person to click the "Buy it Now" option on the auction page can purchase the item without going through an actual auction. It clearly stated in the video that the first person to click the PS3 wins it. Even if it did get bids and went up to $700, he would have still lost $1000..

[TheTarheelRam]

@AliceLivesAgain Past the point i'm sure a rich person got. I really really doubt a poor person won. But i guess he is very charritable but it would have put to better use if he actually gave it toys for tots or whatever so it for sure goes to a poor kid.

[AliceLivesAgain]

@TheTarheelRam You can't be so sure who got it or what they did with it after that. Either way, this was almost 6 years ago..

[tuareg29]

man da guy sucks

[PURPLEFLYINGGORILLA]

@matzklim srsly? how much money have you gave to kids in need?

[1SexiNici]

Only because he doesn't need the money... If he did, trust me, he wouldnt be so giving...

[777mirza777]

@1SexiNici no shit einstein

[mayant31]

i don't think your crazy because your doing something nice for people out there

[messi10zidane5]

This is what christmas is all about we need more people like this in the world.

[RealTalkAllDay1]

u are retarded

[infinitesimotel]

Now why dont the government adopt this idea....? Now that would be a merry christmas.

[911timm]

@infinitesimotel think what will happen.....

[PlasmafireGC]

i see no lines in denmark for PS3's.. People are smart here.. they buy it off the internet ^^

[football5680]

So instead of giving 1700 dollars to somebody who could actually need it you give it to somebody who has at least electricity and a TV. Most likely a lot more than that.

[SupaZero93]

..........why do i have a sudden urge for an ebay account?

[DriftMachine811]

But did he really give it? lol

[ProffesorChaosesFile]

pretty cool of the dude

[ReinEngel2]

Whoever ended up buying it for $1 overpaid.

[EvoDube]

@ReinEngel2 Its better than an XBOX that gets RROD in the first month of buying it.

[9cloudersprofile]

@EvoDube GT is 9Clouder,PSN is Kaotic Reach, I can tell you right now,PS3 is pure garbage,ive had my 360,first gen,for years and it plays like a dream,NOT A SINGLE RROD,call me lucky,but my PS3 is collecting dust,only thing worse then the games on ps3 are the sales

[bruce1chubb]

@9cloudersprofile Out of 5000 people surveyed for each system, 50% of people who have had an xbox360 say they've experienced a malfunction with the xbox, whether it be the red ring of death or whatever. Compared to the PS3, where only 10% have experienced a malfunction, and even better yet, 2% with the WII. The WII is garbage, xbox and ps3 are equally good, minus the fact that the xbox360 has much worse craftsmanship

[9cloudersprofile]

@bruce1chubb Dude,your so full of shit,if you had just said there both good,it would of been done with,but now its on,where did you get that information?You tell me this,ill tell u 13 sites where I get mine,however,just write,Both Good now sdfu if you just want to stop with the back and forth comments

[bruce1chubb]

@bruce1chubb OK. How about real knowledge. They are both equally good as far as playability and games are concerned (Xbox has Halo, PS has Metal Gear, both great games exclusive to their systems just for an example). However, I have a masters in computer science, and while they're both equally fun, the xbox is far less superior in craftsmanship than the PS. That's just my professional opinion

[trinikagekavir]

@ReinEngel2 Still better than xbox

[Digijedi569]

its almost 2012 and im STILL not able to afford one.... I WAS 12 IN 06' 12!!!!

[MrEther75]

I can't resist the obligatory Smash TV reference.

"I'D BUY THAT FOR A DOLLAR!"

[GamerDude1911]

Now that is the TRUE spirit of christmas!

[officerbob54]

I got my PS3 on the first day it came out,and there was no lines everyone was more interested in the new Xbox360(black one)

[tskren]

@officerbob54 ur full of shit, sorry lol, but not a chance u live in the one part of the world that didnt want a ps3 system, it was sold out everywhere and ppl resold those systems on ebay for over 1k after buying them at the stores btw xbox and microsoft suck unless ur some frat fag in college with a turned up collar and think halo revolutionized the fps genera, u do realize almost all the games for xbox come out for pc too right? (sorry i just hate xbox and dlc, also frat boy "bros" and halo)

[officerbob54]

@tskren u do know that my next door neighbor makes it right?well yea he does soooooo i got it for free so suck a monkey cock

[Sparksterfu]

650 dollars for a ps3 lol, whoever bought that new back in the day, must be regretting it now.

[TheBlackeyegalaxy]

@Sparksterfu yea, that happens with almost every new thing that gets old..

[omgitsaaron]

@Sparksterfu Yeah really. I bought mine for $590 (that included 2 year warranty) in summer 08 & now they're what, $270?

[trinikagekavir]

@Sparksterfu Actually wouldn't they be happy now?

Considering that only these past couple years has the ps3 had better games than the xbox360.

[llinsane1ll]

@Sparksterfu Naw, I think people regret buying a Xbox 360 more for $440 (tax included) and having it break down 1 after another.

I'm on my 3rd, looks like almost my 4th, if I were dumb enough to buy another after this one.

[LilCAm3211]

@llinsane1ll what are you talking about ive had my xbox 360 since release and its never broken down yet

[llinsane1ll]

@LilCAm3211 You are the very VERY rare minority.

Microsoft didn't spend $2 billion to fix RRoD alone for no reason...

PS3s had nowhere near the amount of issues as Xbox 360, and you get more out of a PS3.

[LilCAm3211]

@llinsane1ll i have both xbox and ps3 and xbox is best online but ps3 is a single player story mode console butxbox added a LOT of stuff this month more than ps3

[llinsane1ll]

@LilCAm3211 I have Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii, and for being an Xbox user for 8 years, I see no difference in service for XBL and PSN at all.

Yea, and I have to pay for shit I will NEVER use. I bought a gaming console, not a cable box/service.

I just want to GAME. I am not paying for 'better' service. That service plan just hoped over from the original Xbox Live service which was riddled with hackers.

[timaa1224]

@llinsane1ll I completely agree with you, i have been with Xbox for years now and i just got rid of Xbox and got a PlayStation for $299, i see no difference at all with the online gaming whatsoever. I almost never lag out of a game,, the people are in my opinion more mature since all the younger people want Xbox, that may be a little stereotypical but how many times have you wanted to rip your ears out of your head cause some kid on Xbox was being annoying as hell and would not stfu.

[timaa1224]

@LilCAm3211 maybe the rest of us gamers are doing something wrong because i had about 4 Xboxes in the last 4 years, that's a life span of 1 year with Xbox. ive had a PlayStation before as well lasted me 3 years till i had to get a new one and that's only because my cat thought it would be funny to take a piss right on it. Now that i don't have a cat anymore i got a new one and since its the slim it should last even longer than my previous one.

[LilCAm3211]

@timaa1224 yea i have had my xbox in my room for 4 6 years since it came out and theres one that we have in the livnig room that my dad and sisters and everyone else plays that weve had for about a year the one that came with the kinect and its always getting knocked over but it nwver broke

[waaazzzzzuuupppppp]

@timaa1224 Sounds to me it's more like you're just crap at taking care of your things..

[MrFreeCake]

@Sparksterfu yeah but it was worth it then!

[S30Vstainless]

@Sparksterfu i found a 40 gb one for 50 dollars

[Atadavidl]

@Sparksterfu xbox and computers are the same lol, buy an xbox when it comes out, not only did you lose a lot of money compared to now but it most likely is broken by now xD. Also PC's components keep on evolving so that might be a dinosaur now.

[MCMJRM]

nice story too bad 3 years later we would siscover that the ps3 is cheap and a rip off

[STOPNSWOPguy]

@MCMJRM Yeah and the 360 is an Advertising Whore, while the Wii is a Doorstop right?

[mlghackerifyme]

@MCMJRM No.. To be exactly.. Technology-wise, the pricing on that time wasn't unrational. The electronics inside of the PS3 was for that time; one of the newest/recenst high quality hardware. If i remember correct, they made 200-300 profit of one PS3. The manafracuting costs were huge.

[VeiledDraconis]

@mlghackerifyme

Actually all game systems sold lose money, this includes PS3, Wii, Xbox 360 ect. Money is made through game sales and licensing.

[mlghackerifyme]

@VeiledDraconis There was a small period of time that PS3 actually made profit on selling the console itself.

[VeiledDraconis]

@mlghackerifyme

not until they released the slim

[mlghackerifyme]

@VeiledDraconis Did you read what I typed?

[Kdilly66]

guy buys it and puts it online for a higher price.

[jake641991]

lol what the fucks a morrown?

[thegizmoguy1]

"why would a college student spend that kind of money only to give it away"

Pussy. Why else?

[Sup3riorr]

bah man people cant even bee nice these days with out morrowns commenting them

[thepwningeggnog]

how can u dislike this

[TriLogicorp]

the internet traffic pays for it. learn people.

[wangster76]

@TriLogicorp you mean supply&demand?

[eovogt]

im from kelowna, and i would give you my ps3 for free...however if you want my xbox ur gonna have to pay

[BlueRise85]

why did the guy spend more than 600 dollars on the ps3, was it made of fucking gold?

[MrVelcro56]

THEY HAD PS3'S BACK THEN!?

[slipknot7mt]

It's a bomb



[Xoxociana]

we need more people like him in the world <3

[theCATSPYJAMAS15]
