Hey if they wanted one that bad they could have gotten their ass up and sat in line in the cold for 8 hours like me and my g/f did twice. I bet your one of the people that showed up 10 min before the store opened and was all pissed because there was a line and they didn’t get one. I didn’t have any opportunity that every other person in the world didn’t have i didn’t get to wait inside, or cut in line, or reserve one. In fact the ONLY advantage I had was I knew exactly how many we had and as soon as the line began to form the people in it were told that information as well. I’m sorry people are to stupid or lazy to go wait in line especially since every person that asked inside was told that people would be camping out all night for them.

That is truly disgusting. You are scalping these systems away from people who are willing to sit out all night for a single system for thier children, friends, or siblings. And you you just take these systems away from people who are dedicated to OTHERS and use them to make your own profit at the expense of others. You are nothing but a parasite. You are leeching off of the people you stole these systems from essentially. And you try to rationalize it by your standing in line. Ive seen people stand in line for longer then 12 hours and come out with nothing and they aren't even doing it for themselves. These people deserve the system so much more then you. Even the people who come to the store 10 minutes before opening time deserve the system more then you because most of the times they are being selfless while you are just validating your selfishness by the time you wait.
People like you disgust me. I cannot speak for everyone but you don't have a place in boards like these.

You are trying to validate waiting in line as an arguement why you should be allowed to rip-off other people. I have seen people wait in line and come out with nothing. There are people out there I have seen that wait in my opinion unhealth periods of time for the system. They want a system for others.
They can be just as motivated as "you" can but there is a solid fact. There are a finite number of Wii's. No matter what you think its not as simple as "Just get there earlier" getting thier earlier does not change the number of Wiis there are. And you are taking these from other's and using them to make your own profit at another's expense pointlessly.
You are a sad excuse for humanity.

Well then we both win because i am more then willing to sell it to them. I love how you justify why someone should get something by their motive not by the time/effort they put into getting something.

No you scalp an extra 100 dollars at minimum from them for your own personal gain. There is no relish in that act. And yes I believe motive should play a role. Your motive is disgusting. You simply want to take advantage of other people because the demand of the Wii is so high so you take them from others and sell it back to them at a price for your own gain. You just keep trying to spin this in some way that does not make you seem like the scalper you are. And then you try to say that you "both win". This shows your obvious lack of a moral compass. You describe it as a win-win situation because "they get what they want" and "you get what you want" but at the other's expense. Not to mention most of the people who end up buying the Wii across ebay or other methods are the ones you have al;ready spoken out against. They are normally the people who arrive 10 minutes before store opening and "get mad" when they are last in line.
You are stealing the Wiis not from them but from the person right at the bitter end of the line of people who got Wiis. That last person who had to sit there and watch the person infront of him get that last ticket and just wished there could have been one person left. He is not going to go home and search ebay for a Wii he is going to find the next store out there that has a shipment date and camp it again.
Also by your definition of who deserves things Hitler should have completed his genetic "cleansing" because of the time/effort he put into fidning the most efficient way of mass murder. He put plenty of time and effort into that cause so by your standard they are justified in what they did.
