Who are the morons paying $9,000 for one? Why not hire a teenager to stand in line for 3 days for $1,000 if you have that kind of money to kill.
I would do it as a college student. 3 grand in two days? Anybody want one....let me know.
Here is what eBay says about this moron.

Or, better yet, buy an Xbox 360 with a fraction of that, since only about 4 of the PS3's launch games aren't available on the Xbox 360 already, then buy a PS3 with the rest when things normalize.
It may be worth $8,000 to some people not to have to deal with the teenager.
