Supply & Demand for PS3
It would seem that there have been some major disappointments presented to those who were able to preorder the Sony Play Station 3 game console. The biggest problem was that with the limited quantity of consoles made available to the numerous stores that ordered them were not nearly enough to go around. Retail stores were even asking that their employees, many of who got into the preorder PS3 process along with their customers, to please wait until the next batch of consoles arrived. They had hoped that this would be in plenty of time for Christmas.
The process required to preorder the PlayStation 3 console was meant to avoid an anticipated rush of people attempting to snatch up the newly released games console. This system was also set up in the hope of bringing some sort of order to the sales process of this much anticipated item. Unfortunately it looks like this process failed. It did not take long for those who tried to preorder PS3 game console to learn that despite having paid in advance for their new PS3, that it would not be be delivered to them as promised. Retail customers were being turned away with promises of getting their consoles sometime before Christmas. Therefore, many people turned to eBay as an alternative source of purchasing the PlayStation 3.

The PS3 launch is soon to hit the UK and European market. Another opportunity for people to speculate and preorder a PS3 for sale on ebay.
I have sold many to people who will buy 2 – one for themself and the other to sell at auction. They hope to make enough to pay for the one they keep.
