If they wanted it that bad they would have gotten there earlier.

I'm really considering taking down one of my auctions though so I can play. As it is now I won't make much profit. This afternoon they were averaging 600-1000, now they're 300-600. In order to break even I need to sell each system for roughly $400. Preferably, I'd like to fully break even ($800) and have money left over to buy my own Wii. (So I need to sell each one for $525.)

Some people do have children and/or jobs and don't have the time to spend 8hrs waiting for something like this to come out.  Hopefully at Christmas you still have two Wiis.

They could preorder. And it is dependent of where you went, definitely. At Super Kmart there were 10 Wii's, the final seat was filled about 7pm or maybe 7:30 i'd say.They handed out tickets at 10, so that's not a long wait. The 10th seed was actually a man and wife I guess (maybe gf?) and their newborn. And for those that couldnt wait, I'm here to serve them. :)

Damn! The high bid was 510 for one and 368 for the other. I'm not going to risk it and relist and I'm just going to keep the other one. My alarm didn't wake me up and I slept through the auctions end so I couldn't bump the bid up over the $500 reserve. It sucks because that's only $74 in profit.

You don't find anything unethical about that?

No because the guy that bid $368 probably had a max bid of over $500 but he couldn't win it because there was a reserve.

Ah... so you were going to jack the price up for his benefit?
