There are still people sitting on NES classics on CL all the time. If you have to invest 600$ plus tax to buy 10 of those then sit on them for almost a year to maybe double your investment, you are a huge fucking pile of dogshit. Be more fucking pathetic. The people on CL are selling them for 90$ now that they heard there is a restock coming. They came out Nov 2016. What fucking losers.

Wait for it to be in stock at an official retailer.
Filthy kikes will be stuck with a boatload of expensive electronics that they can't sell anymore.
They will have to sell for less than the retail price. They will lose money. It will be fucking hilarious.

But of course with you being the moralless, hedonistic manchild you are you won't be able to resist the urge to buy one of mister Noseberg at 150% the cost anyway, just like the other losers will.

It's called capitalism you stupid fuck. If you didn't put in the effort to ensure that you got something you really wanted, that reflects on nobody except you. I don't resell or scalp, but I don't blame anyone that does. They got their ass up at 2am, drove to the store and sat out in the freezing cold for hours and rightfully purchased a product with their own money, which you didn't do because you didn't care enough. Since you didn't care enough, now you have to pay a premium. Don't think it's worth paying the premium? Then too fucking bad, you obviously don't want it that much. Supply and demand. That's America baby. Fuck whatever Euro-caliphate country you come from and grow a spine.

Y'all seem to not understand investing.
Investing is putting money behind a company to build a product/sell a service and in return, you get a portion of their earnings

Investing is not buying something at final price and then reselling it at a higher mark up while having no control or influence of the supply of said product.

Only idiots bank on the scalping train.

The fact you don't understand the difference between gambling and investing is a clear window into the mind of someone suffering from severe autism. Not only does gambling not fit the actual textbook definition of investing, it is completely random and you cannot predict the outcome, unlike an investment where you can make an educated guess on the chances of profiting by examining external factors. If you don't understand a simple concept like this, I'm surprised you haven't been hit by a car yet. Good day.
