Free Money

So in light of recent events, I think I've come up with a fairly fool proof money making scheme. It's not something that can be done over and over, but more of a one shot deal.

This past week the new XBox 360 came out. Video game junkies from around the world were doing whatever it took to get their hands on one. Those who were lucky enough to get their names at the top of the waiting lists got first dibs on what was apparently a "too small for demand" shipment.

Not suprisingly, a lot of these early birds turned around and sold their Xbox's on ebay for 2 and 3 times what they paid for them.

So here's my scheme. The Playstation 3 comes out next spring and I'm betting that it will be more of the same type of hysteria. If I can get lucky enough to get at the top of one of the lists and get one, I could potentially double my money on ebay. Worst case scenario, I could take it back if it didn't sell, so I'd be out nothing.

So unless there is some obvious loophole that I'm overlooking, I could rack up a quick $500 for doing practically nothing. Seems like it's worth a shot to me.

Feel free to leave me a comment below if you think of something that I didn't but as far as I can tell it seems pretty foolproof, and we can use all the free money we can get.
