This would really suck...

Waiting in line: 40 hours
PS3 new in box: $599
2 year extended warranty: $100
Extra controller and games: $180

Listing it on Ebay, not realizing you clicked "buy-it-now" instead of "starting bid".

For 99 cents.

PRICELESS!

Or Ebay # 280051645657 if the link doesn't work...

Cheers,

Paul.

I'm thinking that the seller is going to lose his 100% positive feedback when he doesn't deliver the goods!

Seriously, I would guess eBay has some policy where the auction can be declared "void" do to the listing error?

Anyone that waits in line for 40 hours for ANYTHING deserves a boot to the head for stupidity.

With the profits he made off the other PS3 auctions, it looks like he might almost break even!

Anyone want to place bets on whether or not the buyer gets it?

it looks like the buyer (0 feedback) was probably a new user name created by him or a buddy in order to end the auction early.

I thought of that, but the account was created in April.

I guessing maybe it's his "other" account...

why? as long as nobody bids, the seller can always cancel ...
