Lot of variables in there. For those who waited less, or really, those who preordered and didn't wait in line at all, and for those who sell them for more than $1,500, the value changes considerably.
Besides, theoretically, 16 hours of that 48 is spent sleeping, which you can't really count. So that makes it $25 dollars an hour of actual waiting. I'm willing to bet that's more than most the kids waiting in line for a system make an hour.

quote:You are bidding on the contact information for my friend who acquired a PS3 by waiting in line outside Best Buy for two days in advance. I was there with him the entire time, but already sold mine. He has in his posession a PS3, extra controller, extra charger, three games (Resistance, Madden, and Ridge Racer), and a 2 year product replacement plan. Keep in mind that you are not bidding on an actual system, but only the information where you might obtain one. You will be able to contact him and he is very willing to sell if the price is right. The unit is in the Atlanta, GA area and he would be willing to deliver in person if close by. PayPal is the only payment form accepted.
Reminds me of when they were selling the XBox box for the same price, and people would still pay that amount even if the listing had the words "this is the BOX ONLY" in 200 point, bold red, blinking text.
