Man tries to profit off of PS3s but fails

February 6th, 2007 at 5:56AM EST or 1 year, 6 months ago (terribly early in the morning)

Derek O’Brien wanted to buy his girlfriend an engagement ring and thought buying PS3s and selling them on eBay for a profit would be the best way. Apparently not. He stood in line all night and bought two machines, one for regular price and one for $1,800 from another person. Now he’s trying to sell them at a loss.
