    So, I've put down on (3) Nintendo 3DS handhelds. My dilemma is whether or not to surprise my kids with them or E-Bay those bad boys. Nintendo already stated, once this initial shipment sells out, the USA won't be restocked until July. I'm just wondering with all the natural disasters befalling Japan, if this date will be pushed back and I should capitalize by making some dough off of them.

    Thoughts?

    I would imagine shipments and prices on anything out of Japan will be in disarray.

    Give them 1, sell 2. Make them fight each other every day over the 3DS. You get future MMA fighters and tons of cash. Win win.

    Make money off them and donate the proceeds to Xen, since we're giving you the idea, you owe us. :D

    Daddy likes!!! :punch:

    Donating to Xen also sounds feasible! So, who in Xen has the tin cup???

    BTW, Kyoji, I have immortalized you in Rift ! ! !

    Probably because you didn't pay for them, these 3DS aren't cheap ;)

    You could make more $$ by selling the kids.

    I like Dash's suggestion. But for srs. Give 1, sell two seems to be the best idea.

    Give the kids the DS's first, then sell them as a packaged deal.

    No, package deals net you less money than you would make selling them individually. I know quite a pedo (pictured below) who would pay top dollar for your kids.

    I know, I could hock two 3DS on Ebay, two kids to the Life on Neverland Ranch World Tour, and two testicles to our next president; that way I could speed away in a new M3 AWD Convertible after I teabag my wife with my freshly deballed bubblegum . . .
