Here's the numbers I came up with for flipping a PS3 in the US:

$599 retail
$ 53 tax (differs by state)
-----
$652

4.80 ebay insertion
1.20 ebay first $25
18.00 ebay3% on rest
18.00 3% for paypal
25.00 UPS Shipping
-----
68.00 overhead

=====
$720 purchase + overhead

$750 sample recent selling price

$ 30 Profit(!)

Factor in cost of packaging, shlepping it to UPS, (or the pickup fee), and you've got a colossal waste of time on your hands.
$30 profit FTW! rclxub.gif
