Guitar Hero III scarce?
    #7778549 - 12/19/07 05:31 PM (16 years, 1 month ago)

I saw on the news where a parent, somewhere in the US was having a hard time finding Guitar Hero III for his son for XMAS. Finally he found it for $90. But his son was caught smoking weed (what's this world coming to) and so his Dad sold the thing on EBAY and it sold for $9,000.

My question is.....is Guitar Hero III really that scarce? Because our local Wal Mart has several on the shelf for $80 bones. It comes with the red guitar. Am I missing something, because that's a hell of a turn over. I mean, was his version some specialized version or something? Anyone know?

Thanks.

I'm sure publicity behind the specific sale had a lot to do with it.

Comes with a red guitar? That's probably guitar hero II or I. GH3 comes with black guitars..

I really wasn't expecting to get a copy but I did.... and it was used so I saved a bit of $$$

What really surprises me is that people still can't get a Wii

nintendo apparently had a problem with their manufacturing and was unable to meet holiday demand. At least according to them. The GH3 auction came from canada as well and not the US.

THEY HAD A YEAR TO MAKE ENOUGH Wiis it's not like it's brand new.

and it's not that hard to picture messing up the decimal point on eBay I know people who do it all the time. If the story is true someone probably meant to bid 90.00

haha yeah i bet.


guitar hero 3 for the ps2 are definitely not scarce or ewhatevr the fuck. all the big stores in my toewn all have plenty, they do come with red guitars as well as the black one.

i do know that the wiis are definitely hard to get a hold of. all stores around here are getting limited quanities and they go fast. people line up at the door at like 5 in the morning to get them.
we would only get like 25 every 2 weeks

I'm just saying the system has been out for a year. I remember PS2 and 360 not having enough when they FIRST came out but after a year I think things were running smoothly. The average commercial life of a system is only like 6-7 years

I don't know anything about manufacturing either. I want a Wii too, you'd think they'd be able to make enough by now though. I mean, just in comparison to other companies who manufacture similar products, like Sony with their PS3 and Microsoft with XBox 360.

I'm going to try to get one after the holiday madness. Don't want to cross a soccer mom LOL

As said before me, it went for 9000(some dude in Australia bought it I think) only because of the publicity. And yes, the person who won it, meant to spend that much.

It was to do with the whole reasoning behind auctioning it in the first place.

It's like that dude who was left at the alter and sold the wedding dress...I can't remember for sure, but I think he got 20-30 grand for it.

Makes you wonder how easy it would be to cook up a good story to gain publicity so you could sell, say a jar of pickles for 10,000!
