It's not so hard to believe, really. People have been doing it for many years now, since the Tickle Me Elmo dolls became so popular, really. Folks did it the last two years with the Wii and now, with the news that Guitar Hero: World Tour's full band kit bundle could be kind of scarce during the holidays, folks are taking advantage yet again.
"In order to assess continued demand for the title, we conducted proprietary channel checks both at major online retailers and at bricks-and-mortar retail locations across the country," said analysts at Cowen and Company, adding: "resellers on Amazon.com are pricing the band kit at close to USD 300, well above the USD 189 list price." Wow, that's quite the significant increase. While not as severe as it is on Amazon, eBay users are also selling the full band kit at higher prices than it should.
Remember, holiday shoppers: get out there early and get out there often. If you're trying to track down one of the full band kits for Guitar Hero: World Tour, then we'd suggest you get on a first name basis with the store managers in your area.
