Kane99 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 To be expected, and how nice, he's only charging $925 lol. People are getting their pre-orders in, and they probably figure they could get a decent profit from selling them. I bet Ebay is full of listings for PS5 and Xbox consoles right now, some going well over $1000. It happens for every new console release sadly. 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 So the scalping has already started. It's the same for the new release of any popular product. They're selling them way above their market value and you have idiots who'll buy it just because they can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Ebay, craiglist, and few other local listing has now some of such ads here. And it seems like scalpers who used bots to order and store the orders are in action now. I can't afford their high prices which surpass the MRP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't afford their high prices which surpass the MRP. It's everywhere, even on Newegg and a couple of other reputable sites. I wouldn't have a problem to spend at most 5% over the MSRP because the seller has to make a profit to keep their business running. My issue is when the price is 200 to 300% more...

In fact, what surprised me a little bit more is that it didn't happen sooner than it did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head_Hunter Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 I wouldn't consider that, cos my income isn't much to buy a game above it's cost price. Instead I'll hold on until the price comes down so I'll buy it and have some discounted funds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why Its never surprising to me seeing PS5 console being expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
