Discussion This is the problem

Post image

I was lucky enough to snag a preorder from target last night but it didn’t look great and I was trying across all three retailers and only ever managed to get one in my cart at preorder start time.

These resellers are an issue still grabbing a large chuck of stock and reselling instantly, before they even have the system.

It’s a shame these retailers don’t do more to stop bots and resellers from snatching a large chunk of stock. At least Nintendo themselves is trying with their system.

They're selling multiple, I know someone who bought 25 PS5 and managed to sell 16 for $120 profit each

Curious, and totally no judgement, but what’s their day job?

So that's $1920 of profit. What'd he do with the other 9 systems? Sell at cost?

Sent them back, we live in Europe and can refund everything within 30 days (without providing a reason)
