PS5 Scalpers Having a Hard Time Selling Consoles - PlayStation LifeStyle

Now that the PS5 stock shortage is officially over, scalpers are having a hard time offloading all the consoles they hoarded.

I'd say that is some good karma

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

I see PS5s in about every store I go to even Best Buys having open box buys so scalpers should have sold off their stock sooner

 

[Nydius]

Never has this GIF felt more appropriate.

 

[Skifi28]

They must have been stupid if they were still hoarding them, they should gotten rid of them a few months ago.

 

[Jimmyisback]

good ...fuck them scalpers.

 

[coffinbirth]

Who the fuck is trying to scalp PS5's in 2023? That's like trying to scalp air fryers at this point.

You cared enough to leave a comment

 

[Beastclaw Raider]

It's been a while it wasn't worth it buying them for resells, pretty stupid

 

[TGO]

Sony should go ahead and drop the price of the PS5.
Rub some salt in that wound..

 

[VAVA Mk2]

good ...fuck them scalpers.

 

[winjer]

It was in reference to the scalpers unable to offload, not your post.

They should have offloaded a while ago, as mentioned already.

Hey scalpers.

Live by the sword, die by the sword.

There was a time to make money doing this and it's long since passed. It's always those who are late to the game that get left with their pants down holding the bag.

Oh

Yeah LOL fuckers

 

[3liteDragon]

Good.

 

[ZoukGalaxy]

GOOD. Let's them die, scum of humanity, and find a real job.

Or just ask to your bots army to find one for you

Writing was on the wall to stop scalping as far as back as october/november. Some of these dudes were probably hoping for stock issues to start up again. Enjoy the losses.

Didn't know people were still scalping PS5s considering they're super easy to get now. I got one last Sunday and they're in stock everywhere.

"Awwwh that so sad" he said sarcastically

Been the case for ages in the UK. Scalpers not even making a profit on eBay, lucky to break even after eBay cut + shipping.

If you're gonna try and make money this way at least don't be a fuckin' idiot about it.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Now car dealers can stop scalping cars. Thanks.

They should ride the CFW wave in the next 9 to 12 months. If those systems were produced early enough in the life cycle, having an early system version will be desirable for "homebrew" folks.

 

[H4ze]

Good, they can fuck right off.

 

[skit_data]

If they've kept scalping them up til now they are fucking stupid tbh, should have sold what they accumulated months ago. I hope they end up having to sell them for a much less than what they initially paid.

 

[ÆMNE22A!C]

The scalpers do

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

Karma's a crusty, droopy tits bitch.

 

[ReBurn]

I'll give them $300 for a digital version

 

[Spyxos]

How stupid and greedy you have to be if you didn't see it coming. Fuck them.

Checks PS5 price in retailstores... You bet scalpers are having a hard time selling... Its to expensive at retail already.

 

[zcaa0g]

LOL at those fuckers that are also paying the minimum on the credit cards each month. Serves the little bitches right.

 

[TheGrat1]

The only ones suffering at this point are the ones that were greedy and tried to hoard dozens if not hundreds of units. The people who bought two or three extra to make a few hundred to a couple thousand extra flipped their last PS5 and got out of the game years ago. The perfect counterbalance to greed is risk and that risk has come up and slapped them in the face like a wet fish. Should not have been so gluttonous, homie.

 

[BadBurger]

I saw PS5's on shelves and all of the accessories in stock at the local Best Buy. I did a double take and had to stop for a few seconds to take it in. The pandemic is truly over. We men now.

 

[adamsapple]

Good. Fuck 'em.

 

[Putonahappyface]

Delightfuly satisfying.

 

[peronmls]

obvious scalper being obvious. No place for you here.

 

[Alebrije]

Yea , this years they greed has been unstopable....specially Ford dealers..

 

[dave_d]

So long story short these scalpers are yet more people who should take econ 101.

only dumb scalpers pay retail prices

Apps like crepchiefnotify and others exist for good reason. I was able to flip around 400 units within 2 months at launch , got them at like 40% off retail too.

If true you are an asshole (a smarter one) and part of the problem.
