    Stuck In Evil Mode For 31 Days Prestigious

    I just don’t understand why you’re doing it other than to be a dick to both someone wanting to buy one and someone missing out on a preorder because you want to sell it. Like do you, but no one in here is gonna side with you scalping a preorder.

    Yeah @uuu i get that it's appealing but generally scalping systems because the stock is low is a shitty thing to do from a moral standpoint, i'm sure with a little research you can find someone local that is looking for one and will be insanely grateful if you pass it over to them at a normal price.

    It's a different thing if you own something that is limited or rare.

    Imagine how fucking pumped someone who hasn't landed anything yet would be if you gave them a preorder for PS5 or XSX at the asking price?

    I think selling a luxury good slightly over asking price to someone who could also wait two months to play the Spiderman DLC isn’t exactly scummy, that’s a little harsh. Not great though.

    Nah. Scummy as fuck. Fucking scalpers coming in and bragging about scalping in a thread full of people who are having a hard time getting pre-orders. Capitalist fuckin pigs.

    Can't imagine taking advantage of someone's misfortune just to make a couple bucks for myself tbh. That's just me though.

    Not getting a PS5 at lauunch to me doesn’t qualify as misfortune

    Also I’m not saying it’s a cool thing to do, I Just don’t agree that scalping luxury goods is outright evil lol

    Scalpers are shit and that's that.

    It's a misfortune if somebody wanted one, tried and failed to get one, and now is stuck potentially without one. Taking advantage of people is wrong, that's what scalping is.

    I think very rarely is selling a console that just came out (and will likely be widely be available soon) above asking price “taking advantage” of someone because in 99% of cases the buyer doesn’t actually need it, like at all. He’s not scalping bread or hand sanitizer. So I’m sticking with not cool but also not evil.
