Well shit... Ps5
    #27075635 - 12/06/20 04:23 PM (3 years, 1 month ago)

Bored and buzzed, I decided to post my ps5 and spiderman for 2500.00. I honestly didn't think I would get any offers.

Well, this guy came at me with a 1000.00, but I said no and threw 2000.00. he came back at 1500.00..

I paid 485.00 for the ps5 and 50.00 for the game. That's around a 965.00 gain.

I didn't want to sell it, but now I'm thinking I maybe might...

It will be awhile before any decent games will drop and I already beat spiderman.

I could even try and aquire 2 more and continue to sell them.

You can sell it and then re buy it when they're cheaper and available again.

My friend got an offer for his AR-15 when there was the Obama gun ban potential that ended up not passing and all the guns and ammo were sold out.

He got an offer for 15,000 for it and turned it down, he paid 850 for it and 100 dollars on attachments, that was a 1,500% gain and he passed up on it lol and then stores a year or so later were all stocked all the same as normal.

The ps5 doesn't even compare spec wise for the most part to my 2 year old PC lol, I got my shit on black friday back then and did an entire build of some seriously nice shit for 1,500. 2 years ago and my specs shit on the ps5, the ps5 has one piece of tech that you can't get with pc's from what I understand and the tech only helps with load times anyway.

I'd sell if for 2K and wouldn't lose sleep over it.

Don't sell it to anyone fucking with online money. Cash and in person only. Many scammers out there jumping on stuff like that.

Oh absolutely, I actively sell on eBay myself.

I just meant not to bother with Facebook marketplace / craigslist folks who are trying to get you to mail it to them or something. 50/50 chance it's a scammer.

ive bought and sold several consoles (xbox, playstation) thru craigslist and never had any issues :shrug: also bought/sold music instruments, furniture and have had the occasional casual encounter thru CL lol


but, youre not wrong. definitely some shady people out there. i think FB might be a little more secure than CL tho since you can view a persons profile and whatnot.

must do your due diligence!

I waited like a year to long to get the ps4 now the ps5 already out, I think a lot of people will still be playing ps4 for a long time before needing a ps5 becomes too necessary tho like if Gta6 comes out I’ll get a ps5 when gta6 comes out. The price I don’t understand. Btw I been Playing gta5 on ps4.

If you sell it for the reasons you mentioned then that's understandable.  Maybe to be fair, you could sell it for around $800?  You'd get your money back and a nice bonus for all your troubles, and then someone or some kid can wakeup on Christmas day to find out that they got one after all :amazedohmygod:

But if it's really about making money?

Then please don't do it.  Their are a lot of people who genuinely want a PS5, Xbox Series X or a new GPU, and they can't because of scalpers.  Obviously scalping isn't new, but we're in a situation that has been difficult for many people (2020) and still, we get people being outright greedy.

Btw, I reckon that some of the scalpers are the same people that try and scam old and vulnerable people out of their money  :billythumbdown:.

Please don't make money out of people's desperation :thumbdown:.

Can it really be called desperation when it is a complete luxury item? Not so sure about that.

I wouldn't call a ps5 a luxury item.  Just like smartphones (which we definitely don't need to survive), a ps5 would be considered a normal household item for people in a first world country.

I wasn't so much talking about the guy who is willing to pay $1500.  I'm talking about people that find it hard enough to pay the recommended retail price, let alone having to find extra money to pay the scalpers.

They should have thrown down for a preorder.  That's how shit goes

:justdontknow:

Also it's mostly on Sony for not imposing a three console limit (or something like that) on billing addresses.  This would have made it infinitely  harder for the guys tryna buy 20 of em.  Getting em from 20 diff places ?  Not too hard.  Getting twenty different billing addresses for preorders?  Yeah right, then everyone could have had a ps5.  I Hate Sony, not the players of the game.  Sony is fucked bc they would have literally made the same $$$$ either way, they just don't care. Hel they could have jacked the msrp and it would have been more fair

When the pandemic first started, I thought that the PS5 and Xbox Series X was going to be delayed to sometime in 2021.  It seems like they wanted to still go ahead but obviously they couldn't produce as much stock due to covid-19 restrictions.  Sony and other companies definitely should have done things different, so yes they are part of the problem.  Most companies want customers and happy ones at that, so while they might not care care, they still would have to care somewhat or else they'll lose customers and in the end money.

Anyway I hope Cracked Egg doesn't try to get thousands for his PS5, but it's a free world so he can do whatever he wants.

Finally, a video on the subject of scalpers.

i almost drove an hour away to buy a ps5 from a walmart tonight but decided against it because there wasnt a guarantee i would get one. internet said walmart was putting some stock on the shelf today (in-store only, no online) and tomorrow. i used brickseek to check inventory and it said limited..

but i passed on it. 1st gen, new releases are always a little buggy and i feel like i should just wait until 2nd gen comes out. plus i have tons of games ive yet to play (ps4 and x1)

My guy.. I got you. I'll get a ps5 in your hands before Christmas!

I'm also going to hook you up with that membership discount.

350.00 for the console. 50.00 for the controller. I'll throw in the game for free. And then of course 2000.00 for shipping. Lmk how you want to pay.

All bullshit aside, I should have waited for the second gen as well, but my dumb ass told everyone under the sun that I will be getting a ps5 when it first drops. I talked about it for at least a year. Considering I'm a man of my word, I couldn't not get one. How lame would I have looked if I didn't get one.

:facepalm:
