Well shit... Ps5
#27075635 - 12/06/20 04:23 PM (3 years, 2 months 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.

cause you can't buy any right now. They're all bought out by re sellers who bought them for 500 and are trying to sell them for 3000 there were bid wars some I believe went for as high as 20,000 lol

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

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