indifferent.

Don't care particularly but if people are retarded enough to buy from scalpers then scalpers deserve to exist.

do they realize that they will have to pay taxes for the reselling? i hope not

Don't really care, and I'm not gonna feel sorry for them when a couple months pass and now they have 15,000 dollars worth of PS5 they can't sell.

I'm convinced sony is retarded enough to draw a conclusion that the next console should be priced at $1500 because people are willing to pay for it

Scalpers are dumb and so are the people who buy from them

Scalpers create an unnecessary "secondary market" without being licensed to actually sell the product. If someone buys a console and decides to resell it, that's fine. But if a business is actually getting thousands of a product to resell for higher value, it's fucking backwards.

What?

If you actually think this, you're the fucking retard. The PS2 sold for thousands also in 2000 due to highly limited stock. Sony doesn't base it's prices off fucking scalpers.

This. The same people bemoaning loot boxes and scalers online then throw their money at them. Gamers are pathetic.

I don't buy scalped shit because I'm not retarded, it just sucks having to wait fucking months to buy a product from a vendor because some shitsucking scalper and his bots buy all the merchandise. And fuck the dumb consoomers who buy from scalpers.

i don't judge the ignorant, buying or selling, it's not worth flipping out over one way or another since the ps5 is just upgraded hardware for the "playstation" brand or whatever.

the real crime is the same that it ever was: calling the ps4 pro a "pro" when it still has an hdd, lol

I don't really care as long as companies aren't scalping their own products like MSI did. All tech companies can do is make more hardware, people act like it's just scalpers with bots creating these shortages when there's genuinely just not enough supply to meet demand. Scalpers have always been an issue when new tech launches

if you buy from them it's your fault.

I fully support their decisions in taking as much consolefag money as humanly possible.

Just imagine there are probably people out there who took massive loans and sold half their property to buy as many consoles as possible, but then can't even sell a fraction of them and fucked themselves over. It makes me laugh

I hope they get robbed by niggers.

It's the kind of turbofaggotry you can't help but laugh at. I don't really give a fuck if they make a profit or not, they're just incredibly pathetic people and lose either way

NOBODY FUCKING FORCES YOU TO BUY FROM THEM OR ANYONE.

STOP FUCKING CRYING YOU RETARDED CONSUMER SUBHUMAN

But I want a new card and I don't want to shell out 3000 dollars to some shithead who bought litterally every card.

Wait

They only exist because retards buy from them. Blame the retards.

If scalping is working, it means demand is VASTLY outstripping supply and that hardware companies simply aren’t charging enough for their product. Be prepared for huge price hikes.

That's the plan. I'd rather go without a GPU entirely than give one penny to these turbofags.

Wouldn't increasing the supply make more sense? How difficult is it to produce a GPU anyway?

Some sites are doing backorders, I think EVGA do it directly from their site if you're in the US too. Things are kinda looking up

Why don’t these websites have a limit on how many things you can buy and get sent to one address? Like it’s that easy to stop scalping?

Bots user. There's a reason shit gets bought out within milliseconds of launch.

They're paying the retard tax.

>Problem 100% solved by exercising an ounce of willpower
>NOOOO WHY WONT THE GOVERNMENT FIX THIS FOR ME!!

But aren’t they all getting this shit sent to one address? Why can’t the retailers go oh this address is getting 50 PS5s he might be reselling these
