Why are Switch 2 prices skyrocketing?

>>713545137 (OP)
it's a failure, nintendo already discounting it

>>713545137 (OP)
I will just sell a night with my bussy to the highest bidder and spend the proceeds on a Switch 2.

>>713545137 (OP)
Out of curiosity i checked online stores here and its sold out in all of them

desperate scalpers i imagine

>>713545137 (OP)
Switch 2 is selling like hotcakes even after they tried to beat the scalping situation by delaying it. Japan specially is suffering from supply issues.

Is this a PS5 situation?
Scalpers buying so many consoles they sell out and most people not even trying to get the machine.

Anyone with a brain knew this was going to happen. I bought 2 extra and already flipped them to get a free switch 2 basically

The most popular food in America is fast food
The most popular video games are mobile
The most popular music is Taylor Swift
You can say the Switch 2 is successful without saying it's good.

unpopular electronics usually command a high price for their niche audience

Now show what is actually selling, not what people are asking

Resale prices are only $50-$100 over msrp, even on ebay where they take a shit load of the money.

All scalpers do is show nintendo what it's really worth.
so if nintendo refuses to take that money and sell it below market value then scalpers happily will.

Stock has really slowed down. I work at a best buy and outside of the occasional 2-3 units we've been told to tell people to check around donkey kong

Has best buy transitioned to allocating some stock for in person only? there online ordering has been fucked by bots for a while now.

>>713547985
Most of our stock is in store. The online orders are usual sent out by larger stores once they reserve enough supply. If you really want one though best buy or gamestop online you're best bet is the bundles or get a my best buy membership. Those guys tend to get priority. At least locally we've been getting a few switches daily. It's really been slowing down though. Launch week through last thrusday we were getting quite a few. This week we're projected to get like 10.

I actually bought one at like 6pm on launch day at a Best Buy. Was shocked they had stock that long. Had no plans on getting one till I started seeing all the news about overstock. Kind of glad I did seeing as a shortage is looming.

Why are you looking at resellers instead of actual retailers and pretending they are raising prices?
Can you not go a single thread without some kind of misinformation?

>>713548832
Not op, but to be fair for a good while most resellers were eating shit and selling it at a 40-120 upsell. Now that stock is drying up they can crank up those prices

>>713548832
reseller price is a measurement of demand and supply anon

>>713545137 (OP)
Because we live in the age of "people don't wanna fucking work anymore", or as I've heard more often than I want, "It'S aLl AbOuT tHe HuStLe"
The worst part is, most of, if not all of these will sell

>>713545137 (OP)
>secondhand sales
This isn't new, we've been seeing this shit with the Wii.

>>713548832
good idea go try and buy one at any retailer... Oh wait they are all out

>>713545137 (OP)
I would gladly buy one that is console banned for 100-200 dollars. Kek

>>713545137 (OP)
Not my problem, they're available in Germany.

>>713545137 (OP)
Because there is no stock anymore and only scalpers now. Don't be a retard of buying from them.

where the fuck do I get a switch 2
do I have to call stores every single fucking day and ask?
