Do scalpers get some sick entertainment from getting messages from poor people accusing them of being cockroaches who deserve to have their dicks cut off over their pricing/stock hoarding?

I just searched for "console scalping" and picked the most appropriate image I found.

So get over it.

The secret scalpers never want you to know:

Just because you CAN afford something doesn't mean you HAVE to spend it.

Protip: most scalpers are retards with no sense of identity preservation. Buy their scalped shit, take down their contact info, and then get a chargeback from your credit card company. Most platforms theyโ€™re conducting the transaction through already have rules against scalping, and in some areas itโ€™s even illegal, so they canโ€™t pursue you for fucking THEM over in return.

Most of the scalpers I see just advertise locally so they just want cash or Zelle for an in-person sale.

I'll bring my 1911.

If you own one of them, sure.

If you bought EVERY SINGLE ONE just so you could mark it up at your own leisure then that's bullshit because I could have afforded it until you denied me the chance to buy one at MSRP.

Scalper here, we post them on our discord server and laugh at them. Most days I just ship things off to TBG tho.

Personally, if I'm gonna be owning a surplus of the same consoles, I would need a good purpose for that. Maybe if you were using these for events like conventions or just happened to need one in case another fails for spare parts, it would be good but this is apalling.

I want a series X but all my favorite games already exist on the 360 and are backwards compatible for the One, and those that are not - well I've got a 360.
Why should I get any new console? Switch 2, PS5, Xbox Series X - why get any?

No. Unless the game gets remastered you will see very little improvement if at all. It's like watching a DVD on a Blu-ray player. The hardware doesn't magically make it better.

Really the enhancements are better spent on things like framerate.

Rift Apart has better options for its performance modes on Pro consoles.

Haven't scalpers moved onto more niche hobbies at this point where stock is way more limited and their artificial control works better?

I went to a friend's place and he had Demon's Soul's on his PS5. It may be my autism but while it looks pretty, it doesn't sound or look right, does that make sense? It made me pull out my old copy.

It's a gamble, some are willing to take it.

When a new product launches there's no telling if the manufacturer has properly prepared for demand so all the would-be scalpers leap onto it in order to capitalize on it if they didn't. But if they make the wrong call then they're left holding the bag, especially when stores are like "fuck off" if they try to refund their purchases.

You already own nothing when you get a ps5 it's basically a vending machine that you're paying to have in your house so you can be monetized more easily, just like an Alexa.

This for me because it broke and the increased frame rate is a bonus. Future proof for 9th gen titles too. I don't care about snoy trash movies/exclusives.

On seriex, the hardware boosts fps and resolution while on ps5, you have to download a separate 'next gen' version. I have both system and stopped playing the seies x.
