Typical Vultures....
 

Ok, so everybody in the gaming world knows about supply problems plaguing the new Xbox Series X and Playstation 5s, with many people no longer being able to preorder them. That hasn't stopped some people from capitalising on that however.

For example:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Xbox-Seri....c100008.m2219

RRP for a Series X is £449

And for a PS5 things get worse:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sony-PS5-....c100005.m1851

RRP is also £449

It makes my blood boil. :mad:

If folk are daft enough to pay the prices you can’t blame the sellers...

Does it boil because the prices being asked or the stupidity of those that pay?
If it were medicine I may take a different view
How much is the xbox worth, as much as someone will pay for it.

If a buyer is not that wealthy that they have silly money to spend I guess it is hard on them but in time they will get the xbox for "sensible" money.

No different to Nvidia RTX 3 series cards.. There will always be price gougers out there when there is demand, more fool those who can't wait!

It happens with everything. It annoys me when people will deliberately have several pre-orders of limited editions, just to sell them on.

Most recently the annoying one was a model railway shop claiming to have not been given enough supply of models to fulfil all their pre-orders, and yet the next day they had some for sale at over inflated prices on their eBay account. And then a few days ago they put a post on facebook stating they'd 'found' some sets in their warehouse, and they were also listed at around £70 over the RRP.
