I totally refuse to buy from scalpers.
And I encourage all of you here don't do that also.
This is a game console, it is not even a limited edition, and it is not a vintage thing and never will. It is an electronic product and it has a lifespan. Someday in future, a newer, better and more powerful version will replace it, just like PS5 replaces a PS4. When manufacturer firmware & hardware support stops, the product has reached the end of its lifecycle. It may still works, and it will rely on 3rd party parts and repairs should anything go faulty.
With all these reasoning, the PS5 shouldn't be seen as higher than its retail price value.
I think most of us here did not buy from scalpers.
Scalpers who purchased many units will probably find it hard to sell off all their units too.
The Economy isn’t doing well. More People are unwilling to spend 2x the retail price for the console.
Once stock level goes back to normal, these scalpers will be forced to sell at lower than the retail value.
