WHY YOU CAN'T FIND PS5 or XBSX in Stock

  • I've been waiting to review the PS5 and Xbox Series X but still to this day cannot find these consoles in stock for their retail prices. The reason why? Scalpers. New laws may be coming to fruition that will may bot purchasers and resellers illegal and prosecutable crimes. I still want to review both of these consoles but I refuse to pay double the cost for each console on Ebay.

      Even if you hate twitter sign up and follow a few of the stock tracker accounts, set up accounts with all the major retailers and have you card info pre input into the sites, learn which days retailers generally restock as they all mostly follow a pattern.

      Give it another few months and everyone will be able to get one. Honestly as someone who has both, outside of faster load times, slightly better resolution, and higher frame rate there is zero reason to own either right now.

      You can also use bots to get the scalpers back. There was a guy on Reddit that used eSnipe to put in a last second bid on an eBay auction for a PS5. The top bid was like $80 for a couple days. He put a bid of $550 as his top bid into esnipe and the esnipe bot put his bid in at the last second. With shipping, he ended up paying $235. He even provided a screenshot and he isnt the only one. If you go to eBay and look at the finished auctions, you will find that there are quite a few people that paid well below retail. Unfortunately, most listings are not auctions

    What I dont get is how there are enough people willing to pay the higher price that these bot user aren't bankrupting themselves. How are they not sitting on 100s if not 1000s of units that they can't sell because people don't want to pay 2x the price. Most of all, Sony is selling counsels at a loss in hopes of profiting on higher game prices. If units are sitting collecting dust then they are losing way more and will result in future consoles having a higher price tag to protect their own profits next time around. Lastly wouldn't the easiest way to fix this to be to opening up another pre-order allowing for one unit per address, and allowing a second unit to be purchased 3 or 6 months later.

      More PS5's were ordered and sold in the the first 12 weeks, as the same as the PS4 sold in 12 months. Supply is there, scalpers are literally sat on thousands upon thousands of them. Once Sony get enough out to saturate the market, I hope every last scalper gets stuck with their PS5's or sell them at a huge loss to get rid of them. There's been plenty of supply, the scalpers, regardless of supply will still steal as many as they can for their own greed.

  • @shaunsteele4968

    As more of an example and proof. I can remember getting my ps4 from a gamestop fairly new to the market because gamsstop was not so online with their inventory, that they could tell you what the store had. So the stores would actually recieve copies to set on a shelf for at least a few minutes. You had to call and find out when and make yourself available for it physically. Don't have to do any of that now. They aren't touching shelves at all now either.

    I’m going to say that is 2022 now, and I actually bought the ps5 on PlayStation direct when it was restocked. I waited one year to get my hand in one of those hard-to-get consoles since my fiancĂ© n me were planning to buy it once I hear the news of restocking on one of those retail stores. It also saved myself on buying it to a scalper on eBay. I was super lucky that after so many tries of making the payment through my card to match the address I secured mine to the last hour before PlayStation direct close.

I wanted the xbox when it came out and its taken till a week ago to get one at retail price cos I refuse to buy from a bot reseller, the more we ignore over priced items, the more they will stop buying up all the stock, stop buying overpriced products thats another way to overcome this problem!
