You say scummy scalpers like it isn't every random person also doing it. Every time I've heard of someone coming across an extra one the last year they've had zero qualms about selling it for a profit. The only difference is that some people decide to do it more often.
As a sibling comment bored, there are ways to deal with this, but honestly other than selling them at market price or somehow making more, most options are limited, because that's just how the market works.

- kbenson 5y agoWe're not talking about food or medicine here. It's a leisure machine. I'm not going to begrudge someone making a couple hundred extra bucks because they got lucky. That money isn't coming from you or me, it's coming from Sony, who could be selling at that price but isn't because they want to manage customer expectations. PS5s cost the market price, and Sony happens to sell some at a steep discount, and some people make some money out of that. If Sony didn't sell at that discount, you'd still have to pay the same amount, but Sony would be getting the money, because the market demand and current supply is such that PS5s cost a lot of money.
