Scalpers are a worldwide problem.
Regardless of all walks of life, as long as there is something scarce, it will be interfered with by scalpers.
You see, I don't even use the word "possibly" because there is inevitability.
Since the launch of the PS5, due to the shortage of chips leading to insufficient production capacity, coupled with the scalper's rampant, under the double attack, many players want to shoot but can't grab it at all, preferring not to play rather than patronize the scalper.
Players can't buy consoles, scalpers can't sell them, and they lose both.
Online can not grab scalpers and scripts, of course, you can also choose some second-hand trading platforms.
Whether it is "licking the dog to send" or "the wife said not to sell the divorce", anyway, as long as there is a chance to buy, no matter how bizarre the reason for the change of hands, or some people are willing to choose this way of trading.
This point is probably similar at home and abroad, the only difference is that even if there is a problem in the domestic second-hand transaction, at most there will be some property loss.
Foreign countries are more exciting, bad luck, may encounter a blood and light disaster.
On Thursday, January 6 of this year, two Canadian lads wanted to resell four PS5s to a benevolent brother they met through social apps, and in the evening the buyer showed up in a car.
When the two sellers were preparing to take away a large number of banknotes, the buyer (let's call it this) decisively pulled out the troll, implemented a "zero yuan purchase" on the seller, and then successfully left the crime scene with four PS5s.
Thankfully, this pair of difficult brothers did not suffer any harm, it is a broken money to block the disaster, PS5 can not be bought again, people do not have the opportunity to reopen the game.
At present, there is no news that the police have caught the suspect, but it is revealed that the implementation of the zero-yuan purchase is a black brother in his twenties, no other meaning, it is mentioned like this.
Coincidentally, in November last year, there was a similar case in Texas, the United States, which was also resold of PS5 offline, and also encountered a brother with a gun "zero yuan purchase".
It's hard to say if the Canadian robber was inspired by this case.
However, the buyer's luck was not good, and he was shot by the seller as soon as they met, but fortunately he was only injured.
The funny thing is that the PS5 was snatched away and injured, but the PS5 was lying on the ground and was not snatched away, what is this?
Players and scalpers love and enthusiasm for the PS5, everyone can see it, every time the national bank is on sale, it is basically a grand situation of seconds, even if it is a single 30 years of hand speed.
This situation is similar in Japan's local market, and in order to solve the problem of supply and demand, the official has tried to sell by lottery.
Of course, this does not completely filter out the scalper lottery, and the situation of high-priced resale is still not getting better.
But even if you are willing to buy scalpers at a high price, you may not be able to get what you want, and what is even more hateful than scalpers is that there are fake scalpers who resell PS5s in the name of issuing fake goods to buyers.
Strictly speaking, it should be said that it is a parallel cargo, because he is issuing a bottle of 2L of water. Well, real parallel goods...
Why has someone been tricked into this? On the one hand, the relationship between supply and demand is tense, and it is difficult to find an opportunity.
The second is that the fake scalper's opening price is low enough, and the price of 65,000 yen (about 3,600 yuan) is very close to the official price.
Look, the scammer once again proved the truth of "cheap and no good goods", be careful of deception.
In fact, in the end, the scalper aims at the strange goods that can be lived in this truth, as long as we do not buy, let the scalpers' goods are smashed in their hands, one day the scalpers will understand that we are really not good.
If you really can't hold back, you may wish to go deeper to persuade yourself, now the real PS5 game is not much, PS4Pro can still play, and then wait for a year or two after the chip crisis has passed, there is always a chance to buy PS5 at the original price.
Resist scalpers, start with me, let the profiteers get out of the game circle, and hope that this vision can be realized as soon as possible.
