Will this end up being another scalper rettbone failure like WiiU?
Switch 2
wii u's are back to like 300$ so if she kept those in the boxes they would be worth alot again
Is this what scalpers look like?
yeah all scalpers are secretly thick milfs
Probably- overpriced system and poor lineup
unironically yes. i remember when the wii released, my mother wanted one for my brother so she made me stand in line outside an electronics store to get one because she had work.
half the people in the line were boomers bragging about how they were going to buy 10 of them, ignoring the fact that the store had a limit of 1 per customer.
At launch the Wii U was sold out
Ever see spics in LA having brawls over pokemon card boxes in Costco?
Yeah because of scalpers but regular people didn’t buy them anyway
The scalpers that I have ran into are usually 30-50 year old men. Typically scrawny, wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses. They will usually want to tell you about how many other stores they've gone to, how many they have secured, and why it is stupid for you to continue standing in line.
im curious to see what supply looks like 3 months after launch.
I used to make $100k a year as a side hustle reselling secondhand stuff) but I stopped because it feels dishonorable even though I'm technically doing nothing wrong
Now I'm just depressed
It's mindboggling they wait overnight at Gamestop just to earn a measly profit on the boxes they sell
$100k a year as a side hustle reselling secondhand stuff
Did you go to every possible yard sale? It’s fucking hard to find good deals because everyone is a “I KNOW WHAT I GOT” boomer that price checks everything on their phones.
I live in a decently rich part of the country and most people genuinely do not give a fuck, they just want to get rid of shit
Damn. I don’t even want to resell but I just want to find cool rare games that aren’t going for ebay tier prices. I never have any luck doing this. Can you share any tips?
NTA: Go to yard sales and estate sales in rich neighborhoods. Don't bother with poorfags or even middle class.
I am that anon; genuinely do not bother with estate sales. For your own sanity. BIGGEST scum of the earth there, largest competition, most "i know what i got" people. Just stick with yar sales, facebook marketplace. Give your phone number to people who say they might have something. 8 times out of 10 you don't get a call back but it's worth it.
Thanks brother. What were some of your best finds?
Unfortunately she killed herself after spending her and her husband's life savings on Wii Us.
Some lady gave be a stack of empty Game Boy boxes she was gonna throw away for free. Mostly Mario, Pokemon. Probably not the best money-wise, but it was the most memorable. I insisted on paying but she didn't want me to. They're still in my collection today, probably worth around $600 today.
People like this should get robbed at gunpoint.
Ah, very good! Shame about the wii u's.
Found the nigger
Nah, they can't afford the internet.
scalpers in 2025
the big 3 have caught on now. they enforce 1 limit per customer. they need people buying games because hardware loses them money. people sitting on 20 PS5s was the worst scenario possible for sony.
nintendo will have an excess of inventory after launch and enforce companies to have a 1 limit per customer rule
yeah. who's gonna buy a wahoo bing kids toy for $600+
UK pre-orders opened up 3 days ago and I was just able to buy one on the official site right now so it doesn't seem like they're selling like hotcakes
Considering Nintendo has been doing everything to give the middle finger to scalpers, you can be sure that the high numbers you'll see once the console releases will be mostly true purchases.
She's probable in her 60's now.
doubt. they have far more available than any other console launch, but they will still likely sell out day 1. Wii U also sold out at launch and there were successful scalpers so I don't understand why this image is always posted
so I don't understand why this image is always posted
Snoys misinformation campaign failed so the only thing they have left is comparing it to the WiiU and falseflag. Remember that most snoys are fourth worlders who don't even own a modern console.
snoy snoy snoy
its crazy how this anon was most likely born the same year this image was taken
Considering Nintendo has been doing everything to give the middle finger to scalpers
Lol. They're having fewer problems than everyone else.
KEK
Also Indians are big time scalpers.
Resell niggers get the rope first
Excellent investment, 0% for the first 13 years.
This is a lie
EVERY FUCKING TIME I go to an outlet to buy clothing for work there’s Jeets and Chinks fucking EVERYWHERE mindlessly walking around on their iphones.
