[Sad News] Scalpers already got their hand on Switch 2 units

Reality is never as interesting as the fabrication

Many such cases

Weird cope thread

And now scalpers know where to buy 100 switch 2. Once they find out where the store is, they're going to flood the line with their own people and buy out all 100 switch 2 asap.

Please stop doing this [Emotion News] meme. I know it's to joke about how journalists tell their retarded readers how to feed about certain topics but it's just stupid to do it here.

It's the free market at work.
The price for a thing is how much people are willing to pay for it.

This is in italy
It is a small business owner picking up his supply from a supplier, it is not a scalper.
Reminder that all outrage bait on Anon Babble is made by retards for retards and if you believe any of it without looking for a source you are the zoomer retarded moron falling for bait shamelessly

An unauthorized reseller is a scalper. If the scaler is so.successfup he has an entire store, that makes him more of a scalper not less.

I'm sorry but if you can't afford $450 then a Switch 2 is the least of your worries

Release games

literally nothing you haven't played before

So a Playstation 5?

can't mod it without it turning into a brick

it's a dead in the water console. no one's gonna buy this thing except for 30+ year old manchildren with disposable income. who the fuck is gonna pay 80 bucks for bing bing wahoo besides them?

if you aren't selling a product @ or below msrp you're a scalper simple as.

Yes, that too

can't mod it without it turning into a brick

1) That's a completely unsubstantiated gbatemp thread
2) You are retarded

Scalpers insure all of you can buy a Switch 2, even after they all sold out. They provide a valuable service.

A scalper with a physical store is still a scalper, also I seriously doubt he'll sell at at MSRP

Hes just an unofficial reseller which is the same as scalper. he can sell them at any price

Thought so, because zero business would sell that many S2 without Ninty getting hard killsassins already dispatched.

Yeah you couldn't buy one because this guy bought everything but he's a hero for allowing you to buy from him for double the price

[OP is a faggot]

$450

He thinks I'm Canadian

Where the console is either $630 for the basic one or $700 for the bundle

Just fucking take over and annex my country already, I'm sick of these motherfuckers and retards illegally dropping pajeets and bootlicking the fucking CCP and lying to our fucking faces about everything-

Anon fell for ledditfrog bait

Every time

He thinks I'm Canadian

No, I said nothing of the sort I think you meant

He thinks I'm NOT Canadian

You're not even a white Canadian are you?

That makes no sense. Why would they even be available at wholesale? They would have all sold out at that level multiple months ago. Also they would be packed in cases.
I don't see how he could have ordered them directly from a store either. the quantity is too high. Maybe if he went to many stores. But in any case, he would have paid retail price, so at his store he is selling for over MSRP and "scalping"

My mother's side of the family is Irish/Austrian, from what I remember. Honestly, I just really want the Pajeets fucking gone and for Canada to just be wholly annexed.

scalp scalpers

He can't go 1 day without making up something else.

Tendies need to play their toys NOW

Fuck scalpers.

page 10 bump

It's not a scalper dipshit, it's a shop owner.

You are fucking retarded.

Hello, I'm the guy in OP. I'm not clearing retail inventory to resell and upmark them, I'm burning them all to the ground for countersignalling our patriotic tarriffs against their exploitation of Vietcong manufacturing.

shop owners are just legal scalpers

plus tip.

Plus tariff

Your buddy is gay

He bought 100 because he already had a lot of preorders

Article is somewhat interesting. They did the journey to ensure they had the stock for all the pre-orders. It's in unprecedented demand and they were worried about taking it all through gang territory.
Anyway, whatever cope you need isn't enough if you have to come up with

shop owners are legal scalpers

I used to hate scalpers but during Smash 3DS and Smash 4's release I think people were paying hundreds of dollars just to get their hands on a demo even when the game was like a week away. Nintendo fans should stop making themselves so easy to swindle if they want these kinds of people to go away.

Inb4 rettbone

fucking based. the paypigs will buy it

Retard

thats fine as long as he sells them for retail price

Fuck scalpers.

Pretty cool guy for making sure his customers will get their orders.

Not my problem.

Tendies ordered from Nintendo.

Kek, barely anyone who registered with Nintendo actually got to preorder.

just don't buy it
all you have to do is do nothing and they lose
yet they always win
you fucking tools

I did.

reading comprehension

You think tendies didn't pay for online, get thousands of hours and not lock in their pre-order? Delusional.

Not everyone who registered got to preorder, some have to wait until after launch before ordering from nintendo

Tendies? The Snoys are just as guilty. The only ones clean are the Xbros because not even they want that paper weight.

I did.

man fuck italy. who cares.

why the fuck would anyone buy an scalped switch at a higher price??? literally everyone was complaining about the price, why buy it from scalpers
like i already knew they are retards but holy shit

Super Switch naming way better

This image has been posted like 10 to 15 times before you decided to add 'scalping' to it.

True
False

As long as scalpers keep getting money from retards buying from scalpers then they will keep doing it. I blame the people buying from them just as much as the scalpers themselves, if they suffered financial losses from buying hundreds of switch 2's then scalping would very quickly dry up.

Stop using suspicious activity in ebay

He's just a Slovenian retailer!

So all you have to do to be a scalp is say you are a "retailer"? Thats pretty smart

and they were worried about taking it all through gang territory

the absolute state of everywhere in the world

kick out shareholders

lose billions of dollars instantly

swell idea, I can see why you're in charge of a multinational business.

I did.

dude all you have to do is have a license and a professional account and legally do things?

Once again Snoys and Republicans use the exact same sort of propaganda.
You can even see their angle right here >Don't get a Switch 2, you gotta stop this 'scalper' we found

video games in general are for children, anon

Why would you pay extra for a console.
You either wait a little or if you are desperate on release you had multiple occasions to secure yourself one.

you had multiple occasions to secure yourself one

Huh? Literally every online store sold out within minutes.

that is my pic, yes for real. ask me anything, I can also prove it

Were Nintendo consoles ever scalped? I never paid attention

OH NO NO NO TENDIES WHAT DO WE DO NOW

Wrong. A reseller is a reseller. When you buy at whole sale you buy at a fraction of the price + no sales tax. If he is a shop owner then he will not be charging scalper prices.

A scalper is a piece of shit that grabs up an item to flip immediately at extortionist prices.

man I'm gonna use that as an excuse for everything. you westcucks really got pushed into not being able to say anything about slavs ever since russia began pushing ukrain's shit in

Nintendos own pre order thing
I checked a while ago and at least then, found sites that still offered pre-orders in my country
Doing a quick check I found a store that hasn't opened pre-order yet.
As a last resort you can always try to get one from a local shop.

Also found one shop that takes order for the next batch expected for 18. July

based, fuck tendie paypigs

mad cuz bad
scalpers just want the switch 2 more than you tendie

scalping some shit that no one cares about

Bro lol

the picture literally says "their distributor" you brain dead nigger

Nintendos own pre order thing

Their email said I have to wait until after launch

As a last resort you can always try to get one from a local shop

"dude just get in line at 6am so you can get one from the midnight launch"

I bet in europe you just have to get one from a shop 5min before opening hours, but I don't care enough to verify it.
Maybe times changed and people here became just as sweaty about it too. After all Millenials started believing American laws apply here too.

correct, and I'm a manchild and I'll never grow up or accept real responsibilities so in my waking rot I need toys like video games to keep me happy because nothing about my life will make me satisfied.

europe

Irrelevant

Scalping would t be a thing if we simply beat these fags within an inch of their life

they just make me have to wait longer to get MSRP

if you dont think he's not marking up the prices after putting in that effort, then I have a bridge to sell you

It's incredible how many people can't read on a fucking message board.

message board

image board

effort

Italy is a four hour drive away (If he went all the way to Rome that's twice that but I don't know if that's the case).

If you drive for four hours you probably mark the console up 300%

I own a launch model Switch and it's unmodded and never will be. The only things I've done to it are open it up to replace the dead fan and add on a screen protector. Got tons of use out of it.

I can understand for actual resources, but for toys?

The only way to stop scalpers is to have enough stock so people will buy from the stores instead, or make the scalpers have an stock so large they have to sell the stock at a reasonable price because people will just go to the rival scalper with cheaper prices.

What happened to

1 unit per family

?

Don't they always update and improve the the console in small ways. What's the point of getting the shity version.

[Sad News] OP's retardation is terminal

i was training a new guy at work one time and he mentioned at some point that he was buying the new console at the time to scalp. his reasoning for doing so when i asked why was:

well if everyone else is getting in on it i might as well too

scalpers lack moral conviction

>well if everyone else is getting in on it i might as well too

Pretty sound logic

i mean the logic checks out but it says a lot about the type of person you are in general

reselling muh bing bing wahoo toy is immoral!

Lol

it's definitely immoral relative to not reselling them, yeah

It's not that deep bro

Many retards on Twitter and Reddit said this image was AI

lol

Are people that excited to play a racing game 3 times slower than Rocket Racing?

Concession accepted

scalpers need to get their door gasket fixed

I never bought from a scalper, and I never will. Vote with your wallet, retards.

he's right you know
if no one bought from scalpers for even 2 weeks they would give up and fuck off from electronics

I feel like a lot of people are forgetting half the driving force behind the PS5 scalpers being super successful was because of the chips manufacturing shortage so supply was a lot slowly to restock. Some of these people probably will make some money but I'm guessing ait will be left with a bedroom full of consoles they can't resell for a profit because stores are going to stay on top of restocking

How do scalpers even do this? Even if you run shop bots, your bank has to authorize all of these payments. Buying 200 consoles costs $100,000 fucking dollars.

he thinks $100.000 dollars purchases as uncommon

cute

Which is exactly why this shit isn't going to work like it did in the past. There isn't a pandemic and parts shortage that like what happened to the PS5.

start-up a "game" retail business
go to the bank
tell them you want a loan, and that you will be able to sell every single unit for above retail price
show them things like video cards and previous console scalper sales
bank gives loan

Good. Always happy to hear tendies will be suffering. I would like to subscribe to this newsletter

Yeah bro, I’m going to fucking slovakia for some switch 2s.

He thinks 200 purchases of $500 are common

he thinks they are not

stores are going to stay on top of restocking

Lol. Lmao even.

True, but now we got tariffs to deal with instead

Retard

says the person with 0 life experience

That's not gonna slow down the manufacturing process it just fucks over the consumers wallet

the tariffs are all the fault of the orange dipshit

I run my own business

sure ya do buddy

I do

ya and im a billionaire

"Um, do you have a license to resell that?"

Thinks 200 purchases of $500 items is normal while me owning my business is absurd

Maybe in bizarro world

Yeah tariffs sure did a number on the switch increasing its price from 450 to..... 450

I hope they sell for 4,000 dollars, so we can post the stupid 4,000 dollar pc meme vs 4,000 dollar console.

scalpers bullshit vs an actual unacceptable MSRP

Pc fags are cucks

I want to rear end this man and bankrupt him

i think someone who thinks 200 purchases of 500 dollars is uncommon probably doesn't own a business yes

There's no official distribution in his country. There's no way he's selling at retail price. It wouldn't be worth it for him to even bother.

Anon, that's $100,000 in purchases. Banks aren't going to let any ordinary business have that, and you're a retard if you think it's common.

Using periods instead of commas is one of the dumbest fucking things euros do. You can shit on our measurement system all day, but this is just as dumb.

You should know by know people say retarded shit and stick to it because they think they need to win an argument no matter what.

Banks aren't going to let any ordinary business have that, and you're a retard if you think it's common.

Banks let jobless retards with a 450 credit score buy 90k hellcats all the time. 100K for a business is nothing.

That anon was saying retarded shit right off the bat when I said it was $100,000 in my very first post. Unless if you're a mega corporation, the only way you're getting that kind of money is through a private money lender.

it is common i dont know why you think everyone on the planet is bottom of the barrel poor

Most euros don't do that tho. That's just french/italian/whatever thing.

6 figures, anon.

nah, its common, i have a friend who owns small pc build business in eu, he often drives to big supplier warehouse to get a crate of new GPUs and other stuff occasionally, there are warehouses that supply hundreds of small-medium PC businesses in big cities across the continent here, as in any industry really, some are just not big enough to have massive cargo trucks delivered to their doorstep

What is the point of getting a Switch 2 day 1, let alone paying the scalping tip? So they can play fucking Mario Kart for 6 months until the thing gets games?

Maybe he fucked some whores and snorted some coke while he was there to make the trip more worthwhile?

your point? you think if someone goes to purchase a 100 grand boat the bank is going to stop them?

Why would anyone be a scalper? Any other job is likely to pay more and be less of an effort.

The Wii got scalped like fucking crazy because it released in November and was the hot Christmas item that year.

That's a one time purchase. If the bank sees you pulling 200 simultaneous big purchases of the same item they're going to lock your account. Not even places like Wal-Mart has that much in stock at once.

they are not i dont know why you think this

See all of the banks locking accounts just for one purchase of a console. 200 is definitely going to sound the alarm.

Nintendo doesn't fuckin' care, they never fuckin' cared

just cause your bank is an by retards does not mean all banks are

You end the scalper by just never buying above msrp.

children's toy

let me guess, a PS5 is for mature adults? kek

Yes.

These "people" have no concept of time vs money. Sure they make a few hundred bucks every time a new Pokemon set comes out, but they're completely oblivious to the time spent researching dates/sets/stores, camping outside for hours, arranging and traveling to in-person sales (because ebay will eat their profit), all while hoping Jamal doesn't just decide "gibs me dat" at the meetup.

That's just french

No, we use a space if we want to make it more legible, we write it 100 000 or without space

How long until;

It's okay, it won't sell anyway

Wii came out in 2006 and it wasn't readily available on store shelves regularly until like 2008.

i dont know why you want scalpers to win

0 iq

call bank

tell the jeet on the phone you're going to make these purchases

verify some info

thank you saar, your account is to be unlimiting for today

It's not rocket appliances.

buying a console that will have stable emulation on day 1

Wonder how quickly the roms will be dumped online

unless someone finds a way in probably not very soon

call bank

tell the jeet on the phone you're going to make these purchases

verify some info

thank you saar, your account is to be unlimiting for today

make purchase

they lock your account anyways

wouldnt it make more sense to, oh I dont know, literally scalp them?

Where's this claim coming from that you'll have emulation day 1. It just makes you sound tech illiterate.

wrong. this is what the switch 2 (mario kart bundle specifically) looks like as a pallet.

inb4 he took hundreds of them out of these boxes just to fit more in his car

yeah i'm sure he would increase the risk of theft 100x just to fit 10 more in.

all switch 2 has is mario kart and shit everybody played on other platforms

Considering 1 and 2 cartridges are the same dimensions and standalone dumpers exist for the 1, maybe in a year or so? When we can actually do something with those roms is an entirely different question.

It's about principles. You wouldn't get it.

SLOVENIA MENTIONED
KAJ ZA VRAGA JE FUNKCIONALNA DRŽAVA

It's a free market, nintendo has underpriced switch 2.

Im still not buying it
Theres nothing i want to play on it and i dont like this anticonsumer shit route nintendo is going on

This. Nvidia saw people were buying the GPUs they sold for $300 for $3000 and adjusted their pricing accordingly. Nintendo should do the same. People want to buy a Switch 2 for $2000? It should've been $2000 then. INFINITE WEALTH

but metroid prime 4 with useable aim

I got very close to breaking 6 figures during the ps5 shortages. Can't wait to see how this turns out, I have little over 30 units coming in from different sources.

I have little over 30 units

6 figures

You really think you're going to get over $3300 for each?

Usually it's the easiest to run an exploit. See Switch 1. Right now, it looks like it's going to be a challenge to even get that going with all the anti-tamper it has loaded on it, but anything made by man and be deconstructed and circumvented by man with time.

i have no plans to buy one so idc

why shouldn't scalping be illegal?

Why so you think we would want more liberals and Indians here? We have enough to deal with already.

Müller is selling NS2's here in Slovenia, and they are big German chain, so I assume they aren't doing so under the table.

Nah, about a thousand, maybe I get a few richfags to pay 1500. I plan on getting Atleast 2 more waves. I'm in a few discords, we have a fully Coordinated plan to control the market up until about March 2026

I'm so glad I'm not a retarded impatient child anymore who needs Nintendo day one, skipping the console entirely and waiting on emulation. Playing Nintendo on OG hardware anymore is cucked beyond belief.

well if everyone else is getting in on it i might as well too

scalpers lack moral conviction

With the current turbocapitalist society not making use of capitalist opportunities is just dumb. It's like tying an arm behind your back in a boxing match. If the jews do it you must also do it or fall behind.
The other option is getting rid of the capitalist/bankers, which didn't happen but should have and will.

I wish your little fantasy was true.

They're already all over Facebook market for ~$600. You gonna buy all those too, Mr. Capone?

You'll never know the euphoria of paying off your house because you price gouged millennial cat ladies for the privilege of seeing Taylor Swift from the backrow for 10k a pop

If you don't want to get scalped, just go to a store that still has them or order online.

Kek I guarantee you those are niggers trying to see if they can get some autist to come meet them in a parking garage at midnight.

I did but I already had a preorder.

nah, they probably were already unpacked and he had a verbal agreement with supplier who probably wasn't his usual supplier (other country), but just someone got him in contact with, not here to carry water for him since i really dont care if it's legit or reseller, but i've seen shit like that in pc/gaming sales business all the time working and having friends do exactly same shit in the industry, hell, i had to smuggle 20 dell laptops in 2009 by train from poland because they were 30% cheaper there than sold locally and then resell them here in legit store with warranty and stuff

there is nothing more cucked in the gaming world than actually playing OG hardware when emulation is objectively superior

This is an AI generated image. Look closely at the weird details on the boxes, varying sizes of the boxes, not to mention that unexplainable black bar thing attached to the car. The car itself looks like a poorly rendered 3D model. Seriously how are you people even falling for this?

The detailed parts are perfectly identical. AI image gen models are still too stupid to get that right consistently. Not everything is the AI boogieman.
