They suffer losses that they try to compensate with another accessory.
Over the past few hours, the PS5 Pro, Sony’s most updated home console model, has officially gone on sale, so those who want to get their hands on it can head to any specialty store to buy their own console. However, it is clear that Many thought the console would sell out from day one and getting it would be as difficult as looking for a needle in a haystack.
This is because speculators were convinced that it would be difficult for users to take home their own PS5 Pro, so they decided to purchase as many units as possible to sell them for the price of gold on various websites or reseller apps. The problem for them is that they did not calculate that there would be enough units so that no one would be left without it.
If you go to any of the most famous stores, you will have no problem adding the PS5 Pro to your cart. Things went very badly for the speculators.because there is no point in purchasing it for more than 799.99 euros, which is exactly what it costs. This means that on portals such as eBay or Wallapop we see people selling it for between 700 and 770 euros to at least try to get some money back.
Despite this, there are still users who are convinced that they will be able to deceive some ignorant person, which is why there are also those who try to sell it at prices of around 850 and 1000 euros. On the other hand, those who really want to take advantage of the situation are speculators who They purchased a disc reader, since we must not forget that the PS5 Pro is digital only and it is necessary to purchase this adapter in order to be able to play any product in physical format.
Usually the official price of the reader is 119.99 euros, but this yes, it’s sold out everywhereso the speculators smiled from ear to ear. For this reason, you only need to go to eBay and see that there are those who sell it for amounts between 140 and 190 euros, and this does not include shipping costs, which significantly increase the price of the product. Likewise, in Wallapop it is not much different, because we see that there are those who sell it for 190 euros and even 300 euros.
So those who wanted to get their own disc reader to use with the PS5 Pro will have no choice but to shell out a pretty hefty sum, unless they choose to wait patiently for Sony to make a decision. replenish all stores with new units so that no one spends all their savings on paying speculators.
