How do you feel about scalpers /v/?

>>378710476
I thought those were bionicle boxes from the thumbnail and got mad but now I don't care

I don't like them but I'm not willing to give up my economic freedom for a product that will be irrelevant in a few years,

I want to scalp them

Nintendo has never and will never do anything about them, so you better be online at 3 AM to preorder the SNES classic seconds after it's announced, goy

>>378710476
They need to be shot.

they only do it with shit like nintendo where their supply is garbage, and either the product vanishes because it wasn't a serious existence or it goes to the bargain bin when stock actually appears like amiibo, 3ds, and wiiu

>>378710476
I found a Switch tonight with BotW included for 375. I don't feel too bad about it.

How do we stop scalpers?

>>378710476
I don't blame them. It's Nintendo's fault. They won't produce enough items, and their fanbase is pathetic enough to fork over the cash.

>>378710812
You can't

Places like Best Buy limit people to buying one but it's not enough.

>>378710476
>scalpers
You mean like the people that buy multiple limited figurines and then melt them for no reason? I think that kind of stuff is pretty low.

>>378710812
>How do we stop scalpers?
stores institute a 2 limit per shipping address and per Credit Card on online purchases and 1 per walk in store
Thats how Victoria's Secret does it during their yearly sales to avoid scalping

>>378710812
Everytime you see one shoot him. I hate ticket scalpers even more i hope those fuckers get tortured by the mexican cartels

>>378710812
More stores do purchase caps, Nintendo ban sellers that sell the product at obnoxious prices on eBay and Amazon (Though I don't know if this is legal or if they would cooperate) would probably be enough.

>>378710812
By having enough supply to meet demand.

>>378711364
This is the only solution

>>378710897
Those are dangerous retards. What scalpers do is reselling those units at bloated prices instead.

>>378710812
You literally can't. Game deal sites have people that have created guides to scalping and same-day flipping.

They buy multiple P.O. Boxes and use multiple computers/credit cards/accounts. They've spent thousands to make thousands.

How hard would it be for Amazon and Ebay to have a regulated system to have items newer than a year sell at MSRP

>>378710476
Scalpers are a failure of the stores. Very easily fixable if stores just refused to let you buy more than one of the latest released product.

>>378710812
You murder anyone who buys from them until it becomes socially unacceptable to purchase scalped merchandise. Eventually, scalpers will starve.

>>378710812
Communism

You can't stop scalpers. The limit per customer doesn't work if you walk into different stores and pay with cash.

you mother fucker where is the 40th one

>>378710476
i've never been affected by them

>>378711654
>walk in
>buy item
>walk out
>walk back in
>repeat process
No reasonable Walmart employee is going to cause a fuss and deny the customer. Alternatively they are Mexican and have themselves and each of their sixteen kids buy all of them.

Don't be stupid.

Around here they're literally the only people who buy the switch.

I managed to get in early when my local store got some in, and the first thing the lady did was ask me if I wanted two do them.

>>378712067
small company of import and export

>>378710476
Indifferent because piracy, ibuffalo controllers, and retroarch exist.

>>378710803
I hope he gets stuck with all of those.

Scalping is literally the embodiment of capitalist supply and demand economy there's nothing wrong with it you are a bonafide commie if you oppose it

>>378711595
In other words, shoot the scalpers.
The hardest part is getting away with it.

I don't care, just emulate it you fucking dumb morons

>>378712163
That deescalated quickly

>>378712448
You're the fucking moron.

People don't want this to play the games, they want it because being a nerd is super chique and owning a mini NES from Nintendo would be major swag points with the boys. It's the physical product they want, not the software within.

Do people not realize you can buy an actual NES for like a 1/3 of the price off eBay?

>>378712803
A WORKING NES, not a NES "for parts".

I'm not paying a scalper for one.

>>378712803
>1/3

Yeah maybe 5 years ago but now to get a decent NES with all the games the NES mini had would cost a lot more.

>>378712803
What about games and HDMI output?

Its literally first come first serve, as with any product, unless theyre cheating the system somehow or literally stealing them.

>>378710476
You mean investors, right?

>>378712965
That Rosalina Amiibo guy literally stole Ammibo from a kid and his mother in a parking lot.

>>378712940
>Would cost a lot more
Maybe a little more. You also get access to the entire library of NES games outside of Nintendos picks if you just buy the actual system.

>>378712940
why do you want a amiibo you stupid fuck

>>378713093
True but unless you have a large collection already, entering the game isn't worth it due to how much prices have jumped in the last few years (thanks youtube reviewers) so your best bet is getting a NES and a flashcart if you want an authentic experience and a fraction of cost, or just say fuck it I don't care and emulate.

>>378713219
Some of them are pretty nifty anon, The classic Wario one is fantastic for example.

I wanted to get a Switch in time for Spla2 but I don't think that's going to happen.
I got into the original really late so I figured I'd hope into the new one sooner. Probably will end up being later.

reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee the boxes arent lined up the same side MOTHER FUCKER

>>378713632
either a chinese or poo in loo
they're the sneakiest scalpers

>>378713373
Or if you have to have a physical system I see those knock off frankenstein consoles sold for pretty cheap. Then you have the ability to play a metric fuck ton of games

>>378713703
...yes they are, you retard

>>378713809
Nah anon. Just don't. They seem like a good idea but there are reports of some of those things wrecking carts. If you can't get the original system just emulate I can't stress that enough.

>>378712940
Actually, the plural is just "amiibo"

>>378714652
Fuck do I care.

>>378714652
Chaos
Fishes
Deers
Amiibos
Legos
Gooses
NESes
Marios
Golfes

>>378710476
the only reason to buy a nes classic is because it's straight from Nintendo™. A fucking raspberry pi is a much better option in every way

>>378710476
Anyone who takes advantage of retards, especially retards who play video games, ESPECIALLY people obsessed with Nintendo trash, is a good man in my book.

nintendies already get scammed by nintendo to begin with, so getting scammed by some fag on ebay is nothing for them. no big deal.

>>378710476
>buying shit that realistically can only have very limited numbers like sport/music tickets?
They should be put before a firing squad.
>taking advantage of a shitty company that artificially limits its own production?
Nothing against them, and any anger/hatred should be directed at Nintendo.

ive made $2,172 dollars on the Switch alone :)

It's gay but you can't exactly stop it outside of Nintendo getting some basic supply/demand teaching but that'll never happen.
