why are scalpers allowed to do this?

Because that's how the free market works comrade.

>>381998350
but they're selling a pre-order of a pre-order

>>381998969
And people buy it

>>381998969
If idiots didn't buy it there would be no market.

>>381998287
The way to beat scalpers is to not buy from them. And considering these are 20 year old games you could emulate for free, there is no reason to.

>>381999054
This, nothing wrong with making money off of dumb people

>>381998287
because they used their time and money to get a pre-order in, i don't see the problem.

>>381998969
so fucking what dumb shit, don't buy it

>>381998287
How do I become a scalper? Where are these people getting their stock from? Seems like an easy way to make a few hundred

I wish normies knew how to emulate so I can buy my fucking collectors items in peace

>>381998969

>>381999036
>>381999054
This. Retards buy it from them anyway, so they're completely justified in doing it. Literally all it would take to punish them is not buying it and leaving them with a shitload of unsellable stock for a long-ass time, but retards just don't have that willpower.

Not worth it to you? Then don't buy it, dipshit!

>>381999439
In Australia eb games have their pre-orders live and are still accepting purchases.

>>381999489
These damn old people!

>>381998287
Buy rpi3, some controllers for fraction of that price. Some nice box too.

Now you have machine that can emulate games up to psx.
For fraction of that price.

That way you don't support ripoff scalpers.
And you don't support selling of overpriced, ancient hardware.

With some work you can make it look like snes. Or buy case of old snes and put it inside

Inb4 muh emulation accuracy.
They won't produce exact same chip so it won't be accurate anyways.

Because you're dumb enough to pay for a machine that only plays 25 roms

THAT'S WHY I DONATED ALL MY SAVINGS TO BERNIE FUCK THIS SHIT FUCK THIS SYSTEM

where'd you pre-order from and how much are you going to list it at

>>381999619
21 roms :^)

Why are people going crazy over an emulator machine?
If it could play more games than the roms it comes with, or it could play original cartradges, I would understand, but this? Doesn't make any fucking sense, people are dumb as shit.

There is a reason they are called Nintentoddlers

Exactly, commies BTFO.

Just to check we're on the same page, anyone who doesn't like pre-order exclusives and day one DLC is a commie faggot too, right? The market always knows best.

>>382000065
I'll buy it because I don't pirate out of principle. I actually find it funny how people don't want to support the industry yet they feel entitled to free games and shit.

What bot can I use to pre-order this thing?

>>382000334
What industry? Selling 20-30 year old games that are out of production?

There's a difference between not liking something and expressing that by refusing to spend your money on it and not liking something and asking for big daddy government to save you from your own irresponsibility and retardation.

If you need the government to interfere in the market because you're too much of a stupid manchild to handle your own finances then yes, you're a commie faggot who needs to kill themselves.

Do it, you'll be able to flip it for a lot more later. Besides that's only like 80 or 90 real dollars so that ain't half bad.

Scalping will never be beat though because of idiots. There is a reason scalping still exists.

capitalism

What if this whole thing is a scam?

Nintendo purposely undersupplied the NES, knowing they would release a SNES in the future, but this time they actually made heaps of them, but by the time anybody realised it, they had already bought it at full price, and scalpers had filled all their spare bedrooms with them. So now Nintendo has billions of dollars in their pocket, while half the population spent $100 on this thing, and the other half have $10,000 worth of them in their spare bedrooms that nobody needs

>>382001434
Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

>>382001434
>implying Nintendo doesn't just care about the bottom line and are happy they sold all their stock.

>>382001562
I love this saying. So easy to feign incompetence when manipulating people.

>>382000767
I mean I'm doing the maths, and after ebay/paypal fees, and postage cost, I'd only make AU$80 profit if I sold it for $250. And I mean let's face it, there will be shitloads of these being scalped, which will only drive the price down further.
If I actually wanted it I'd buy it, attempt to sell it, then keep it if I couldn't, but, I don't want this, my Wii does this already, and I don't want to be left with this $125 piece of shit if the scalper market crashes.

>>382001693
I'm sure you could flip it for more than 250 boomerang bucks.

>>381998287
Because Nintendo creates artificial scarcity and retards will pay $200 for a fucking $30 plug and play emulator.

Maybe they should put in laws like some places do for ticket scalping?

>>382003694
Tickets aren't supposed to be resold. No law saying you can't resell consoles.

>>382003694
Nah, we can just pirate it.

The only industry you're supporting is companies reselling old games and being lazy.

Doesn't work. Returning stuff is easy. Scalping involves zero risk, and 100% reward, anybody not scalping when they can are stupid.

>>381998287
>people arguing that you shouldn't be allowed to buy more than one of a thing if it's a thing everyone wants
That's a slippery soap comrade!

>>382001434
That would be a huge mistake. The scalpers would return their unsold stock, and the retailers would return their overstock back to Nintendo too.

Good.
Maybe they will stop selling 20 year old games with overpriced shit.
Just set up any bloody emulation box for fraction od that price and enjoy way more fames, not only snes/nes ones.

>This thread
Anyone can claim they have a pre-order. Con-artists are even worse than scalpers.

>>382003552
I have no problems with people like this, sure he has a shitty attitude but it's the people that buy from people like this I got the problem with. If it not for those people buying from the likes of these then everyone would have a decent chance to buy them at normal prices. But no they gotta have ti and are willing to pay throw the fucking nose for needful thing. Fuck them.

As if Nintendo isn't a disease. They bought into a company that produces mobile technology and yet they still have "shortages" much like how they have "shortages" with every product they release. Considering they have a banker as their CEO, is there even a reason to buy anything made by them anymore?

>>381999054

Sometimes, when I see the stupid shit people buy, I'm tempted to throw in the towel and just Jew the fuck out of my fellow man, selling him dumb shit like digital hands and weapon skins.

Might as well get in on this scalping game. Makes a lot more money than my current job.

And how can the seller even guarentee they'll get one?

>>381998287
This wouldn't hurt so much if Star Fox 2 wasn't on there.
I didn't care about the NES mini, but it's nice to see an official release for FX games.
It's similar to why I bought eartrhbound on the wii u.

I wonder of the official Star Fox 2 rom provided will not be a complete lagfest like the beta was.

>>382006456
>And how can the seller even guarentee they'll get one?

You don't have too. If you sell it on eBay and never manage to get stock, you can just fully refund your buyers. They won't even be able to leave you negative feedback.
You can also wait and see if your buyer complains about never receiving anything. If they forget who they bought their shit from, you get to keep the free money!
