Demand and supply. Hope the shortage continues.
Damn good to flip. Flipped a few sets until my PS5 is fully paid for twice over.

Dont blame the scalpers.

1. Blame Sony for not making enough.
2. Blame the people who are willing to pay 1.2k. Willing buyer, willing seller. Not the scalpers.
All the possible retribution for this kind of small gains? Haha! I am surprised you are so proud of your achievements?

Retribution? Against the law ah?

$5 is small gain to me. $500 per flip is big gain to me. Not proud of it then what? Ashamed of a $500 quick flip then? Hahaha

Maybe to you $500 is small gain.

Knowing that PS5s have at least a 1 yr waiting time, who will be stupid enough to sell at the same price they bought? It's easy money.

Like i said, willing buyer willing seller.
Don't blame the player, blame the system.

Unit for unit, Sony made the same quantity of PS5 in the same time frame as PS4 during the PS4 era, launch aligned.

Blaming 'sony not making enough' is like blaming the chip foundary 'not making enough chips'.....do u even read any news at all regarding the chip shortage? Like you think Sony created the PS5 from magic and all the chips and component can just be pulled out of Jim Ryan's a$$ whenever he wants? We are now in a situation when even money cannot buy more units produced...because they just isn't enough components to manufacture them!

On your point no.2, although it's a stretch comparision...your behavior is no more then someone doubling the price of a toilet roll 2 years ago during the height of the pandemic lockdown when the 'great pangsaizua crisis' happened to take advantage of the situation.

Not saying you should or shouldn't do that...it's a free market after all with demand and supply and all that, the laws of economics...but just because you can do it and you are allowed to do it doesn't mean you should. I mean...being a b@stard is not illegal, sure so anyone's free to take advantage of the macro-level situation to garner some profit.

So hats off to you i guess. At least you wear your b@stard badge (that's totally legal) and you wears it proud.

Here's a toast to our scalping b@stard!

P.S. $500 is small fry to me yah so consider me unimpressed though.

Ya. This is exactly what I mean. Just like last pandemic, I respect those ppl who pump in money to manufacture new masks to help Singapore tide over the crisis and I despise those who marked up and sell mask at $50 as compared to the usual price of $7.50. Anyway, it is everyone’s choice
If want to make, then make $500,000 la.

i blame the methods these scalpers use that the average citizen arent savvy to. Those in the know will use bots to crawl all possible sites to be the first to get etc etc

Its barely a level playing field

Sony will make millions of PS5 if they can. It's out of their control if they are just sourcing the chips.

I think a lot of people missing this when talking about the supply shortage.
Sale wise, PS5 is actually on par with PS4 during the same period, just slightly lower, if i'm not mistaken.
The demand for playstation is greater than ever, if not for the chips shortage, we'll be talking about breaking PS2 records or not...

Your rationale is wrong. Scalpers reduces supply and exploit the situation to mark up costs. Its childish to even talk about blaming the buyer.

Actually guys and gals (if any here) , stop feeding to troll that claimed to flipped many sets and earn how much profit etc etc. Their main aim is to get attention and upset ppl when reacting to their post thus the best thing is do is to ignore them.

Probably wise but it's good to deny them the last word.

Get a job that doesn't leech off the rest of us. Parasites.

"Be wary of merchant all the more fat coinpurse O fat coinpurse" *Strength!*

That attempt of self justification is futile.

Any GT7 players still grinding to raise credits to buy better supercars? :ROFLMAO:
Still slowly clearing licenses and Cafe, very early stages of the game so I haven't started grinding. Heard latest patch, its easier to earn Credits so that is good news.

I read that in the new 1.11 patch, Devs added Le Mans races which allows you to earn 825k in 30 mins of racing which isn't as bad as to grind same 4 min race over and over again.

just tried it last nite the race is easy to be honest... so that s my new way of earning money.

car i use is audi rally car that i got from cafe. tyre using sport hard can be manageable without changing even when heavy rain. Just that traction control kicks in.

Any tips for this Le Mans race?
Need to pit every couple of laps, then refueling seems to take ages (normal?) and when i come out of the pit i drop a tonne of places.

Sorry man, I am still at very early stages of the game. Level 7 or so. I have not reached there yet. Youtube / Reddit should have guides/tips on the races.
