So it begins. The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X are in severe shortage, and scalpers who managed to dodge companies and snag several units each are well aware of this fact. A quick search for the consoles on sites like eBay (thanks, Video Games Chronicle) brings up thousands of results, priced at $5,000 and above.
I?ve personally been seeing a number of these listings pop up on Facebook myself, although they weren?t as bad as the ones on eBay in that the consoles were priced around $900-$1,000 over there. I can confirm that these listings are authentic because the sellers provide proof of purchase and evidence that they have the hardware available on hand.
