The scale does not pay.
The last major start of the video game console was the PS5 back in 2020, and anyone who tried to deal with Scalpers. These sellers used robots to buy dozens of consoles at the same time from retailers’ renewals and then sell them on eBay and Stockx, where prices ranged for almost $ 2,000 for a $ 500 system.
After January After the publication of Switch 2, Nintendo said they are about to make sure that there are enough consoles for anyone who wants to.
Among the preparations that Nintendo took was off the 2 switch reseller lists in Japan and developed a pre -order system for their Nintendo store, which required individuals to have a Nintendo online account, which was created a year ago and recorded play time.

The quick gaze of the “2 switch” console in the eBay shows that most sales range from $ 600 to $ 700.
The resale website Stockx shows a similar price with the current Buy Now Price Switch 2 Mario Kart World Bundle, a $ 630 – that is, the sales fee, delivery and processing fees, with claims of over $ 700, depending on the state you live in.
Although it seems that between $ 100 and $ 200, compared to $ 500, it is worthwhile for sellers, there are taxes the seller sells. This includes a sales fee, which may be zero in several states, but in others it may be up to $ 50. There are also eBay and Stockx sellers, which can range from 10% to 13%, although both websites offer certain discounts. It also does not include payment processing fees.
This means that if someone bought a Switch 2 Mario Kart World package in retail and if they sold the system for $ 600, they can get around $ 40, taking into account the sales fee and other charges. This is definitely not a way to get rich as a scale, and those lists will not increase until Nintendo constantly restores more consoles as it has been since the Switch 2 launch.
