So like, Switch 2 pre-orders went live on April 24 in the United States and Kotaku found like, tons of eBay listings for it. Some are real, some are fake, who knows, man. Earlier tonight, pre-orders went live in North America after Trump’s tariffs messed things up. The whole thing was a mess with websites crashing and orders getting canceled. But hey, some lucky peeps got their hands on a Switch 2 and immediately put them up on eBay.
Around 1:10 a.m. EST, there were like 30 eBay listings for Switch 2 pre-orders going for crazy prices, even though the console is only $450. Scalpers are out here promising updates and all that jazz before the June 5 launch. Classic scalper move, am I right?
But wait, there’s more! Some sneaky folks are creating fake listings to mess with the bots and resellers trying to make a quick buck. It’s like a game of cat and mouse, but with consoles. Sad that this is how things work in 2025, man.
Don’t be dumb and buy overpriced pre-orders on eBay. Just wait for the console to hit stores and save yourself some cash. Plus, you won’t be supporting those jerks trying to profit off desperate gamers. Just saying.
