So how is up to 500$ profit per unit not worth while anymore?

I don't care about no damn math bro. Speak to someone else who cares. I'm busy trying to get a damn PS5 bro. Also, cut the shit, it doesn't matter if they are making a profit or not. People are still it more than the original price...............Now shhhhhhh daddy is trying to get his new toy.

WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK THE SECOND IT TURNS 3:20 ITS OUT OF STOCK???

WE CAN'T COMPLETE WITH SKYNET

 

[DeepEnigma]

how the button wasn't there until 3:20

Backdoor scripting, baby!

 

[Derktron]

Let's become robots.

They're reselling for 800 still, a ps5 is 550 after tax so that's a decent profit per console. I don't see how they won't resell them

I literally just posted a link where you can buy them all day long for $700.

Not a lot after paypal double dips and takes their cut for ebay and transfer fees.

It was for me. Actually it always shows early for me but I still can't get it lol

 

[Robot Carnival]

I'm not even gona try Walmart. their site is ass as always and botted to hell. I'll just keep refreshing Amazon and see if they drop any before I have to head out.

 

[Ulysses 31]

A $700 console

$560 for the console
~$70 (10% of the $700 sale price)
$30 to ship

So $660 total means you're making $40.

I'm guessing that's the DE version because I'm not seeing the disc version for that cheap on ebay europe. Which would mean your math is also off by a 100$

 

[Gamerguy84]

Yes they periodically post the buy button between the 10 minute intervals.

 

[StateofMajora]

Ok that time it was on time but just got waiting room bs

 

[DiviniDee]

Ok yeah fuck this

 

[a multicultural team of v]

It was out at 3:16 walmart always has an itchy trigger finger

walmart 3:16 says I JUST WHIPPED YOUR CART

 

[Derktron]

Ok that time it was on time but just got waiting room bs

It sold out

 

[StateofMajora]

WHY DO PEOPLE PAY SCALPERS lol

 

[Derktron]

And it's gone again, this is horrible. This is not how you do it.

 

[DiviniDee]

It sold out

Who the fuck is buying 10,000 PS5s literally the second it’s posted????? WHOOOO

 

[Gamerguy84]

If you get it in your cart but can't check out just leave it there to try and check out the next 10 minutes

 

[Hari Seldon]

Lol this is some dogshit IT. Bots scooping these up while Captcha keeping the humans from buying haha.

 

[Derktron]

If you get it in your cart but can't check out just leave it there to try and check out the next 10 minutes

Thanks for the tip my boy!!

 

[NoviDon]

we would have a much better chance and actually a minute or two to get a console before they were all burned through if they didn't drip feed their stock. this is actually helping the bots acquire all the units because we have no time to get in and get one in the back end...

 

[Derktron]

Who the fuck is buying 10,000 PS5s literally the second it’s posted????? WHOOOO

Bots

 

[Garret Bobby Ferguson]

I literally just posted a link where you can buy them all day long for $700.

I'm still seeing them sold for 800 on ebay and listings on offer up around that price too. You can always work around offer up and go for a local meet too. The console is 550 after tax, even if you get 660 after everything that's 110 easy profit off a bot. Flip that in volume and that's good profit still. If anything it just encourages them to flip at higher volumes meaning buying at higher volumes too

I literally linked to it, and no, it's not the digital edition.

 

[Beardsalt]

WE just can’t compete with the bots!

 

[DiviniDee]

It’s literally impossible. What’s the use?

 

[Derktron]

This is stupid and unfair. I'm about to give up.

 

[Hari Seldon]

This is actually comical in how bad this is.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Dumb question.

Why cant e-commerce sites block bots?

It seems they have a backdoor way of doing this instead of the normal process we all go through clicking the add to cart, buy button and check out. All with screen by screen loading times.

But bots seem to able to backdoor it with faster access.

 

[[Sigma]]

Bad enough we got to contend with these bots while listening to mfers in here gaslighting lol smh.

 

[mortal]

 

[DeepEnigma]

It's why I did not try again beyond the first attempt.

 

[NoviDon]

can we use our own bots? anyone want to help me in founding a neobot business?

 

[Derktron]

One more time and I'm done. No point in doing this anymore.

Because they don't care. A sale is a sale. You think these massive corporations that buy products from slave labor are going to grow a heart for us privileged people over luxury items?

They do the minimal of efforts to look like "they try," like a captcha (which Walmart did not add until months into this) that does nothing for the backdoor usually.

while it takes us a second or two to react and click the captcha, it take the ai a couple milliseconds lol

Lol the education software that my local district paid for was written by a software dev who did not know how to handle input text in either lower or upper case. Professionally sold software written by a literal dumbfuck that can't regex with zero testing by anyone.

 

[Barakov]

I like how it this dumb motherfucker got robbed.

 

[Gamerguy84]

PSDIRECT and Amazon are the best links IMO. Direct has a room and then everyone is entered randomly its not how fast you get there.

I got both mine from BB though. Friend of mine got to the room late and got one from direct.

There have been drops 3 days in a row though.

[Ulysses 31]

You didn't link anything in the post I replied to. I don't know how legit that stockx site is you linked.

 

[NoviDon]

does anybody know of anyone giving out add to cart links?

 

[Derktron]

And I'm done

 

[PleaseDontBanMe]

[NoviDon]

this is kinda addicting, in a kinky masochistic kinda way NGL

No, it's not it's frustrating and pathetic over a damn product. I have a better chance of getting an iPhone 12 than a damn PS5. Hell even a damn Series S which I have is easier.

 

[leo-j]

Hint, if you are using Walmart they sell out immediately but keep waiting and refreshing, it will turn yellow to add to cart shortly after. That’s how I got mine, it’s to trick scalpers.
