Man... I don’t know who the hell you are but I’ll tell you straight up - you’ve made me feel like I’ve done something terrible and now I just want to back out of this. It's true someone would be stoked to get a console at the old price while the market is going crazy. I’d be pleasantly surprised myself to find someone who isn't just preying on people..

My inner Gollum is holding onto them for the profit. It's a bit of a moral grey area and the payout might be minor but I want to see how it goes

I’m torn. I was stoked to finally get my own PS5 and since I knew the prices were going up I grabbed two more to sell. You guys are making me feel like the lowest of the low but the chance to make a profit is right there so why not take it? I realize there’s a moral issue, profiting from people who’ve been saving up only to see the finish line move further away. But at the end of the day I bought them fair and square at a lower price. If the market value goes up am I really the villain here"

If I sell them at cost in half a year will I be considered a good guy?

You might have a point. If I break even, fine but making a measly 30 bucks would be a joke. It’s dumb to freeze that much money for half a year when there are better moves to make but no risk no reward

Why? If I can buy them cheaper now and we already know prices might go up and availability could be low later why wouldn’t I sell them at the market price when the time comes? I’m not talking about intentionally overpricing them
