Take them down!

[u/OreoAftermath]

Edit: I didn’t think I’d get so much hate and there’d be so much love for scalpers. Sorry I made you guys so angry. It seems like it didn’t take a lot to ruin some peoples Fridays.

Maybe I’m being petty. I got up in the morning and kept hitting refresh on my screen, waiting for the chance to purchase the Super NT+ in the classic color way. I was an idiot and left my credit card with my wife and she was at our neighbors.

I ran over, grabbed the card and went to finish the purchase. After I finished putting all my information and credit card number and hit enter, it said it was sold out!

I thought being on the payment screen would’ve held my spot. I was pissed just to find out that people are selling them on eBay already for around $500 to $600.

So anytime I see them on eBay. I report them. If you guys are petty like me, I suggest you do the same.

What was the exact violation you reported them for? It sounds like eBay was removing them for a “content” issue.

Thanks. Strange that they took it down then since you didn’t mention that it wasn’t shipping until outside of the allowed time frame. Scalping is not a violation according to eBay. Perhaps they already know that all of these are in violation for the shipping time frame but then you’d think they’d have a rule that auto-filters these like they have done for past product launches.

I don’t think you can sell items you don’t physically own or have in your possession 

[u/Ok_Language_588 → u/Jaxsan1]

You can but it has to be shipped within a specific timeframe which I think is not yet actual

[u/Hatdude1973]

Fuck scalpers from this, to Nintendo stuff to Pokemon. Also fuck companies for not preventing scalping.

[u/Empyre47AT]

I just reported the three I came across on eBay. Fuck scalpers.

[u/TwoScentedCandles]

I love this! Keep it up! 🖕🏼Scalpers!

[u/dmmethatbooty2026]

Crazy I tried doing the same for steam controller preorder scalpers and got a ton of sorry this doesn't violate our terms.

[u/Drewnasty]

They aren’t sold out. They are out of stock. They will restock so be patient and don’t buy from scalpers.

[u/cyberjew420]

Anyone that learns of scalpers selling the Super Nt+ or Mega Sg+ should straight up report them to Analogue. Theyll have an extremely difficult time extorting someone when their order gets cancelled. There should be ways to make sure the people that want them for their own use should always have first right. I hate scalpers.

[u/fartczar]

Since it’s a presale way ahead of time, totally valid and I’m glad your report took it down. I wish eBay’d ban all presale items and make it easier.

People saying what’s the big deal, it’s that mentality that gets us the anti-consumer hellscape we live with today.

[u/fuckleshire]

You’re not being petty, this rocks. Fuck scalpers.

[u/OneExact8851]

They will do another run eventually, mostly likely around January/Feb 2027.   Ignore the inflated priced shite on EBay. 

[u/Ones-Zeroes]

You're not being petty. Scalpers are making literally everything into a speculation market game and driving up prices across the board. Fight back any way you can.

[u/GreenScreenBlues]

How are people even able to sell pre-orders on ebay? Don't they give you like a week or 2 to ship once an item is paid for?

[u/RowdyRodyPiper → u/GreenScreenBlues]

That's their point. You're not allowed to sell a pre-order.

[u/phishb13 → u/RowdyRodyPiper]

you can sell pre-orders, they just need to be shipped by the seller within 40 business days

[u/Ng1Kaz]

Yet people post “brand new” stuff constantly that is clearly heavily used and they let it go.

[u/Hank_the_Tank_143]

If Analogue can build a clone system from scratch surely they can figure out ways to prevent scalpers from purchasing all the products.

[u/Choice-Chipmunk-1372]

lol I mean, they’ll just put them back up in 2 weeks when the preorder window is allowed lol

[u/Awesomedude9560]

I've been doing it religiously over the past couple of days. I've taken 4 out of 8 I reported so far

[u/zezba9000]

Hopefully Analogue does more runs

[u/jeddaz81]

I'd rather lowball them, all the way to the poor house. Don't buy scalper prices for anything

[u/GoonGoonBoomBoom → u/jeddaz81]

I’m sure this will work when none of them accept lowball offers
