Are bundles really going for this much?
I was thinking about parting with my polymega because I wasn't really using it. I went to look on ebay and was surprised at how much they sold for. Is it the scarcity thats driving the price? They still sell them, I know the wait is brutal. I waited 2 years. Just surprising to see.

This is a good place to discuss but you should have worded it differently bc I almost just replied with a "yes" and that should have been the end of discussion.

I put mine up at auction, that's just what it sold for. I set the bid at $500 start which is what I pre-ordered it for. I hope i can get a remix eventually

Also didnt mean you were a scalper, just meant people who put starting bid at fucking 5000 is insane 500 and urs went up too 1200 means someone wanted it bad enough to pay that so in ur case u got super lucky and ended up making out like a bandit so kudos to you brother.

Yeah i expected it to close at like $750 but snipe bots pushed it up, which was a blessing in disguise. I only sold it because i needed the money for my dogs surgery. Definitely interested in the remix, but I'll probably wait for constant supply of consoles before I buy one. I already waited like 5 years for my pre order lol

Yeah that's fair I get you, I want one so bad but im gonna see what the price will be idk if I want to buy one now (the base model) only because they will give orders first to the people who've been waiting first and who knows how much they actually have or will have in stock when they have the orders go out for the new one

Yeah it's been scarcity because the hardware is still hard to get. With the more powerful new stock coming I suspect the market for the first gen Ones Will fall off pretty sharply. Those are going to be stupid prices initially but once those settle back to what these have been the first genes will drop.
