Xbox Series X, Preorders, And Scalpers

DeclaredFiber · Sep 18, 2020

With the Xbox Series X just a few days away. Plus seeing what happened with Playstation. Makes you wonder how Microsoft is going to combat with the unfair scalpers. Believe me they are a problem. More people need to become aware of them. They will buy
everything up. So normal people don't stand a chance at placing their preorder. Then they will sell it at places like ebay. For twice if not triple or more the retail price!!! I don't even know how this kind of thing is allowed. It should not be able to be
sold for more than manufacturers retail price. Nobody should have to worry about not getting their preorders in. But with the way things are looking. The scalpers are going to get them all. Im a big fan of Xbox. Have been a long time loyal customer ever since
the Xbox 360. Im very hyped about the Xbox Series X. I even already have my money ready to place my preorder. But im very worried and concerned that the scalpers are going to get them all first. Microsoft please do something about this and make it fair for
everyone. Preexisting gamers have an account and gamer tag. Maybe make it 3 step authenticate. One console per account with gamer tag. Maybe something like that will help slow down the scalpers and make it fair for everyone. Its a start. Please do something
soon. Before its a disaster.

Maybe the first lot of pre orders could have been for current gen xbox live members a one console limit. I dont see how they couldnt have organised something like that. look after the current community first everyone else later.

I saw one blokes eBay account selling 8 new gen consoles

There's some stingray dogs around just don't feed or have bloke on bloke action with them.

Hard for retailers to do much. If anyone can step up to combat this, it would be sites like Ebay to cap the sell price.

It didn't work in Aus scalpers still took it all and put it on ebay. Who could easily ban selling them for much higher than retail price like they've done to scalpers before.

Ebay are dogs they would love the cash they get from scalpers, it would be good if they did ban them tho.

Scalpers should be banned & fined.
