PS5 consoles are being listed for thousands on eBay as parents scramble to buy one before Christmas.
The Playstation 5 went on sale in the UK at 8am yesterday and proceeded to sell out almost everywhere, leading some to try and take advantage of the situation.
One eBay user even listed the console for £25,000.
Others have been slightly less mean and put the console up for around £5,000.
However, the most popular resell price appears to be anywhere between £700 and just over £1,000.
That’s a still a steep mark up considering the original retail price for the console is £449.99.
Several consoles have sold on eBay for over £1,000.
Some eBay users took to the comments section to complain about scalpers trying to take advantage.
One wrote: “Scum bag selling a £450 product for over double! Children won’t get this for Christmas because of people like you!”
Another said: “The nerve to buy up PS5s and try and turn them around for a profit is pretty awful, don’t satisfy them just wait a month for them to be back in stock for hundreds less.”
If you are desperate to buy the PS5 then bear in mind restocks will be happening soon enough.
Retailers like Game and Amazon are expected to restock soon, so anxious fans have a decent chance of bagging one in time for Christmas.
Sony released two new consoles – the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Digital Edition – worldwide on November 19.
Stocks at multiple UK retailers ran dry shortly after orders opened on the morning of launch day.
Boasting 8K graphics and a powerful processor that almost eliminates loading times, it’s no surprise the consoles flew off the shelves.
Some stores also opened up sales of the PS5 on Thursday afternoon, but those also went in a flash as word spread across social media.
