- Someone has listed a 'trying to buy' PS5 Pro anniversary bundle on eBay for $10,000.
- There's no guarantee you'll get the bundle, just $10,000 to whoever tries their hardest to get it.
- The listing has since been removed either by force from eBay or because it has attracted too much attention.
A few weeks ago, PlayStation pissed off a lot of people when it revealed that the PS5 Pro would cost $700. Then it seemed to bring everyone back on track by revealing 12,300 of these pros in gray as a tribute to the PS1. Prices for items in the PlayStation 30th Anniversary Collection have yet to be confirmed, although there are prices that a reliable leaker has, but someone is currently selling a PS5 Pro anniversary bundle for $10,000 on eBay. Well, kind of
If you're looking for a way to secure one of PlayStation's 12,300 30th Anniversary PS5 Pro bundles, this particular eBay listing isn't the best place to go, and not just because it's been removed. Spotted by MP1st, the listing wasn't a scalper that guaranteed anyone willing to part with $10,000 would get the package, but for $1 under five figures, they would. “Try to buy” bundle for you when pre-orders for it and the rest of the collection go live on September 26.
In defense of the great scalper, the list was incredibly honest. Right there in the description it was said that potential customers are effectively paying to wait in line and that the package is there due to limited availability. There is no guarantee that they will receive one. What I am confused about is whether the client would have been refunded if the scalper had come up empty-handed after all 12,300 lots had been sold.
$10,000 and someone will try to buy the package for you
There is no guarantee that you will actually receive one
Despite the backlash after the PS5 Pro price was revealed, it looks like the console will sell out quickly, especially the Anniversary Edition due to its limited availability. While they likely won't cost $10,000, you can guarantee these bundles will also appear on resale sites soon after pre-orders open. PlayStation is going to pay a lot for them, but it will be nothing compared to what people are willing to pay scalpers for them after selling the packs.
The revelation that the PS5 Pro will be digital only created a rush for PlayStation's detachable disc drive, but despite the rush, the disc drive is still widely available. However, this did not stop scalpers from taking advantage. The disc drives are still available at GameStop and PlayStation Direct, but are currently listed on eBay for around $100 each. Never resort to a scalper, especially not when the item you desperately want is still available at a regular price.
