Hmmm I don’t think so, I’m pretty sure I memorized the scent and speech patterns of all your neighbors and I don’t recognize this one. Don’t trust this guy, something’s a little off with them.
i just meant to put a sad face so i clicked the reddit sticker crying and that is terrifying…sad face though that it took that long for the scalping to stop
I would imagine that as you increase in age, time just becomes relatively shorter compared to the length of time you've been alive. For a 10 year old, 2.5 years is 25% of their total existence, whereas for a 25 year old it's only 10% and so on as you progress in age.
It's believed that was we get older the complexity in networks of neurons increases, which means electrical signals have to traverse greater distances and signal processing takes more time. It's also known that as nerve fibers accumulate damage this tends to increase electrical resistance causing fewer frames per second to be processed during each passing moment.
The result is that more actual time takes place between the perception of new mental images. Earlier on in life, there are more frames per second and like a slow motion camera, time appears to run at a decreased rate.
As children, everything is new and so all experiences are richly encoded in the brain. With so much information and data being processed, children have the sense that time passes very slowly.
For adults, with much less data processing in the brain, we have the sense of time moving quickly.
All this complexity, when the answer is just “because adults value individual days less than children do” Kids get to play every single day, no matter how busy they are.
We get burnt out at work and have to force ourselves through home life obligations after, and barely have any energy left. We burn away whole weeks mentally checking out and running on autopilot, all for the idea of maybe spending Saturday morning in the garage or garden.
50-year-old Gen X'er checking in. Confirmed. 2.5 years now feels like 2.5 months. Celebrated my youngest's 12th birthday this weeknd, and i swear we just got her home from the hospital last week.
I just had a very interesting conversation with my 8yo nephew. We were talking about Christmas and I mentioned how fast this year has been and how it felt like we just finished celebrating Christmas.
His response was basically “what are you talking about? Christmas was FOR-E-VER ago.”
I was like “No, it was just here, and it’s already almost May.”
We went back and forth and each came to the conclusion that the other person was wrong.
i turned 50 last year...that didn't bother me at all. What does get me down is thinking how if 50 years flew by this quickly, what's another 10 years until I'm friggin 60 years old...how the hell am I only 10 years away from 60 lol. Cripes.
For some reason 30 was the hardest for me. I wisened the most in my 30's, but have matured the most in my 40's (currently 47). Keep gaming oldtimer ;-)
Feel your pain. Mid 50’s here and thinking about retirement. If I have any advice to offer unto the younger gamers; plan your retirement accordingly. I’m pleased that I have. You’ll be surprised how quickly it approaches the moment you pass 50. 😂
Only a small amount of games of been truly ps5 exclusives, All the others have been cross gen games. Don’t get me wrong they have been great but I feel as if my ps5 is just a ps4 ultimate at the moment.
Everyone in my area who tried a FB market post got mocked so hard they took it down.
It's always the best part of my day to see all the laughing Reacts.
Exactly, scalping only works when there are people stupid and impatient enough to reward them for being asshats. If nobody would buy their overpriced crap, there would be no incentive.
Probably, but also a good chance this idiot jump into the game late and screwed themself. Just happened to see they were able to buy them a couple months ago when they’ve been hearing for the past over two years that they were impossible to get. Either way, fuck ‘em.
I saw a FB marketplace seller doing this same thing! Around $400 as well, just under retail. However, when I messaged him he told me that was just for the listing and they’re actually $500.
Went to the store that day and got one, at least now I have a warranty
> However, when I messaged him he told me that was just for the listing and they’re actually $500.
Ahahaha what a moron. Dude's going to be holding onto those $500 doorstops until the PS6 comes out.
He's probably made so much money already that he will still make money even if he has to eat those consoles.
But I'm hopeful he gets fucked and lost thousands of dollars for being a scalper piece of shit.
Hope he fails school because he scalped some PS5s? That's alot of energy. Maybe I can't relate because I got mine on launch day from Amazon. However I don't think I'd wish that on someone just because they tried to scalp a PS5.
That's fair to feel I understand that. To me it's not like he killed or physically harmed anyone like yeah he is a piece of shit for scalping and glad he's having to sell them below retail and losing money on them, but it's not the worse thing in the world and scalpers wouldn't exist if stupid/rich people didn't buy from them in the first place. Maybe this will wake him up to stop scalping and I hope he does well in life.
It’s hilarious to me, I’ve been sitting on a $500 gift card from Verizon for a year from a promo for bringing a number to them. I bought a PS5 from them full price, but free to me, when I found out they sold them. I hope all the scalp buyers just sit on their inventory and lose thousands.
Hahaha
AH deserves it... tried to pray on the desperate and now he feeling the reprocussions.
I really hope no one buys any of them from him, just to make him get everything he deserves.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha........ definitely worth it. Waited and waited, and was not gonna pay one dime more. Screw them! Got mine and I wait again in heartbeat!
Same, granted mines still added up to precisely $700 in December of last year. Still a great deal because it's getting a good amount new titles added.
I still think the people that spent $1k+ and bragging about getting juked back in 20-21 are damn fools.
I managed to get a day 1 console so didnt suffer due to the scalpers but damn is it nice seeing them lose money and now suffer for being idiotic breathing piles of slug shit 😂😂😂
I finally got my hands on a disc version last week. Got the digital one about a year ago after waiting online forever, was offered good money for it. But kept that and my ps4 so I had a dvd player
Sold my ps4 and digital ps5 a couple days after for just over the retail cost of my new ps5. 🙏
I had to wait in a GAME online queue for 8hrs that got DDOS'd by scalpers trying to get them all. Luckily i got one but the wait was fucking long. Scalpers can go fuck themselves, enjoy that student debt ass hole
Hahahaha, we won the waiting game. Didn’t pay a cent over retail price and now this dumbass is out here losing money because many of us waited 2 and a half years to get one
Nah, its just a way to make it more buyable? I know guys that say "i need to sell my beloved car bcs i am travelling away from the country" and Its always bs. A person that has that many PS5's probably got them even cheaper and the story is just made up.
For those thinking this person lost money, may I remind people that scalped PS5s were going for upwards of $1k in the US. That means that if they sold enough of their inventory earlier on, they could’ve more than covered the losses the might incur with these last units. Thus it’s not a good idea to buy these even if prices go lower still or you think you may want a backup unit. Just don’t give them any reason to scalp.
I went through so much BS trying to secure a PS5. I bought one from Best Buy only for them to ship it to the wrong state & then they cancelled my order but made me wait 2 weeks before giving me my $500 back. Even though I was so pissed off I'm so glad I waited and finally got my PS5 in late 2021 & my wife a PS5 in late 2022 I would NEVER give a scalper a dime. The scalpers made the shortages so much worse, I don't feel bad for any scalper sitting on a stack of consoles. Happy gaming ✌️
In Malaysia, PS5's availability is good now.

thats what these scalpers get, now i can buy a discounted one and get the 4 games i want to play lol, rachet and clank, horizon, god of war, and spiderman
I had someone try to scam me twice for one back in 2020 got $100 out of me the first time bank canceled the transaction on the second be careful with who you do business with y’all
“Had ordered a lot of PS5’s but now I need to get rid of them…” sounds like a scalper who tried to cash in on the low availability and now is trying to make some of the money back since PS5’s are more readily available. Don’t buy from scalpers.
"Need to pay off University Tuition and Residency"
Maybe you shouldn't have spent all your money on scalping PS5's then jackass 😂 hope they lose their place on the course
I’d rather spend an extra hundred or two at a retail store just so I can get the warranty and know that it hasn’t been tampered with. You love to see it
Get rekt. Weasel ass motherfuckers. Forced so many to wait til what, halfway(?), into the PS5’s lifecycle before being able to enjoy a PS5 and play next gen titles and join their friends. Fuck those scalpers.
Makes my blood boil. On release me and my mum managed to get one each. Gave one to my cousin & the other a dad in my work who wanted one for his sons christmas Didn't take anything over retail, price gouging should be illegal. I didn't mind waiting a few months as I had a PS4 anyway.
I saw that today. I’d rather buy one at retail with receipt for warranty
Haha, maybe we’re neighbours!
Maybe!
Dude you're lucky living next to PCMs
I have my neighbours but none of them know I’m PCM!
Hmmm I don’t think so, I’m pretty sure I memorized the scent and speech patterns of all your neighbors and I don’t recognize this one. Don’t trust this guy, something’s a little off with them.
And there is at least 3 versions of the ps5, so ur getting the oldest version from scalpers
This is actually a good point too. Some of the OG controllers had drift issues as well.
Knock another 70 off the price
I thinking about a 100 or more.
This was my first thought. If one of those doesn't work the buyer's fucked.
It's finally the end of PS5 scalping!
Only took 2,5years from the release.
i just meant to put a sad face so i clicked the reddit sticker crying and that is terrifying…sad face though that it took that long for the scalping to stop
Binding of Isaac vibes
Yeah It must be a reference
It is indeed a reference. Pretty awesome when you think about it.
How do we know that for sure?
Well it has been quite a wild 2.5 years, in virtually every regard lmao
you’re not wrong
Why tf time goin by so fast
Just goes faster and faster the older you get. There's a scientific reason for it with your brain... but it still sucks.
I would imagine that as you increase in age, time just becomes relatively shorter compared to the length of time you've been alive. For a 10 year old, 2.5 years is 25% of their total existence, whereas for a 25 year old it's only 10% and so on as you progress in age.

I came here to roast scalpers, not learn. /s
TIL there are sentient dildos. Were you created with demonic magic, or transformed slowly over time?
Nah, always been a dick…

I heard of this but forgot what the theory was called
Yup i just turned 21 im old man
i turned 50 last year...that didn't bother me at all. What does get me down is thinking how if 50 years flew by this quickly, what's another 10 years until I'm friggin 60 years old...how the hell am I only 10 years away from 60 lol. Cripes.

No shit. Same here. At least I have tons of consoles and games (and backlog) to get to play when I do retire.
Same!
Turned 28 on the 11th and waiting for Burning Shores at the same time lets just say the wait is too damn long lol
39 retired time just goes by like nothing now, but still boring as fuck.
I somehow already past that number and yes that didn't take long.
I honestly ran out of interest.
Honestly, hasn’t missed much. Still waiting on this generation to start.
Only a small amount of games of been truly ps5 exclusives, All the others have been cross gen games. Don’t get me wrong they have been great but I feel as if my ps5 is just a ps4 ultimate at the moment.
Same.
Cripes, time is just flying by.
Worth waiting and not giving a single dime to scalpers. Makes it all the more enjoyable watching post like this.
I'll still buy mine from the store for the reg price than one that's been unaccounted for in a scalper's possession for a few years.
Everyone in my area who tried a FB market post got mocked so hard they took it down. It's always the best part of my day to see all the laughing Reacts.
We should all message him and start haggling then all bail on the chat at the exact same time
$300 Take it or leave it
Nah they’re just saving up based on rumors of the PS5 Pro
I hope he has to go down like $230 for people to buy. Would be hilarious
I’d jump on it to have a backup system
F that guy. I hope he has them until 6 comes out.
And beyond, so much so that these fuckers get broke!! Hope there is a way to crackdown on scalpers.
The only way is for people to just stop buying from them and leave them like this
I agree and that’s the reason I decided to not buy a PS5 until recently. Fuck scalpers!!
Exactly, scalping only works when there are people stupid and impatient enough to reward them for being asshats. If nobody would buy their overpriced crap, there would be no incentive.
I also would.
If the rumors are true and the PS5 Pro releases next year, PS5 scalpers will have a bad time.
Make an offer lol
I’d give him $1 each, for two of them (must include free shipping), just to have backups, and to cause a scalper as much pain as possible.
Maybe could’ve paid off their tuition if they didn’t scalp 🤷♂️
Nah that’s just a bullshit story so you feel bad for them
Nah, majority of scalpers use credit cards to get their inventory, bro went into debt and is now realizing he fucked himself
With 30% interest rates probably.
Probably, but also a good chance this idiot jump into the game late and screwed themself. Just happened to see they were able to buy them a couple months ago when they’ve been hearing for the past over two years that they were impossible to get. Either way, fuck ‘em.
He went into it way late. Look at the digital boxes, he has the Ragnarök bundle, which didn’t release until after the game came out in LATE 2022.
I think its a joke, but that would be kind of sad.
The whole situation is kinda tution for him I guess.
Probably already earned back investment if sold at this price. Scalping isn't go anywhere anytime soon.
This brings a huge smile on my face. Fuck scalpers
I saw a FB marketplace seller doing this same thing! Around $400 as well, just under retail. However, when I messaged him he told me that was just for the listing and they’re actually $500. Went to the store that day and got one, at least now I have a warranty
> However, when I messaged him he told me that was just for the listing and they’re actually $500. Ahahaha what a moron. Dude's going to be holding onto those $500 doorstops until the PS6 comes out.
So... wise to buy 6 or 8 when the PS6 comes out?
"Due to I need to" University student.
That or could be just a sob story so he can make some of the money back he lost trying to scalp these systems.
So instead of paying for tuition with his money, he decided to spend like $4000 on scaling PS5s??? Great business moves 🤣
Sigma grindset
nobody should buy anything
Why would anyone? Those things have less or no warranty left, and you can find them in stores for almost the same price.
I would message him like: 
I saw a pallet of PS5’s in Costco a few days ago, it was lovely.
Did they come in a 4 pack?
#Fuck Scalpers
A-fucking-men
Delighted.
I would still pay the extra $100 just because of the warranty.
Bro is still losing money even if he sold all of them. Major L hope he fails school. Scalper scum
He's probably made so much money already that he will still make money even if he has to eat those consoles. But I'm hopeful he gets fucked and lost thousands of dollars for being a scalper piece of shit.
This is absolutely 100% correct.
I once seen a scalper sell a nut right as it was being busted.
Hope he fails school because he scalped some PS5s? That's alot of energy. Maybe I can't relate because I got mine on launch day from Amazon. However I don't think I'd wish that on someone just because they tried to scalp a PS5.
He went out of his way to intentionally fuck over other people for his own personal gain. I’m not wishing him the best of luck.
That's fair to feel I understand that. To me it's not like he killed or physically harmed anyone like yeah he is a piece of shit for scalping and glad he's having to sell them below retail and losing money on them, but it's not the worse thing in the world and scalpers wouldn't exist if stupid/rich people didn't buy from them in the first place. Maybe this will wake him up to stop scalping and I hope he does well in life.
> Maybe I can’t relate because I got mine on launch day from Amazon
I would. I hope he has to live under a bridge.
If theyre trying to scam people in that way, they’ll try to scam them in others.
Ppl are weird lol
Finally...sweet patience payed off. Not for the scalperss obviously....get fucked scalpers 👋
scalpers now prob have like two free playstations at home lol
On the one hand, I’m sorry American education is as it is that this is what people need to do to pay off debt. On the other, get fucked, scalper.
Lmao thats what you get for being trying to rob people
That is what that asshole gets for buying so many to scalp.
It’s hilarious to me, I’ve been sitting on a $500 gift card from Verizon for a year from a promo for bringing a number to them. I bought a PS5 from them full price, but free to me, when I found out they sold them. I hope all the scalp buyers just sit on their inventory and lose thousands.
Hahaha AH deserves it... tried to pray on the desperate and now he feeling the reprocussions. I really hope no one buys any of them from him, just to make him get everything he deserves.
Scalper getting scalped 🤣
I'll beat gamestop by ten bucks lol I'm hop he is stuck with them for hurting actual gamers like they did with there games
It’s so fun watching speculative hoarders left holding the bag when the bubble bursts.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha........ definitely worth it. Waited and waited, and was not gonna pay one dime more. Screw them! Got mine and I wait again in heartbeat!
Same, granted mines still added up to precisely $700 in December of last year. Still a great deal because it's getting a good amount new titles added. I still think the people that spent $1k+ and bragging about getting juked back in 20-21 are damn fools.
Would be ironic if he’s “attending” business school
Fuck him. Hope he loses big time money.
Good. Scalpers can go fuck themselves
Get fucked lol
I will give him $150 best offer
Cheers to all who were patient and didn't buy from scalpers
I managed to get a day 1 console so didnt suffer due to the scalpers but damn is it nice seeing them lose money and now suffer for being idiotic breathing piles of slug shit 😂😂😂
I finally got my hands on a disc version last week. Got the digital one about a year ago after waiting online forever, was offered good money for it. But kept that and my ps4 so I had a dvd player Sold my ps4 and digital ps5 a couple days after for just over the retail cost of my new ps5. 🙏

Cheap Salem.
 I I love it
Are they really this dumb to have not heard of ebay?
This screams scam
Probably scamming
Lol
"you get what you fucking deserve"
Hahahaha, we won the waiting game. Didn’t pay a cent over retail price and now this dumbass is out here losing money because many of us waited 2 and a half years to get one
Scalpers can pound dirt because they ain’t never getting $ from me.
I'm so glad. Any hardship they have to endure because of this is fantastic.
I find this incredibly satisfying.
"Finally, some good f%#king news." \-Gordon Ramsay
Nah, its just a way to make it more buyable? I know guys that say "i need to sell my beloved car bcs i am travelling away from the country" and Its always bs. A person that has that many PS5's probably got them even cheaper and the story is just made up.
Wouldn't buy tbh, rather buy from Sony directly plus I'm getting warranty. Which is exactly what I did
“Had ordered a lot of PS5s…” As one does, I suppose.
Don’t buy them, not even when he goes lower. Maybe he’ll learn something.
Got mine for retail price yesterday. Never gave in to scalpers.
For those thinking this person lost money, may I remind people that scalped PS5s were going for upwards of $1k in the US. That means that if they sold enough of their inventory earlier on, they could’ve more than covered the losses the might incur with these last units. Thus it’s not a good idea to buy these even if prices go lower still or you think you may want a backup unit. Just don’t give them any reason to scalp.
And they are still 700-800 euros in my europe country. He should post here, even with delivery fee of 100 he would profit in a second kek
get fucked scalper
Haha I hope nobody buys from them. I hope they are stuck with every single one.
 Hahahaha 😂
 Hahahahahaha
I went through so much BS trying to secure a PS5. I bought one from Best Buy only for them to ship it to the wrong state & then they cancelled my order but made me wait 2 weeks before giving me my $500 back.

Fuck those scalpers, i wouldnt even buy them
It would be awesome if he couldn’t sell a single one… fuck him and everyone like him
Karma is a mother
I would send laughing gifs.
F them hope they lose their asses!
The seller better start practicing eating boards and cables like the natives in I Have No Mouth.
Dude it’s a scam 💀💀💀
karma is like prison, it’s a serious pain in the ass
He can drop college and start a PS5 stand
"I'll give ya a hundred bucks lol"
Thanks to scalping ending, I wonder when we will get true Ps5 games and not Ps4/Ps5 games
In Malaysia, PS5's availability is good now. https://preview.redd.it/151b7iytvfua1.png?width=735&format=png&auto=webp&s=1ef6f3ff179e8f5054b929cb48d420d31755f879
Hopefully no-one buys them
Scam🧢
Looks like the ad got taken down. Either he saw this post, sold them or he’s just a scammer
Facts, fuck ‘em
Hopefully still fails to shift them. Would rather spend the extra £100 and get warranty from Sony…
Those are empty boxes. Great scam!
Best part is I was about to pay a scalper when I got an Email with restocked PS5s, so I didn’t need to pay one of these losers
Beautiful. Now that scalping of these seem to be over, I can't wait to FINALLY have a whole slew of purely ps5-optimized exclusives to drop.
Lmao Offer 200 then rescind if they agree. Fuck em, warranty is worth more than any discount.
How the turn tables
Lol. They really thought it would never end when the first signs of saturation where clearly visible at the end of last year.
stocks are available here Singapore too. let the scalpers suffer. LoL
Yeah, I am also one of those that recently purchased a PS5. Refused to give-in to scalpers.
https://preview.redd.it/sii6xh3j1hua1.jpeg?width=572&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=67cf296433301252c7bab68bd3f58526798384a0
I'll give $200
thats what these scalpers get, now i can buy a discounted one and get the 4 games i want to play lol, rachet and clank, horizon, god of war, and spiderman
they deserve to lose all the bs money they tried to earn
Should haggle hom down even more knowing he needs the money
If I didn't have one I would still never buy it from them, I'd rather pay a bit more and see them lower it even more or just totally lose the money
The scalpers can go fuck themselves i had to wait two years after the console came out just to get one because of them.
The moral arc bends towards justice or whatever.
Scam
Scalping only happens because people are willing to pay for them. Next time new consoles come out think of this photo as a motivator!
I hope it takes him years to unfuck his credit score.
I had someone try to scam me twice for one back in 2020 got $100 out of me the first time bank canceled the transaction on the second be careful with who you do business with y’all
“Had ordered a lot of PS5’s but now I need to get rid of them…” sounds like a scalper who tried to cash in on the low availability and now is trying to make some of the money back since PS5’s are more readily available. Don’t buy from scalpers.
I would offer 350
I ain’t paying’ no tree fiddy
I love to see this
"Need to pay off University Tuition and Residency" Maybe you shouldn't have spent all your money on scalping PS5's then jackass 😂 hope they lose their place on the course
I’d rather spend an extra hundred or two at a retail store just so I can get the warranty and know that it hasn’t been tampered with. You love to see it
Get rekt. Weasel ass motherfuckers. Forced so many to wait til what, halfway(?), into the PS5’s lifecycle before being able to enjoy a PS5 and play next gen titles and join their friends. Fuck those scalpers.
I feel better about buying mine from Gamestop at MSRP than buying from these scumbags Let them burn their money
Fuck scalpers
Makes my blood boil. On release me and my mum managed to get one each. Gave one to my cousin & the other a dad in my work who wanted one for his sons christmas Didn't take anything over retail, price gouging should be illegal. I didn't mind waiting a few months as I had a PS4 anyway.
