Scalpers are truly the bane of every gamer's existence, making it far more difficult to purchase the gadgets and gizmos that you want - everyone that's ever tried to get any limited-edition PlayStation item at launch probably knows exactly what I'm talking about. With the upcoming release of the Nintendo Switch 2, the scalpers are out in full force again, despite Nintendo's best efforts to curb the problem.
Head over to resale websites like Ebay and Amazon, and you'll easily find listings for Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders, with some going for upwards of $700. It's a big problem with no real solution right now, but that hasn't stopped Nintendo fans themselves from attempting to make the lives of these scalpers as difficult as possible.
First spotted by GamesRadar, there are many posts on the Nintendo Switch 2 subreddit of what appear to be fans sharing the listings they managed to remove from places like Ebay and Amazon via reporting them. Sites like this most likely have rules against selling pre-orders, so Nintendo fans have been using that against the scalpers to get their listings completely shut down.
There is enough room in the gaming world for two...
