It's no surprise there is stock: if I understand things correctly, the cheapest Switch on that page costs 3545 krone which is about 534 dollars as of this post!

https://www.bing.com/search?q=3545+krone+dollars&qs=n&form=QBRE&sp=-1&pq=3545+krone+dollars&sc=0-18&sk=&cvid=19A08BE056F043A4844AE76544FFC677

Compared to a vanilla PS4's price of 1490 or 1990 krone (225 or 300 dollars respectively) ( https://www.prisjakt.no/category.php?k=1707#rparams=ss=ps4 ) a Switch is very expensive.

 

Now I'm no economics major but I'm going to say things in high demand tend to fetch a higher price than usual and that's something we're seeing in the US for example where Switch units are marked up by about 100 or so dollars as of this post, sometimes even more.

 

Maybe the laws of supply and demand work differently in Norway? What say you Tmfwang?

Well, 3545NOK equals 422USD actually :) That is including taxes :)

Hmm, I may have gotten Danish and Norwegian krone confused with one-another then in previous calculations.

Its actually not that bad :) Same price as the PS4 was at launch :)

Which is still a mark-up in price since the Switch is supposed to be selling at about $300 but here we are seeing prices higher than that.

As you can maybe see as well, the Switch is the 3rd (on prisjakt.no) most popular product on prisjakt, if that means anything.

Actually I can't see. I can't read Norwegian but I did run across this page: https://www.prisjakt.no/category.php?k=401&o=lokal_rank

I can't speak Norwegian but it seems for now, Switch is most popular even as inflated as the price may be. Popularitet is the Norwegian word for popularity yes?
