I have sold a few systems as a scalper in the past. I've never seen scalping as a problem. I will admit that the shit show this year, seemingly fueled by bots, is not a good look for scalpers. They (as a whole, not necessarily a guy that buys two systems by being first in line at Gamestop) may have crossed a line such that the console marketers will be compelled to distribute systems differently next time. Nevertheless, I have no moral issue with scalping in and of itself.
Anyway, if it is a problem, I was already part of it. That's why I have no issues with (considering) selling my Series S for a profit.
With all of that said, I had originally planned to wait for a Series X until supply normalized. But, I am just finishing up a major remodel to my basement to create an awesome gaming area. It has been in the works for about 2 months. I should be installing all of my electronics next weekend or shortly thereafter. When I found that I could get a Series X for about $130 over the retail price with tax, I decided it was worth it to have all the pieces in order.
