Oh, so thats who you hate. I hate terrorists who kill innocent people.

Panzer Dragoon Saga is a very rare and sought after game. The people selling it are not jacking up the price. That is what the game goes for. 

Sorry for being a bit of a jerk, but Im tired of people complaining about scalpers. Scalpers wouldnt do it if idiots didnt keep buying useless shit for a large amount of money. Who is the worst? The guy selling a PS5 for 1500 bucks or the guy buying it for 1500 bucks?

If you can just impulse buy something at 1500 bucks, I dont think youre much of a victim of anything. Its not really difficult to find out what something is worth. They could start by asking their kid how much it costs. Then search online. Its not like information is difficult to find these days.

I mean whats another option here? Make it illegal to sell your stuff for anything above a set price?

So who exactly are we trying to protect here? People who just throw money at their problems? Its thanks to them regular gamers cant get a PS5.

Yeah, Sony will release more consoles and this will be a thing of the past...until the next gen of course.

Ha. I still have my sealed copy. I knew I was sitting on a gold mine.

Meh. This is just a clickbait article.

There are some people on ebay who will always stupidly overprice things in a stupid get rich scheme. But, if you look at what prices people are actually paying in auctions that ended recently on eBay, they sold for somewhere between 40-60 bucks. Generally people are taking a loss on selling this. You can still buy this on Amazon, Target, Gamestop, Best Buy etc for 60 bucks. If the scalpers had two brain cells to rub together, they'd realize that Nintendo didn't go out and destroy every copy sitting on store shelves, and they should at least wait until they sell through those.

It's basic common sense. 3D All Stars was a "limited edition" but it wasn't hard to get. Who are these people who are big enough fans that they would pay thousands of dollars for this but didn't just buy it when it was available? And even if you buy the Switch a year from now, there's enough used copies in circulation, that you're going to be fine. Maybe somewhere down the line there'll be a collector who just needs to have a sealed copy of 3D All Stars for their collection, but since tons of people bought this game to resell it, it's actually probably going to be less valuable than most Switch games.

Hate to burst anyone's bubble, but if cashed out your 401K and decided to use copies of Mario 3D All Stars as your investment vehicle, your golden years are going to be pretty rough.

That's True, you still can get used copies from 40 to 60 and New ones from 50+ to 60+.

...And about the past comments, both are the problem, scalpers and stupid people that throw money for overpriced articles.

Right now the high priced copies are just people losing their time and getting more atention that what it should be.

I'm generally not too concerned about scalpers particularly when it's a a purely luxury item. If someone really needs a sealed copy of Mario 3D all stars and the market determines that's a fair price, then whatever.

If it's something where there's legitimate scarcity like the PS5, that's far more annoying, but still ultimately that's a problem for the industry to resolve. Unless we're talking about things like food, water, and medicine, it's not a major concern to me.

Eh... there's no reason not to keep it available, but history shows that this was more than anything else a ploy to make people think the game was more desirable than it is. The same thing happened with Mario All-Stars on the Wii. Where I worked at the time people were like OMGZ IT'S LIMITED I NEED IT NOW, but ultimately we had more than enough for anyone who wanted it. I didn't buy it, and later regretted it since it was selling for like 100 on ebay for a few months after release. But, after a little bit people realized how many there were floating around, and we had used copies on our shelves for like 30 bucks.

Ultimately, pretty much anyone who really wanted to buy Super Mario 3D All Stars for 60 bucks will have that opportunity. If Nintendo really thought that this decision would lead to less people being able to buy the game, they wouldn't have done it. 

I think more than anyone else, Nintendo fleeced people who are buying it to resell because they think it's going to be some crazy collectors item.
