I mean it's a great convenience to pay 20% extra just so that someone else clicks the Order Now button on the original website.

It sold out on the Nintendo store within a day. So stupid... I would have considered this, but the retail price was already pushing what I'd be willing to spend.

You'd think Nintendo would have a system in place to limit scalping, but I guess a sale is a sale to them.

It’s all too expensive, even at retail.

Nintendo is only encouraging scalpers by artificially limiting supply

So this is just a Nintendo Switch 2 console with some Zelda-themed stuff printed on?

They have a job, being scalpers.

Literally all you have to do to be a scalper is have some capital to start with and to be a completely unscrupulous bastard.

There should be a “gotta catch them all” campaign where they are rounded up and neutered
