It was just a moment of weakness…

It’s not someone who buys just because they want to.

I don’t really want to do it right now, but if I can buy it, maybe I’ll consider it since it should sell for a high price.

I’ve met people who aren’t interested in the products but enjoy standing in line to buy them if there’s a queue.

I cannot understand.

Whether I intend to resell or not, I can’t help but feel that selling it would likely make it expensive.

I guess if I think I can buy it again after doing something like this, I won’t be able to buy it.

That’s too effective, isn’t it?

I might hesitate if it goes up to about twice the retail price.

Well, there’s nothing really.

I’m not really interested, but I do wonder what I’ll do if I happen to pull a lottery ticket and win the A prize or something big.

I have clear-colored Gundam models stacked up.

>>21

As long as you didn’t stockpile, you can sell it at a price you like.

Don’t underestimate the number of worthless people in the world.

It seems that there are quite a few of these types of trading card games that can be bought at convenience stores.

>>31

I’ve seen a fool who got angry saying, “Don’t impose your store rules on me! I haven’t committed any crime!”

The current resellers are really hopeless.

>>43

Who decided that? Is it legally binding? Isn’t that just for your convenience? There really are people who say things like that, just like Hiroyuki.

As for card games, the manufacturers manipulate value with performance and inclusion rates, and it’s just foolish resellers who are ruining the market using it to make irrelevant justifications for themselves, so they can just go die.

When trying to sell at a fair price on Mercari, you’re asked to raise the price by resellers, right?

>>29

Why not just buy it there without asking and resell it at an inflated price?

There are many individuals who are not up to much, and since they are operating individually with amounts not even reaching 10,000, their sources of funding are also quite limited.

What really can’t be helped are the ones who are doing it as an organization.

It might be because it’s easier to see things from the individual’s perspective that it ends up being a manga like this.

There are people who are reselling by even hiring part-time workers while being homeless, so that’s not the case.

I completely don’t understand the psychology of otaku.

I guess you’ve never actually seen where the mites gather, you lucky one.

Perhaps there are no restrictions from antique dealers, and transactions are being made freely.

Isn’t it a problem that Mercari exists where there’s no monitoring of income and expenses, allowing for rampant tax evasion?

>>40

Even if it’s expensive, it’s fine to buy something that is being resold… I have a wealthy colleague who casually says things like this, and I think to myself, is this the kind of person who buys such things?

>>58

It’s amazing that you don’t realize you’re part of creating that structure while being on the side of exploitation.

>>66

They are probably more afraid of falling behind in the conversation than of suffering a financial loss.

A typical reseller’s mentality, where they only think about reselling and have lost sight of the obvious fact that ordinary people buy because they want it.

Are you repeating something like that dozens of times?

I wonder if it’s amnesia.

There are stories about selling the Switch for three times the price in China.

People who draw things like in the thread images are drawing based on their fantasies without watching the news in the first place.

>>48

The sellers are distributing quantities to retailers without assuming any damming.

The story is that by damming that area and raising prices, they are putting everyone at a disadvantage.

It might be expensive if sold, but it’s not smart not to consider the fees.

Why not just hurry home without looking at the price, excitedly do the unboxing ceremony, and play the game nonstop?

No one buys multiple for themselves.

Well, they are there, though.

Not reporting sales and not paying taxes is clearly a crime.

>>55

If it’s just one…

>>57

It’s probably the same person who’s been selling devices like crazy using mobile phone number portability (MNP) for decades.

There are a ton of them in TCG.

Well, it’s inevitable since without resellers, limited supply cards and tournament participation prizes wouldn’t circulate in the market…

It’s not true that the majority are just people who sell one or two units.

I can understand if it sells for more than double, but it’s only around 10,000 at most.

Sometimes when I see someone boasting about having a stock of three digits of the real thing, it’s clear that there are forces at play that are not at an individual level.

The person who drew this seems to be aggressively reselling it.

I won’t say they definitely don’t exist, but it’s very unlikely for the vast majority.

I can understand feeling a sense of superiority by checking prices, but is there really a game that you wait in line for in the morning only to lose to pocket change?

>>68

As a background, it’s impossible to explain unless we assume that there is no motivation or desire to play, and that it’s being done out of inertia.

After somehow managing to buy the Switch 2

I will absolutely not apply for the additional lottery!!!!

Can you say it with certainty…?

Even if it’s true, are you asking me to forgive it?

I won’t do it?!

If something bought for 50,000 can be sold for 200,000 or 300,000, it’s only natural to feel tempted.

I’m swaying too.

Everyone wavers.

If I suddenly win a second unit of the hardware I struggled to buy in some kind of lottery, I might sell it.

>>77

In that case, it’s simply unnecessary, so selling it isn’t really reselling, right?

It’s one thing if I bought it from an electronics store, but the one I bought officially is probably linked to my account and the device’s serial number, so I don’t want to resell it.

It has started to be circulated, but in the city, it is still out of stock to a certain extent.

I might have seen one left in the store by chance while living in the countryside.

But if I can get it easily, I should be able to get another one without much trouble…

There was a huge theft of inventory from the warehouse.

Resellers with large stock might have that possibility as well.

The majority seems to have been swayed by the high prices, but for an ordinary person, who initiated the initial price hike and how did it happen?

If someone is desperate for small change, wouldn’t they cancel the game in the first place?

Honestly, the line is the amount, right?

If I can resell it for 10 million, 70% would let it go, and 20% would hold on to it even longer.

If you have a large stock, that’s one thing, but going through the trouble for a profit of tens of thousands from just one unit is foolish.

>>87

Realistically, things that can be sold for 10 million yen have a retail price of around 5 million yen, so only those with strange tastes would buy them from the start.

Only those truly at the bottom, like resellers, would dream of being able to sell it for six times the price.

>>88

When the PS5 was initially in short supply and couldn’t be bought at all, there were instances where it was being resold for 200,000 or 300,000 yen, right?

Did you forget?

>>119

Did it sell for that price…?

>>133

It was selling, right?

Everyone was complaining that resellers should die, right?

Did you really forget?

>>139

I can’t understand why the reason for the sales became so noisy…

>>119

So… will it sell?

It’s uncertain whether you can actually make a profit from reselling Switches.

If done individually, it becomes a reseller.

When done in a corporation, it becomes the distribution industry.

>>90

If you want to call yourself part of the distribution industry, you need to be incorporated into the official handling channels.

It’s still fresh in memory how amateurs trying to make some extra cash through masks ended up in painful situations.

Resellers can only be a group of professionals.

Because the perspective of what the purpose was for obtaining that is missing.

I feel like this four-panel comic only moves people based on whether it can make a profit from the start.

Extreme analogies are a trick used by scammers.

I saw it for sale just when I couldn’t buy the first Switch, so I bought it.

A few days later, when I won a lottery that had been going on for a while, I gave the prize to the company event.

Because there are other issues such as not wanting to keep 10 million items at home or not having the facilities for storage management.

Regarding reselling, individuals also rush to buy out multiple stores, so it’s not a problem at the level shown in the image.

It’s been a while, but there were families coming together to hoard diapers.

If something I bought for 1000 yen can be sold for 60,000 yen, I would be swayed, but if something I bought for 50,000 yen sells for 60,000 yen, I wouldn’t be swayed.

If the item I wanted ends up being regular price plus 10,000 yen by the time I decide to buy it, I would rather hold off on selling it.

This seems likely.

I might end up thinking that while it’s nice to have an ordinary person, I don’t really play games that much after all.

>>103

It’s not like it’s a lot of effort just to participate anyway.

>>107

Waiting in line to buy something on the release day is a lot of effort, isn’t it?

>>102

Is that guy who doesn’t play games that much really lining up first thing in the morning…?

>>102

Such ordinary people don’t enthusiastically line up from the morning.

When I win arena seats for a dome live concert, I make it a point to enjoy seeing the fools who pay 100,000 or 200,000 yen on ticket sites.

This reselling jerk

If you peel off a 500 yen booster, you might get a 50,000 yen card.

Maybe…

What kind of price hike is so extreme that it shakes the purpose of standing in line early in the morning to play games?

>>116

I wonder what it takes to make someone actually think like this, starting from what multiple.

>>122

Personally, I think it might be impossible unless the scale is completely different.

It might shake if it’s about three times, but I don’t feel like I can win against the desire to do it quickly, to do it fast.

In the Showa to Heisei era, there is an image that ordinary citizens would stand in line for hours just because something was a hot topic.

As expected, there probably aren’t that many idiots around these days.

It might be that there are still people who think, “Since I applied for the lottery on a whim and won, I might as well sell it.”

I understand that you might hesitate for a moment when you see the price, but I doubt you will actually take action.

Are there really that many people of this caliber who can influence the market?

This manga is saying that, isn’t it?

>>129

It’s really scary that the feeling that even crazy people can draw manga has slipped away.

Hurry up and go home to do that thing! Isn’t that right?!

If anything, I have enough money, so I want the superiority of possessing it.

I want to buy melon bread (not eat).

Switch 2 is a lottery that’s quite strongly linked to account information.

If you resell carelessly, it’s not surprising if those who resell based on that information get put on a list behind the scenes.

>>136

I think that once you win, the chances of winning a second time are significantly reduced.

>>136

Aren’t they just going to sell it normally on online shopping sites or at retail stores?

I won’t sell even if I end up in a situation like this.

Because it’s a hassle to sell.

I think it’s fairly common to buy three limited items and sell two if there’s a limit of three per person.

When I won two PS5s, I was a little swayed, but my pride won out.

>>141

What happened to the second one?

>>148

It means “Winning means having the right to purchase.”

The second one is canceled.

Most of the people who draw the manga in the thread are probably knowledgeable about resellers.

If you don’t know the details, you can’t say things like that.

>>142

That premise is incorrect.

I can draw even if I’m not familiar with it, because I’m fool.

I think it was the second-hand buying… was it Treasure Factory? I have seen their special features on TV a few times.

“Indeed, there are customers who occasionally come to sell game consoles they bought on a whim but never played.”

I remember you said that.

A story from when PS5 was completely unavailable in the market.

Was the high-priced resale of the PS5 really selling well…?

I only remember laughing and thinking it’s silly that they weren’t selling at all, like 200,000 or 300,000.

Could it be that your assumption, lacking intelligence, is that getting angry at resellers means that it sold well?

Does that mean the person who was lined up was also inadvertently wanting to sell after being hired by the Chinese with money?

https://www.asahi.com/articles/ASN9M4FWJN9MUTIL00M.html

Well, you can figure it out if you do a little research.

>>157

It’s quite common for people to overlook the unnamed.

Even if you’re not particularly knowledgeable about the world, you can still make assertions, and there are people who will believe them…

>>161

The moment I think “serves you right” the most is when I see a screenshot on my timeline showing that resale items are not selling and the prices have dropped to match the retail price.

I wonder if thinking that if I find one person, all of them must be like that is influenced by cockroaches.

If you’re okay with the prices on flea market sites, I’ve seen PS5s for 10 million yen.

>>167

Where else is reselling taking place besides flea market sites and online auctions?

>>174

Mix in Marketplace and Rakuten Ichiba too.

>>174

I’ve heard of a rickshaw.

You’re such a fool, there are more root causes, aren’t there?

It’s Mercari and Yahoo Auctions.

Even after being so heavily criticized, they’re just calling for restraint and not actually prohibiting anything, right?

>>168

It was still too early for humanity to have free CtoC transactions.

>>177

CtoC transactions without guarantees, support, or management can obviously facilitate money laundering.

In fact, last year Mercari was specifically pointed out by the National Police Agency for money laundering.

There are still instances where unnaturally high-priced items are being auctioned off.

Is it okay to say that our game’s sales have reached the level of the national budget today?

Are you bad at searching?

The toys in my house are being bought and sold for amounts comparable to the national budget.

“You can just say ‘Resale is prohibited.'”

Even if it has no legal binding force, it cannot be ignored when dealing with companies.

>>175

Isn’t there no reason for companies to be scared when there’s no legal liability?

>>181

The battle with used sales dealers has already been resolved in court against used game stores.

>>184

Huh? Used goods seller? What do you mean?

“All they’re doing is calling for self-restraint to Yahoo Auctions and Mercari, which provide the platform.”

>>187

For what reason?

>>181

It’s okay, it’s okay.

It just lowers the corporate image a little bit.

It’s called reputation risk.

If the thread image is true, then there’s no need for region locking.

There was a time when I could sell Pokémon cards for about five times the price just by winning a lottery, so I applied for the lotteries for a while.

Reselling for personal pocket money is mostly Mercari’s fault.

I think there was a somewhat nuanced level of difficulty with Yahoo Auctions.

Somehow

“I’m currently being shown an example of ‘a fool without intelligence misinterpreting a chance to make a quick profit and rushing into reselling’…”

I have thought that if I go to Gundam Base to buy plastic models, and then buy a few limited items and sell them, it would easily cover my transportation costs.

>>186

Well, measures against idiots like you have already been implemented, with purchase limits and a restriction of one purchase per day.
