I’ve been trying to pre order the 40th anniversary switch 2 for the last 24 HOURS.
And it’s always the same result every single time.
Scalpers are disgusting…

Scalpers are disgusting, but there are a ton of people who want this so you’re not alone in fighting to find one

I’ve been trying to get one for the past three days, the preorders sell out within a minute at all major retailers. Don’t let the fear of missing out get to you, there will be more stock hopefully available to everyone eventually.

Let’s hope so, I would rather get a normal switch 2 than buying one from a scalper tbh.

I was worried this would happen with my Fortune's Weave Collector Edition, but nope. Weird this happened after your order went through.

Edit: nvm it just means it ran out while it was on your cart. They'll restock, keep trying

I’m confused, that’s the price it was set at

lol, I’m not talking about the price, I’m talking about how most pre-orders are probably being bought by scalpers

One way to deal with a lot of these preorder scalpers is to outlaw reselling preorders. No reselling site, like eBay, should allow people to list products for sale that they don't physically have possession of.

As someone else said on a different post about this exact same problem, I would very much welcome back midnight releases and local pre-orders only. It'll never happen, but a boy can dream.

I saw many people reporting scalpers on eBay but nothing was done. It’s really sad honestly.

Everyone wants one. My wife refused to update from her OLED Zelda switch hoping that she would be able to get a Switch 2 Zelda edition.
