Went with a friend who wanted one and naturally the line was ridiculous and we failed. One asshole tried to sell his ticket for $130 while another tried to sell his SNES he just bought for $200. Eventually people got irritated and started calling them out, so they left.

....none of the scalpers took Discover card, so I also told them to fuck off.

That's not nearly as satisfying as pretending to buy it and refusing when they don't take Discover card though

"Hurr durr Nintendo's a business and this is supply and demand"

This doesn't answer the reason as to why Nintendo always has these shortages but people love throwing this reasoning at me

Scalper: They should have waited in line, it sold out and demand is high so I'm selling it for more

They ignore that the things sell out so quickly BECAUSE of shitheads like them.

The Walmart near me had a limit of one per customer because people bought like five NES Classics last year.

Nintendo really knows their stuff, getting people in such an uproar over products that are rereleases of devices that had their time 27 years ago, and are easily emulated on any device made in 2004 or later.

I don't know how they do it, but I guess that's why it's called Nintendrone.

They don't do much of anything outside of announce and then launch the console. Turns out people actually like Nintendo stuff.

Nintendo stuff would sell if it was a box full of Nintendo stickers and you would have people trying to resell it too.

I get scalpers come in my store all the time trying to buy up all our product. We had to implement rules now because of these people. One Nintendo console per customer per day (Switch, Mini NES, Mini SNES, 3DS). Two phones, total. Only one price match if they are using a tax exempt card.

Also, we have to look on our list of non-valid tax exempters because of scammers.

Its crazy the lengths those people go too. I worked in retail clothing. Guys would buy truckloads of clearanced jeans. They would know before us what day they would be marked down before we did, have all sorts of bogus tax exemptions, and they abused the lengthy return policy by returning the unsold stuff way later. Our store eventually had to crack down and now the return policy is much, much shorter because of them.

How upset does someone trying to make a living bother you?

Making a living by ripping people off and trying to lazily cash in on something they add no value to. I don't buy stuff from scalpers either.
