Switch 2 Scalpers Are Auctioning Off Their Preorders to the Highest Bidder

People hoping to score Nintendo’s new console this week are finding them on resale websites—at several hundred dollars over the retail price of $450.

Nintendo’s Switch 2 launch is underway worldwide. The console officially releases June 5, meaning buyers in territories in earlier time zones have already gotten their hands on it. As midnight rolls across North America, players here will do the same. Many fans preordered their Switch 2, allowing them to skip the in-person lines planned for midnight sales at retail stores. Others are currently bidding on consoles being sold by scalpers.
