With the PS5 being more easily accessible and readily available than ever before, it seems like scalpers have finally raised the white flag. A Reddit post reveals an apparent scalper “giving up” on selling PS5s at exorbitant prices in a photo.

Here’s the image in question, where a man is seen bringing multiple PS5 God of War bundles with him:

What’s even more interesting is the fact that the scalper is seen attempting to return the PS5s, but according to one of the post’s comments, it seems he wasn’t very successful in the attempt.

Manager came out and told him he couldnt return them because he had already tried at other stores and they sent out a message to watch out for him.

It’s worth noting that Walmart, the store where this image was taken, has an extended holiday return policy. This states that “most items purchased in-store or online from October 1, 2022, through December 31, 2022, are returnable until January 31st, 2023.” Even if the PS5s seen here were bought up on the day of the God of War Bundle’s release, it still would have been covered by the grocery’s return policy. Either way, the exact reason is unknown. We’re not sure if the PS5s were simply not covered by this policy, or if the company decided to deny the returns for some other reason.

Scalpers have been a rampant problem in the video game hardware industry for quite some time. Until recently, the PS5 was difficult to obtain without buying a unit sold for hundreds of extra dollars. US lawmakers actually attempted to curb the scalping problem via a bill proposal, but with PS5s being easy to find now, this should hopefully get rid of PS5 price gouging for good.
