Bonus #282 - Switch 2 Scalpers Take a Loss (Extra Dose)

Hey everyone, it's Bonus Dose Day! And you know, there's not a lot we can all come together on these days it seems, but I think one thing most normal people share a hatred for is scalpers. So, if you're normal people, then I think you'll love this heartwarming tale of about 9000 eBay losers all eating a big ol' dick. Enjoy!
Nintendo's latest video game system, the Switch 2, was released with massive lineups, restricted pre-orders, and a ton of hype over effectively a new Mario Kart. And these days, whenever an anticipated new product comes out, the scalpers are there to make sure they profit off them... but not this time?! Buckley enjoys a laugh at the (literal) expense of people who hoarded Switch 2s, only to find out... they're readily available at retail price everywhere?!

Sadly, if we look at Twitter these days, I think it'll be a real uphill battle to make FOLLAFI a thing. No one seems to be afraid to look like a fuckin' idiot on there.

Let's make FOLLAFI a thing! Along with scalpers getting the lubeless butt-fucking they deserve!

Ahhhh I love it when shitty people like scalpers fuck around and find out π they deserve to lose more than their profitsβ¦

I'm glad to hear the shirts are good, because I have zero quality control over them. But TeeSpring (Spring, whatever they call themselves now) seems like a good company. If you wanted to, you could see the band currently touring as "Yes" and still be in the 7th row, but... in Wallingford CT (first one I clicked on), that'll cost you $86.50 plus probably fees.

Say, that was entertaining! Last time I camped overnight for anything, it was in 79 for tickets to see Yes. And I actually got 7th row on the floor, this sorcery is not possible today sadly. PS my merch arrived today. So I will be representing A Dose of Buckley to the world going forward. All kidding aside, quality shirt, which is nice.

I think it's a combination of Nintendo and sellers putting limits on how many one person can buy, and producing more consoles overall. I saw some article headline saying more switch 2's have sold than any other switch. Take it with a grain of salt obviously, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was true.
