5. Scalpers (Olx, Quickr, etc.)
Buying a PlayStation 5 from scalpers is not the ideal thing to do, but these are the people who have already bought the PS5 from official stores with the intention of selling it later at a higher price as everyone knows that the stocks are limited. You can look at websites such as Olx and Quickr, where buyers would have posted their ads to sell their Playstation 5 units. These units are usually sealed packed and come with an official manufacturer warranty.
Note: We don’t recommend this method and be extra careful while using these sources as there are scammers everywhere.
