Since when did this become such a hot item?

Why would anyone buy one of these over the PS5 its a copy of? You can get the much more rugged PS5 under $100 all day long.

I honestly only know one person who uses one of these and its because he couldn't afford a second PS5 at the time.

Whaaaaaaaaaat

I bought one of these off Amazon last year for like $35. Who the fuck would pay any more than that for one of these?!

Too much optimism for my tastes.

This just seems like someone trying to game the price window that Reverb has. For whatever reason.

I think that's based on sold items. Listing things for a given price won't add that price into the average.

The price window is for current listings. The recommended price function you see while creating a listing is based on past sales.

Otherwise, listing something at a ridiculous price point, then dropping the price way back to a reasonable level will get your item moved into the Price Drops section...which is kind of like a free way to get your thing boosted.

Im not sure that works though. I remember reading something from Reverb that said starting at a crazy price and then dropping dramatically doesn't register the same. I haven't checked lately but I wouldn't be surprised if they filter out things like 90% price drops or something. Especially since 'price drops' is still a hand-picked collection AFAIK. So your item might say X% price drop but that doesn't automatically boot it into that category.

Yeah, I'm just spitballing. That section might actually be manually curated anyhow.
Last week I spotted a Boss FZ-2 for sale for $1000. Reverb listing got taken down, Ebay listing stayed up. hah

there are 2 listings on ebay: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R ... r&_sacat=0

Seems to be sold out everywhere. Guessing it was discontinued or maybe BOSS final put out a cease and desist?

It’s likely people that are uninformed and ask too much or people looking for a laugh and post it seeing if someone will actually buy it.

I think 130 on E-bay is too high when you can get a PS5 or 6 for less

one on amazon for over 600, someone is just cranking up the prices.

I always wondered if you could do this and then go to a GC and trade it in and get 60% of the Value back
