It seems that everything started from the user Leslie Koh, who told on Facebook that he had the idea to put the PS5 box on sale, finding immediately a buyer willing to buy it. In this case, this is not a scam, as we saw with the episode of the "PS5 photo" retailers who were also condemned by eBay, but a perfectly regular trade.
Koh has warned the buyer of the fact that the product in question was simply the PS5 box, but that didn't stop the purchase, obviously at a rather low price but not that much if you consider that it is an empty box. The user sold it for $ 30 and spread the word about the possibility of an effective market for these PS5 boxes, considering that they can also be excellent "Christmas jokes" for those who crave the new Sony console.
Incredibly, the thing has taken off and on the Carousell marketplace in Singapore, the area from which the story in question comes, there are now several empty boxes of PS5 at a price of about 100RM, in local currency, which correspond to just over 30 dollars.
One thinks that in most cases they are merrymakers looking for objects with which to make Christmas jokes, but it is not excluded that several users, disappointed by the impossibility of having a real PS5, meanwhile want to console themselves with an empty box, but the uses of this can be varied considering the enormous popularity now achieved by the console.
