The stores are completely sold out of consoles due to increased demand combined with major disruptions in the supply chain. I was looking to buy one to relieve some lock down boredom, and after seeing everywhere was sold out I went to eBay to see if I could get my hands on a used one in good condition. I figured I could also save a few books by buying used. 

Well it turns out I was way wrong. Even ones in not so great condition were selling at a minimum of $400. Some were going for as much as $600, two times their retail price of $299. And these weren't just people setting "Buy it Now" prices high and people not buying them. These were actual auctions that people were bidding on. I couldn't believe it. 

Luckily I was able to eventually get my hands on one. One of my buddies works at Best Buy and he told me they get bi-weekly shipments on Wednesdays. Apparently they would always sell out by Wednesday night. If they weren't limiting it to 1 per customer I would be tempted to buy like 10 and then resell them on eBay, but that would obviously be a dick move.
