Scalpers gradually lost interest in Sony PS5.

CTOnews.com, Nov. 17 (Xinhua)-- scalpers are starting to lose interest in Sony PlayStation 5, according to a new report.

Netacea released its latest Quarterly Index, which covers the top five products monitored by scalpers robot in the third quarter of 2022. Sony PlayStation 5 fell out of the top three for the first time since its launch.

CTOnews.com learned that the scalper robot is a panic buying script that can quickly place an order for a hot item, and then the scalper will resell the product at a higher price and profit from it, but will affect the purchasing experience of the average user.

According to Netacea's chart, the top five items targeted by scalpers between July and September 2022 are:

Adidas Yeezy Slide Bone Coconut shoes

Nike Dunk Low Panda shoes

Panini Donruss Optic basketball card

Sony PlayStation 5

Nike Jordan 1 Retro Low OG UNC shoes

It was the first time that PlayStation 5 did not make the top three in the index, reflecting a slight decline in robot buying for PlayStation 5 due to increased inventory, the report said. However, its resale price has remained stable, down just 2% since last quarter.
