Scalers Try to Resell $400 GTA 6 Collector's Box for $1,500 on eBay

As the highly anticipated release of Grand Theft Auto 6 approaches, fans are weighing in on the value of the $400 Collector's Box, which does not include the game itself. The box, featuring a six-inch alligator figure and a collectible spoon, is currently available for pre-order on the official Rockstar Games website and is not out of stock, despite its hefty price tag.

A quick look at eBay reveals a plethora of listings for the Collector's Box. With prices ranging from $800 to upwards of $1,500. While some resellers are optimistic about the potential for high returns, others are expressing disappointment and unwillingness to shell out such a large sum for a bundle that doesn't even contain the game.

"Honestly, if people buy these, the scalpers deserve that money," says one Reddit user. "Yeah, I'll stick with just the game. $100 is enough," adds another.

These comments reflect the mixed sentiment among fans and resellers alike. With some seeing the potential for high profits and others viewing the practice as unfair.

Xbox is "very happy with GTA 6 pre-orders," an executive said, claiming sales match "our share of the console market." This statement suggests that the company is confident in its ability to meet demand for the game, which may impact the resale market for the Collector's Box.

This suggests that the company is not planning to sell out of stock anytime soon. Which may limit the potential for scalpers to make a profit.

As the release date for Grand Theft Auto 6 approaches, it remains to be seen whether scalpers will be able to capitalize on the hype and sell the Collector's Box for a significant profit. For now, it seems that the market is still in its early stages, with prices fluctuating wildly.
