No, not the glut of p***takers selling at way over RRP - the begging notes and junk people are selling to get a PS5.

Anyone seen these?

Just browsing eBay and there are loads of letters begging for money "to buy a PS5" or selling things like an empty plastic bottle so they can afford a PS5. Are these parodies or genuine? I see one is up to £1,000 from 20 bids.

What on earth is going on?!

Nuts. There's a mum on my FB cursing Sony as her sons have sold everything in order to have PS5s for Christmas but they are pretty scarce apparently.

One eBayer is looking for a "gaurding angel" if anyone knows one.

That's confusing.

Ha! Yeah, I noticed that too.

I wonder whether the odd, maybe even successful, one went up and others are now putting up joke listings. However, they are almost invariably so badly written I suspect they are genuine requests!
