Scalpers are already selling Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders for as much as $2,000

They just can’t help themselves. Shortly after Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders opened at retailers across Canada , scalpers have already flocked to the web to sell their own pre-orders at much higher prices. On eBay Canada, you’ll find a ton of listings for over $1,000, while others are priced in the $900 range.

Some even reach as high as $2,000 . This is well above the respective $629 and $699 price tags for the Switch 2 console and Mario Kart World bundles. Amusingly, there’s also at least one listing that’s priced lower and is actually just a picture of a Switch 2 pre-order , which the seller says is to “combat bots and scalpers.



” Given that that this is only day one for pre-orders, it’s likely that scalpers will raise their prices even further, especially as we get closer to the console’s June 5 launch. Nintendo itself has even warned that the invite-only pre-orders it’s offering through its website may not arrive until after the Switch 2 release date .
