Amazon’s Nintendo Switch price gougers are back — and they’ve got a new tactic to dodge Amazon’s crackdowns.
Nearly two months ago when coronavirus-related lockdowns went into effect, third-party sellers on Amazon started jacking up the price of the Nintendo Switch, reaching nearly double the suggested retail price of $299, according to data from Thinknum.
After that initial report, Amazon started removing overpriced listings by third-party sellers that were linked to the first-party Nintendo Switch listing. Unfortunately, that is apparently not enough to completely keep price gougers away from the console.
Price gougers have started listing the Nintendo Switch under different names in order to bypass the measures implemented by Amazon, according to a new report by Thinknum.
For example, Digital Trends confirmed that “Nintendo Switch [Gray]” is currently selling for as high as $669, while “Nintendo Switch [Neon Blue/Red]” is being sold for $650 — both more than double the suggested retail price.
“So while removing third-party sellers attempting to price gouge on the first-party Switch listing may have scattered the price gougers throughout Amazon Marketplace, they’re still around, and their overpriced consoles are still coming up in consumers’ search results,” according to Thinknum.
Digital Trends has reached out to Amazon to see how they’ll address the new price gouging tactic. We will provide an update as soon as we receive a response.
The Nintendo Switch console itself has not been the only focus of price gougers, as they have also taken advantage of the high demand and short supply of Ring Fit Adventure. Nintendo has said that it will make more units of the fitness game and accessory, though no specific timeline on restocks were provided.
The Nintendo Switch and Ring Fit Adventure continue to remain popular choices for staying occupied while staying at home.
