If you’re desperate enough for a Series X then there are some available via resale sites. However, the mark-up on the price is significant.

To add further pain to anyone who wants a Series X but still doesn’t have one, Xbox head Phil Spencer admitted that the shortage of next-gen consoles will likely last into 2021. What makes all of this even more frustrating is that some only appear to have bought the console to try and sully Xbox’s good name by making it appear as if the console is on fire. Others had no interest in using the console and are just trying to make a buck.

Actually a lot of bucks. 24 hours after the official release of the Series X and consoles have already started to appear on resale sites. Considering all of the above, it would make sense that those who really want one would turn to a resale site at this point. However, the kind of money being asked for might turn you off that idea pretty quickly.
