![Beware! Scalpers Reselling Astro Bot PS5 Controllers for Ridiculous Prices 1](https://images.pushsquare.com/c9ccea89bf495/beware-scalpers-reselling-astro-bot-ps5-controllers-for-ridiculous-prices-1.900x.jpg)
Astro Bot is due to arrive on PS5 in just under a month's time, and when it does, a limited edition DualSense controller will launch alongside it. The pad is probably the best custom controller PS5 has received yet, and pre-orders have sold out across multiple retailers very swiftly. Unfortunately, it seems a portion of those sales have gone towards scalpers, as there are numerous eBay pages flogging the Astro pad for far higher than the regular price.
A casual browse of the shopping site finds hundreds of listings for the Astro Bot controller, all of which have had their price tag inflated. The RRP of the pad is £69.99/$79.99, which isn't exactly cheap, but scalpers are of course taking advantage, reselling them for over double the usual price in some cases. This is just on eBay; there will be other sites with similarly scummy goings on.
