I mean, that might be a fair worry to have. If it is a bit of a niche console where there's only small quantities with no more to be made, assholes might try to hold the price up for awhile. But, if they do make more I wouldn't worry about it too much. The Sega Genesis Mini/Classic SNES and other retro consoles they pumped out are all available for way less than they were going for during launch.

I wish more people would just stick with the fuck the scalpers camp, but, too many people just either have too much money or get too desperate and give in so the fuckers asking triple/quadruple the price will always be around. I literally wouldn't waste money like that even if I got to be a millionaire, I'd rather blend the money down into a shake and butt chug it. Would be a better use of the money over lining some douchecanoe's pocket.
