This dialogue is fictional and based on the article.

Log: Recently, I heard some talk about reselling the Switch 2. What do you think?
Chako: Hmm, I heard that resellers are saying they’re not making any profit. Is that true?
Log: It seems that way. I heard they’re buying them in Akihabara, but the purchase price is high, so the profit margins are slim.
Navi: When it comes to reselling, it’s often the case that prices skyrocket due to a disruption in the balance of supply and demand.
Chako: I see, but that makes it tough for people who want to buy one!
Log: That’s true. The lack of a warranty and the inability to transfer ownership are also issues.

Admin’s Note

The resale issue surrounding the Switch 2 is a very important topic for consumers. In particular, the lack of a warranty and the restrictions on transferring ownership could pose significant obstacles to enjoying the games. If the claims made by resellers are credible, it could affect future purchasing methods and market trends. I want to keep a close eye on how this develops.
