So I got a phone call from the manager in Carlow telling me he has a ps5 for me, he took my number yesterday and said if someone doesn't pick up he'd ring. Didn't think much of it cause let's be honest, who wouldn't pick up the ps5.

So I'm outside waiting for the store to open, I'm not getting my hopes up until its in my hands.

That's a good news story, delighted!!

None in Waterford (Curry's - again).

Keep checking daily lads. According to the Currys manager on Cosie's Twitch last night he said they're due stock this weekend or next week. In store only. Most units will go to Dublin and no Currys shop will know in advance of their delivery.

What does the 2 @ €215 for the console mean? I don't understand where the figures on the receipt are coming from.

"That would be ideal mate I just can’t meet new people for a few weeks I’ve small health issues witch I won’t get into now" Seems suss to me.

Price of the headset and controller are much lower though.

Maybe bought in another country where the PS5 is that price (different currency maybe?).

This sounds like absolute nonsense from the seller. Wouldn’t go near this deal with a barge pole.

I was talking to the same guy and he says its gone now, so hope it works out for whichever one of you took the risk

I tried to snooker him with PayPal (so there's insurance), and he said he could use his son's PayPal after initially saying he didn't have one. Then when asked to ensure it's a business account (for insurance purposes), he just did a FB thumbs-up.

I reckon it's a fake receipt so I a Google reverse image lookup on it, as a lot of these scammers use the same photos etc., and came up with this.

Edit: And now he's saying it's still available...lol

edit, wants it sent as friends and family lol my god, some people are fools. me included.

Don't beat yourself up, I work in IT and just took the necessary steps to ensure it was a legitimate sale. Hopefully no one here attempts to "buy" it from him.
I even had one lad try to get me to send the money by Revolut (no insurance), and then got so desperate, offered to accept half up-front and the other-half on delivery (via mail). Lol!

this daily routine of checking everywhere has my head melted, I'm also pretty sure a guy that was commenting in this thread last few days was selling one for double price on done deal!!!
