What happened
A r/GameStop subreddit moderator has confirmed the validity of the post, saying that the original poster has been properly vetted. The price increase on refurbished PS5 Pros comes as the console remains out of stock at MSRP on various retailers, including directly from Sony.
GameStop has increased the price of refurbished PS Pros from $800 to $1399.99, meaning used units cost 55% more than their list price for brand-new consoles, and well over double the PS5 Pro's original MSRP. A Redditor working at the retailer has leaked a memo telling employees that the higher price of used consoles versus new ones is intentional.
The leaked prices are now showing on the GameStop website. ScalpStop at its finest from r/GameStop Brand-new PS5 Pro units have an MSRP of $899.00, which has already increased from $749.99 earlier this year because of chip shortages.
