The PS5 - the newest console in the latest generation of gaming. It's been highly sought after - but for more reasons than one. The pandemic has meant that the demand for electronics has increased significantly, and a chip shortage has caused a lower supply of consoles. So, in come the scalpers - people who use bots to monitor and buy up rare items before reselling them at a higher price.
