Sony PlayStation 5 Concrete Brick
Sony’s PlayStation 5 both digital and disc versions are the hottest items this holiday season. Despite the latter retailing for $499, one man from Utah decided that the scalping bots that scour online stores were too much of a hassle to deal with. So, he decided to buy one off eBay for $878. A few days later the item arrives, but to his surprise, instead of a game console, there was a concrete brick inside the box instead.



He went straight to his local police department to file a report, and was told to contact eBay for reimbursement. Fortunately, he was covered under the eBay Money Back Guarantee and will be receiving a full refund without hassle. Whatever the case may be, we highly recommend recording the unboxing of such high value items to have concrete proof of the claims.
