One BILLION dollars! There's nothing new with secondhand sellers trying their luck to make a big profit from day one.
Why am I seeing this Ranked on recency
It is here mostly because it is new. Freshness is the largest single contributor to its score, which means nothing about the story except that it is recent.
Single-sourced. No second organisation has confirmed it yet.
Link-outLink-out, because only one organisation carries it and no first-party source is on it and the subject could not be identified from the text. Link-out means we point at the publisher and say nothing of our own.
| Factor | Weight | Score | Contribution | Where it came from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Corroboration | 0.35 | 0.39 | +0.135 27% | 1 independent org on the story. Tier-3 aggregators never corroborate — they can show something is circulating, never that it is true. |
| Source trust | 0.25 | 0.70 | +0.175 35% | Nintendo Life is the highest-trust source on this story. Trust is taken from the best source, not averaged. |
| Pickup rate | 0.20 | 0.00 | +0.000 0% | One counted organisation, so there is no spread to measure — nothing has picked this up to set a rate. |
| Freshnessleads | 0.20 | 0.98 | +0.196 39% | Halves every 10 hours from the newest item on the story. This is the only factor that rewards a story for nothing more than being recent. |
Corroboration counts distinct organisations, once each, and only from tiers 1 and 2. Freshness halves every 10 hours, so this ranking is a snapshot and will differ at the next build.
What happened
There's nothing new with secondhand sellers trying their luck to make a big profit from day one. It doesn't help when special editions like the Fire Emblem: Dagdan Collection sell out almost instantly, either. The FOMO is real and scalpers gonna scalp. However, it seems that sellers on eBay UK are taking things to fresh extremes with the Switch 2 Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake, with some Buy it Now listings for the foil cover version plus a couple of exclusive extras listed for over £700. com
