Scalpers Are Already Selling 'God of War Ragnarok' Collector's Editions For Huge Money

At the time of writing, the God of War Ragnarök collector’s editions were released just a few hours ago yet already the scalpers are out in full force, relisting their purchases at ridiculous prices.

As I’m sure you are aware, it’s finally been announced that God of War Ragnarök will be released on 9 November and as of this morning, fans were able to pre-order the game including both the Jotnar Edition and Collector’s Edition. Naturally, they’re already being sold for three times their retail value. Sigh.

Take a look at what’s included in the God of War Ragnarök’s special editions below.

Around the world, the Jotnar Edition is thought to have sold out in just a matter of minutes as fans clamoured to get their hands on a 16 inch replica of Mjölnir. In Australia, the Jotnar Edition retailed for $400 (AUD) and as reported by Press Start, there were copies listed on eBay for $1,500 just minutes after pre-orders went live.

Here in the UK, the Jotnar Edition retailed for £230 and sold out in just 15 minutes. In fact, PlayStation UK tweeted about pre-orders being live at retailer GAME, linking to the site when both special editions had already sold out. A quick search on eBay’s UK site shows plenty of Jotnar Editions listed for upwards of £550. 

What’s even more shocking is that it looks like at least six UK scalpers have already succeeded in their mission as there are Jotnar Editions listed on eBay’s sold section for between £390 and £600.

If you did manage to get your hands on a copy (and one that you fully intend to keep for yourself I should add), consider yourself lucky. I’m still slightly baffled that an edition of this quality doesn’t include a physical copy of the game, yet it does include a steelbook to store said non-existent disc in. There’s no justifying that one.
