4. Set Alerts On Facebook Marketplace For Local Sellers Selling Their PS5
5. Checked My Local Craigslist Page Daily
6. Checked Apps such as OfferUp Daily For PS5 For Sale
7. I Went To Local Retail Stores To See If They Had Any PS5 In Inventory
8. I Checked Social Media Sites Daily To Learn When Suppliers Restocked
9. I Never Gave Up Even When I Missed Out On Purchasing One Online
10. I Asked Family And Friends To Let Me Know If They Saw One For Sale

It took me months of searching, getting disappointed, and repeating the cycle before I finally was able to find and purchase a PS5. I tried numerous times on Playstation Direct, always missing out due to the system selling out in minutes. One day, I got a direct invitation from Sony Direct to purchase a PS5 before it was released to the public. In September 2021, my hard work and persistence paid off, and I finally got one. With the holiday season coming up soon, it’s going to get harder to find one. I hope the above tips help if you are in the market to find one.
