I was looking on the Canadian amazon and saw that one of the sellers of a Xbox One Controller is selling it for 5$?!?! here is a link to it and a photo below. Do you think this is a scam?

If it seems to good to be true, it probably is.

Those look a lot like the Amazon scams that have been popping up all over recently. Read this: https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/59awrj/found_something_cheap_on_amazon_think_its_a_scam/

Caution with those just launched sellers on amazon. Many will try to ask you to provide payment method outside of amazon.

It's not a scam. They won't ship it if you buy it and it will get canceled if they care enough to cancel it. They do this so they can try and use it to price match retail stores to scam them. They did it successfully with the PS4 when they price matched it at Walmart a couple years back.
