Okay let me just point out there is NOTHING wrong with scalping. A bunch of nerds in that thread said I don't provide a service. Yes, I do. Those people that come to me for a purchase would have more than likely not have obtained a Switch until much later if it weren't for me. I allowed them to get a Switch earlier for a markup. That's how the fucking free market works. And LOL @ the loser asking if I put the money I made on my income taxes. Jesus Christ people are so salty. --- David Mink.

Just because that's how the "free market works" doesn't make a scalper any less of an asshole. There's a lot of things you're "free to do" as humans that are bad or shitty. You're intentionally taking advantage of someone. Doesn't sound like salt, sounds like a normal human reaction to someone being an asshole to me.
I can understand if you sell it for somewhere in the ballpark of the original price, but people who overly hike up prices just come across as dicks. --- Nintendo Switch Friend Code: SW-3032-7898-9500 http://psnprofiles.com/Terraforce777 http://miiverse.nintendo.net/users/Rayquaza487 ...

Doesn't sound like salt, sounds like a normal human reaction to someone being an asshole to me. Taking advantage of someone? That's how literally every retailer works. There are always middle men to provide a markup for stocking and providing a product. It isn't taking advantage of people. It's utilizing supply and demand like every fucking business does. --- David Mink. Hero. https://c1.staticflickr.com/7/6043/6337878059_009dd4c4f3_z.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard!

ehhwhatever posted...you capitalized on a situation for material gain Except you're not a business and you didn't get it it from a manufacturer. You bought it from a retailer for the sole purpose of selling it second hand I don't actually care about scalpers that much but don't pretend you're providing a service when you're just taking advantage of people as well as Nintendo's horrible manufacturing policy ...

I'll admit, have I taken advantage from Nintendo's incompetence when it comes to their products? Yes, I have scalped but the difference between me and TC is that I don't brag about it nor do I pretend I am doing anyone a favor scalping. I do it because I can make money off from it.
With that said, there is nothing illegal about scalping, however when talking about the morality of it I'll say i do feel dirty when I do it. --- "Yare yare daze" ~ Jotaro Kujo "Children are pure, they know who's the strongest." ~ MaskDeSmith ... Copied to Clipboard!

I never pretended to do someone a favor. I provided a service. You shouldn't be thanking any business really, unless they do an exceptionally good job. A business transaction wouldn't occur unless both parties feel it is beneficial to them. It's a service, not a favor. --- David Mink.

A few things here.
While I don't think there is anything moral about the practice, I don't think it is a super noble at the same time. However this happens with a lot of things , such as house fliping , paying an selling of cars,stock, ect. Lastly don't blame the TC for Nintendo shitty ways. --- Bender: Well, everybody, I just saved a turtle. What have you done with your lives? ... Copied to Clipboard!

I've never scalped and don't ever plan to mostly because it's not worth the hassle to me. But I have no problem with them. When I want something badly enough, I buy it. I could see myself buying from a scalper if I really wanted something and couldn't buy it from a store. Gaming is a fairly cheap hobby anyway.
Also neogaf has terrible users so good job annoying them. --- Ulti was right ... Copied to Clipboard!

Depends on situation
If a person or a few people are buying out item x and making an artificial demand to sell at higher prices, yes that is wrong. However if it is something like Nintendo who for some reason can't make enough supply to meet demand, then scalping is fair game in that case, it is the supplier fault. You need to balance price with demand or you have a shortage. --- Be a team player, guard those super jump rings. See a team member inking a wall to swim up on? ink with them.
