C but remember, scalpers only exist because people buy their shit. blame the buyers as much as the sellers And buyers only exist because their only option is scalpers. It's dumb that people buy upsold PS5s, but they were being scalped around Christmas and they wanted to get their kids something cool. People turn to scalpers because they're the only chance at getting something that someone wants - which is a deliberate ploy by the scalpers. You also have those dumb fuck rednecks who got their stash of hand sanitizer seized by the government because they bought up thousands of bottles and were planning to sell it for a profit out of their garage. These guys went to every store in a 50 mile radius, and they bought all the sanitizer they could find during a PANDEMIC. The fact that people do buy shit and enable scalpers is stupid. But let's not get twisted. The buyer's market literally wouldn't exist if scalpers weren't doing everything in their power to buy up stock of hot items for their own profit. The buyer's market only exists because the product is only available through scalpers for months at a time, because scalpers cheat the system to get a stranglehold on supply. No-one wants to pay double the price for a game console, or some tickets, or a toy. Or some hand sanitizer in the middle of a pandemic. But the alternative is fucking over Christmas for your kids because these scalper fuckfaces made the game console completely unfeasible, or missing the concert you've been looking forward to for months, or forgoing adequate healthcare protections because Billy-Jim and his brother Incest bought thousands of pharmaceutical supplies to make a profit off of them. And the scalpers know this. It's how they make money. A buyer's market wouldn't exist without the seller.
