It is appropriate to call out asshole scalpers on Facebook Buy and Sell pages


Typically the Switch Lite sells for 270 Canadian.

Someone is selling it used for 330.

A few of us called him out on being a piece of garbage for being a butt fucking scalping bastard.

I feel we are doing the lords work.

No, what he's doing is entirely legitimate. Anyone should be free to offer for sale anything they want at any price they want. If you don't want it at that price, don't buy it. The end.

What I'm doing is entirely legitimate by informing those looking at the listing that they are scalping assholes.

Depends, is it just a switch light, or does it come with any games? Is it some limited edition model?

Absolutely. People might not realise they're being ripped off

it's definitely exploitative behaviour, but I'm largely indifferent when it comes to individuals selling individual things like this. especially items that are purely recreational.

maybe direct your effort towards, say, stores that are price gouging on essential services?

In Canada we have strict laws against it. In fact, I've seen more stuff like local bakeries selling bread for a buck a loaf as opposed to gouging.

Confirm.

Scalpers need to be called out and shamed at every reasonable opportunity.
