I often wonder if we are growing as a people... or in fact, regressing.

They'll unfortunately start to increase their profit margins again with the holiday season getting closer

Well, sure seems like there's a lot of people on this board who get up in arms over the slightest hint of schadenfreude concerning people getting hoisted by their own petards, so...

...y'know, you all should really be ashamed of yourselves, picking on these scalpers over their misfortune. There's a non-zero chance that they're probably just good-natured folk trying to pay for their kids' college tuition.

It's close enough to zero that I feel safe making the gamble with my moral high ground

The venom some people have is nuts. I caught a ton of heat on here because I bought a PS5 to sell lol. Ended up canceling because it was a month wait and I didnt feel like chilling with Walmart holding my cash.

Scalping is always a scummy practice, their intentions be damned. Might not last but... Good in my books.

I'm not looking at forbes but do they even know how to use eBay? According to "sold" listings they're still averaging like $750. Maybe more.

The article headline is a little misleading. By "losing money" they mean "profiting less," and explain that in the article itself.

Yeah it's pretty much clickbait. And the $750 average seems to be used consoles. New ones are going for over $800 easily. That price hasn't gone down recently. It's been that for months.

Scalpers are the same as gangs. They create artificial problems for you and then request a payment to solve it

Racketeering, in short.
