I love how delusional they are that they think they are helping people and then pretty much say oh well these websites should be set up better to launch restocks so bots don’t have advantage. And then proceed to take advantage of those same retailers. But the point is the retailers don’t care who is getting the product as long as they sell it at a profit. And if these scalpers really wanted to help why not go to the retailers in question that need better practices on restocks and try to work with them to make it more consumer friendly instead of making your buck off it

I was waiting for the "Charity" defense. I believe that they donate to charity about as much as I believe that "Jordan" and "Regan" are their real names. I've worked retail and dealt with these clowns personally. They will come in on a black friday, want to buy your entire stock of something, tell you a sob story about how it's for charity, then upon purchase whip out a tax exemption card that's clearly marked "Resale." A few are nice, but the majority of them are very rude and arrogant. When you tell them that you don't have something in stock, or "one per customer," they call you a liar, and some derogatory slurs, and demand to talk to the manager. They then tell the manager that you were rude to them and called them derogatory slurs, and of course, demand further discounts on the item for having to go through the hassle. And yeah, at least in the US, thanks to 'tax exemption' cards, those guys buy their PS5's for not a penny more than $499. I really hope that info goes mainstream. Hey Yong!

Even worse, they buy personalized tickets, which they know for a fact will get people rejected at the door (don't even try it), for hundreds of dollars. They know they're scamming you, and they just don't give a crap. They're horrible people, and I hope the law will catch up with them. Btw, if any of you work in retail, don't let them threaten you. Most stores don't even want to do business with these scumbags. In theory, you could insult their moms and they'd still come back and try to get product from you.

Kind of the classic tale of how if nobody fell for scams, then scammers wouldn't be able to operate.

Also, when the grocers sell the milk it saves people the effort of travelling to/organizing delivery of the milk from the farmers themselves. Buying from the store is a insignificant price increase for the benefit of a massive increase of convenience. Scalping has literally no convenience benefit to justify for the massive markup at times. That being said, let's not forget that despite how despicable these scalpers are, if people just wouldn't buy from them, they'd be incapable of doing this.

They're not exactly running out of good video games to play anytime soon, no matter the preference. Like I'm not sure if it's even physically possible to play everything worth playing in one lifetime even if zero new games were made ever again. I haven't bought a triple A game for PC or home consoles ever since Fallout 4 and barely even touched that one and I'm certainly not running out of things to play. But no, nothing else suffices than the newest console and the few games it has that most likely will be more or less tech demos.

The scalpers are idiots and are ruining peoples chances of being able to purchase a PS5/Xbox Series S/Xbox Series X.
