Yes, we do suck money from stupid people. That is why we do it.


It's parasitical behaviour actually. I call in Ayn Rand to kick your butt.


Actually it is not. It is just business. You know, supply and demand.


Nah. Totally unrequired middle man taking an opportunity to profit. There is absolutely no benefit to anyone other than the scalper.


Yes, that sounds like business to me. Make profit. If someone is so stupid that he is not getting what he wants for retail price, he will give his money to smart people who can offer them what they want.

i have nothing against that but that logic still fails. there is less supply as demand in the shops which means even if you are not stupid you can't get the product on day one if you are not one of the first (which is most of the time only possible for the extreme gamers who always know which the first day is to preorder or which the best ways are to get that)

and it has nothing to do with supply and demand when you buy it only to resell it more expensive because when people do this, they take away one product from the normal market where guys could get it for the official price. so someone won't get it in the shop where you bought it because of you and the product doesn#t cost more because of the demand, it costs more because you took it away from the market and without that it only would cost 349 for someone.
