I totally agree. Scalpers are thieves in the sense that they make a price go artificially up but add no value whatsoever to the product they sell. There is no good reason for a scalper to sell a product at the price they do. Not only there is no good reason but knowing that those despicable creatures actually go out of their way to try and get all copies of a product specifically to make sure you cannot buy it at normal price so that you are almost forced to pay whatever they ask cause you sometimes have no other choice, should be criminal and I mean that in the legal sense. They should go to jail.

By principle I would never ever buy from a scalper, even if I want something bad, I'll keep looking for it at normal price elsewhere and if I don't find it, I simply give up and don't buy it, cause feeding scalpers is making the problem worse. Unfortunately a lot of people fall for those parasites, feed them and make it worse for everybody including themselves.

No need to make it unlawfull in a free market... it isn't like the supplier can't produce more.

Law of supply and demand... if Nintendo produces more then the scalpers won't be able to charge extra.

A free market is only good for a society if everyone plays nice. If they don't, then the only people who benefit are the people ripping everyone off and screwing people over. So, the argument that a free market which is 100% unchecked is somehow a "good" thing, is up for debate.
