Not really as high as I thought they were selling for but yeah, that's still a pretty big up-charge. I wonder why more people don't go the local, in-store route? It can be done pretty easily if you know what you're doing. |
Yeah, the profit for a scalper is probably about $100-$125 on a system that sells on Ebay for $750 in the US. So, if supply and demand just get a little closer together, such that secondary market prices fall by $100, that should squeeze out many of the scalpers. They'd still be able to make money selling locally where they don't have to give Ebay a cut, so scalping wouldn't be eliminated. But, we'd definitely see a whole lot less of it.
