Honestly I do not understand what people have against scalpers. If someone puts out the effort to get a rare product and can sale it for a profit mofe powerto them. I still have 2 NES Classics that are unopened I intend to sell around Christmas. I got them because I watched Brickseek and went out at 4AM and waited for the manager who could sell them to me at 6AM. Anybody could have done the same thing but they did not. 

I never got an NES classic because a dick in front of me bought 20, knowing ten people behind him (including kids) wanted it. Of course, he cared more about profit instead of being a decent person.

 

Scalpers are despicable in gaming, music, and everywhere else. You aren't a scalper. Buying 1 or 2 isn't an issue. It's the people who hoard an unneeded amount

Also he mentions "doing work".  Many scalpers are using freaking bots to snap up online stock.  They don't have to do any work, they don't even have to be at their dang computer!

Why not also go after the ones that enable scalpers. Offer up a snes mini for a lower price than the scalpers, then send a note, you're the reason you have to buy one online. The only way to get rid of scalpers is to stop buying from them. Of course principles are hard to find in this I got to have it first world.

I hate scalpers and I wish they get punished for distorting the competition.
