- giantrobot 22d agoThat sufficient supply is maybe on the distant horizon. In the meantime everyone is being fleeced because the scalpers have the only supply available. Even if there's a supply glut tomorrow the scalpers have the infrastructure in place to buy out retail channels keeping prices high.
- fartfeatures 22d agoThat's an extreme risk to them buying at inflated retail prices when supply is improving and prices are about to come down. Scalpers arent a large enough group to act as a cartel.
