Scalping is capitalism, I don't get why people who support capitalism think it is this extra terrible thing, it is precisely what capitalism promises on the tin.

I agree, it's just a sign they priced it too low surely? Which is kind of absurd given how high the price is already. Who is paying double the RRP?

Scalpers should be flayed. Fuck depriving someone else of enjoyment so you can make a quick buck. I hope they end up having to sell them at a loss.
