minus-squareComment105@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 年前Scalpers aren’t even bad. Just having some self-control and refusing to buy at what you see as an unreasonable price would make their entire business model invalid. If someone is willing to pay $3,000 for a Taylor Swift ticket, or $1,000 or more for an early PS5, that’s what they’re worth.
