What is the point of scalping?
>A Switch 2 is $500.
>You resell it for, say, $700.
>Ebay takes %15 cut so that's -$100
>shipping is gonna be like -$20
>so you make a profit of $80
>how many could a scalper realistically buy? 10 switches? So they make $800 profit total
Big woop. You also have to factor in the time wasted on trying to buy these things in the first place, waiting hours in a queue, having to make and monitor your ebay listings, and then package and ship them. They probably won't sell them all for at least a month. It's also a huge risk that can backfire. So basically these guys just make everyone miserable so they can make a minimum wage salary? Unless they can amass like a thousand switches (doubt), it doesn't make sense.
