>scalping should be illegal
Do you go by the legal definition of scalping, or are you one of those faggots who thinks anyone selling something for more than they paid is a "scalper" ?

The grocery store you buy food from sells it to you for more than they paid.
The gas station sells gas for more than they paid.
Everything you buy is sold buy someone who bought it for less than they are selling it to you.

So what *specifically* has to happen to make it bad?

I ask because I have a small business selling anime, and some faggots call me a scalper
>you're selling a special limited edition anime for more than you paid!
>YOU SCALPER!!!

If something was freely available to buy for months, and didn't go out of stock for months, and literally anyone who wanted it could buy it, how is it wrong for me to buy a few copies to sell later after it's sold out from all the retailers?

>> No.49817251

>>49816607
wrong. they provide storage space. this also doesn't get rid of them, this gets rid of low-margin "scalping."
you see if i can afford 100 playstations, i don't need to make a huge premium on each one. because i have substantial secondary market (ebay, etc.) share, i can outbid my competitors, which means lower prices vs. not getting one at all.
at $500 each i have to front $50k and take up a bunch of space in my house (or somewhere) for as long as i still have units left to sell. the time value of that space is important, ultimately because of taxes, but also because i might be renting.
so i need to sell each unit at $600 to be happy, but maybe i only have to sell them at $515 to break even, if they move fast enough. later when you can't get one at all for $500 because you didn't bring the money to the table fast enough, i got your back, and it really isn't too expensive. if you won't take it, someone will.
ON THE OTHER HAND
with programs like this in place, only Verified Chads can buy a playstation they don't want and then resell it, and they can only do it once.
by the same above math, that means they will need $15*10 or $150 over the $500 purchase price to break even. (they won't be terribly happy with $650, so you'll likely pay more, but let's not kick you while you're down and retarded.) far fewer units are made available to each person, but there's PLENTY of people available to front that $500 and "scalp" at 1 unit each. storage space is less of a concern, which slightly alleviates price pressure. nonetheless they will all compete at this same "floor" price artificially injected into the secondary market by what is essentially a rationing program.
intermediate warehousing of goods is not some kind of evil act, nor a crime, and it should be encouraged not punished. it's literally what all convenience stores are doing already.
so get fucked faggot, you're an idiot, and the world is designed to punish you for it. wise the fuck up and join the party.

MSRP is a real thing, and yes it is enforced
>how?
The manufacturer could stop selling to that retailer, giving an advantage to all of that retailers competitors.

It is Sony's product, and they need to be able to set a sale price for the item based on their company's needs
>they determined 600 is too high
>they determined 500 is the sweet spot
If retailers were allowed to sell for more than the price Sony set then Sony's corporate plans would be "ruined".

Retailers respect MSRP because it is how the system works.

no, they cannot do whatever they want, they can do whatever the customers will agree to. it's a free market, just as you say, so they have no blessing from government to do things. there is no one to come to their aid if they fail, except with a total change of ownership, so that the savior of their operation now benefits fully from their earnings.
and what do customers want?
they want this program.
and it's for the same reason sony is forced to create scarcity of their product, by setting too low of a price for all customers to receive one, but high enough to be able to support their games, their CDN, and to get ready for their playstation 6 sometime in the future.
it's because people will curtail their use of amazon at all, if amazon is seen as assisting "scalpers" -- even though those scalpers help keep the secondary market prices down.

free markets prevent monopoly, equalize supply and demand and create the lowest price for goods with endless competition.
But Amazon isn't really a free market, is it? If people could bid for products much like stocks on an exchange, it would be free. Poor Amazon is just experiencing the failures of price fixing. Where there is less profit, there is less supply.

If you bought ALL of a specific type of anime figure with the express purpose of reselling for a higher price since you have now "cornered the market", I would consider that scalping. If you bought anything under the entire total of a specific product (like a limited run of a specific anime figure), and then resold after when the production run has stopped I would not consider that scalping. As with everything, it's a bit subjective but I think most people would identify scalping as giving yourself an unfair advantage to purchasing a product and then reselling that product back for more money because nobody else can buy.
