Seriously, it’s loser behavior.
The companies selling multiple to one customer and allowing this are the ones to blame. Screw the scalpers too, but we should be angry with them as well I think.
Scalpers and scammers deserve to be boiled alive by the samurai.
I am doing my part
I don’t know who buys from scalpers anyway. Valve will make more.
Pro tip: if youre buying from a physical store, you can just tave shit from their cart. They dont own it yet
Wait I thought the Steam Frame is sold to random people who registered for the purchase? And only one per person? So how do Scalpers purchase them in bulk?
Ways to buy in bulk aside, there will be people who just buy their one allowed Frame only to scalp it, just like people did with Steam Decks. Most scalpers are not big operations, just people who bought one in order to resell.
70 ALTERNATIVE ACCOUTNS
OR it’s just everyone ordering even if they don’t want it and selling it after
I wanna buy a home server so i sometimes check eBay and FUCKK SCALPERS they buy every computer, remove RAM and SSD ans then sell it again without them at the same price so i cannot afford anything anymore because i have to buy overpriced RAM, overpriced SSDs and over priced computers 🥹
Do not look at the tcg scene
Riftbound t1 collectors set was set to drop for 350 usd, scalpers resold it for 6k
Pokemon is the worst tcg, no one plays the card game, it’s literally cardboard collection simulator
I somehow ended up on a Pokemon card collector Facebook group.
Scalpers are losing thier mind because the drop rates of rare cards are higher in the new sets and they made ALOT of sets.
So a lot of the scalpers are like “how could they do this to us! This is my livelihood “ and all the people who enjoy the game are like “well this is fucking amazing!”
Be sure to rub it in with lemon juice
Wasteing citrus juice? In this economy? I can’t afford that.
I recently got lucky and managed to pick up a Cafelat Robot (really hard to get manual espresso maker). It completely sold out in minutes. I paid $495 CAD. I then saw a local listing a few days later, someone was selling one BNIB for $950. It sold in a couple hours. I was so mad when I saw it sold.
Price it at whatever you like, scalpers, I will not buy it
But the other thousand buyers will
I would say that those that buy is just as big of a problem as the scalpers. If people would just stop buying… Sad scalper.
The scalpers are just filling a market demand. Even without the scalpers you wouldn’t be able to get the steam frame yet
But without the scalpers the market demand would be met to saturation by the original supplier. As it is some people are paying more for this thing because people who didn’t want to use it bought it.
Report them all and give them fake offers for the lulz. Even better, when they actually ship, find the people selling them on Facebook and make them drive an hour away while you sit in your room laughing.
I hope I can ruin a scalpers life one day
I wish eBay and other popular marketplaces would just enforce msrp or lower for certain categories new
Maximum 5% upsell with required receipt. Otherwise must be below MSRP.
if they enforced MSRP, then how the hell would places like Nvidia get away with selling above MSRP…
MSRP is bullshit anyways
I am only talking about person to person marketplaces
They will just still then on other sites
At least they will not be on eBay
Even AM hates scalpers
Fun “I Have No Mouth…” story. Daughter wanted to see the Digital Circus movie in theaters, which would include us going with and taking her. So she wanted us to watch the series too, otherwise we’d be watching the movie without the context. And I agreed, ticket purchases and watching, contingent that she get the context that’s based on by reading Harlan Ellison first. Can’t say she enjoyed it as much as wacky lolsorandom show… but I tried.
The fucking what movie? Why are stupid webseries turning into movies? Like the fucking skibidi toilet movie. You know, they turned Minecraft into a movie once. Only exists because it’s Minecraft.
I’ll say that the Digital Circus wasn’t really my kind of show…
BUT, I do support indie creators, small studios reaching audiences and breaking barriers that previously only major studios could achieve. There’s something very cool about a person going from making a youtube webseries to getting to nationwide theater screenings.
And, love/hate it, that’s kind of what Digital Circus did… it didn’t need major studios thumb of approval to be funded and distributed. It funded itself and got connected directly to theaters without dealing with hollywood/studio/corpo gatekeeping money leeching focus groups… just a creator making a space for a shared fan/community experience. And that’s pretty cool.
