Thats like saying if you go to a House auction on Saturday afternoon and the Real Estate has estimated it will sell for $500k, when it hits $550k they have to stop the auction and give it to that bidder

No one MAKES people buy on eBay, and certainly not at over inflated prices. People pay what its worth to them, not what its worth to others.

Personally, I list most of my stuff withing 10% of retail price, sometimes above, sometimes below the retail price, which I think is a fair price and gives me enough profit to keep going. But if I`d known I could have doubled my money on PS4`s, trust me, I would have pre-ordered 50 of them.

Take into consideration, these "scalpers" as you like to call them quite often get their fingers burnt, and lose alot of money when they can`t offload something they thought was going to be popular and profitable. Its not all money making for them. Swings and Roundabouts

And NO, I`m in no way associated with scalping, just in favour of people being able to buy what they want at the price its worth to them
