Is scalping ethical?

>want to purchase product
>Sony sells it to retailer for X
>retailer sells it for X+Y
>some faggot buys a bot for $20 to purchase them as soon as they get in stock and tries to sell them for X+Y+Z
>lol free market :^))))))))))))))))))))))
Scalpers provide no service and are fucking parasites. They're not even middlemen. As soon as you catch the attention of someone in power who cares you'll be stomped out like the cockroach you are, faggot.

>Comparing a toy to food and water
Do Sonyfags really?

How much did you make?

Shut the fuck up, communist. I see you in real life I'll stomp your brains out like I do cockroaches.

Who cares about ethics, it's a free market.

If there's enough stock, the faggot can't compete with a fucking store chain and is forced to sell it for X, or even X discounted

enjoy having your job taken by pajeets and mexicans you laissez-faire retard

Yes, consoles are toys, not necessities like food or water, if you weren’t retarded you would get a bot to buy yourself one

fuck snoys

No. If I ever find a scalper I'll fill them with lead.

>unlike with consoles that they keep the price low on purpose to cause hype.
I'd argue the reasoning behind keeping console prices low is to capture market share in order to sell more games/services. Scalping fucks over the company selling the console as well.

You will never have free healthcare.
You will never have free college.
You will never have free housing.
You will never have UBI.
You will never live to see socialism.
You will never be a woman.

Is getting some extra money off of manchildren ethical?

I charged 850 and the ps5 was about 530 after tax so, about 300 dollars
In my case I spammed add to cart on targets website for hours and hours to get it, so I guess I consider it a labor cost.

Yes, but it doesn't matter anymore.
The world is so unethical that you should be fine as long as you're not committing genocide.
A quick rape here and there is nothing in the grand scheme of things.

>You will never have UBI
I don't see how everything can become robotic and not have UBI, I've seen robots on social media doing things like serving food at a denny's, I've seen in real life for myself a walmart robot cleaning floors in a converted human floor cleaning machine, the walmart robot had a seat and a driving wheel for what used to be a place for some paid worker to be,
plus self driving trucks and cars are still on the way, some pizza place used to advertise that they were already using them to deliver, and amazon has a grocery store without any workers, it's going to get real out there without UBI expect more Jan 6 and BLM lol

It's bad PR to raise the prices, so scalpers take advantage of it.
Ideally console makers should be able to price it as high as they want.

I got mine directly from playstation, you sign up on their site and they email you when it's your turn, then you buy it and instantly regret it and start asking yourself if you want to put it on ebay

>Jan 6 and BLM
Nothing burgers that the military and police can easily deal with it?
>Neither do you
Because I can afford it. You're poor and always will be poor. Seethe and dilate about it.

Hell no, but impatient fags are a cashcow ripe for exploiting.
Snatching from retailers though? Might be going too far.

>food analogy

No and the injuns got what they deserved.

I have all of those and I don't live in a communist country nor am I a tranny. Interesting.

yes

if a store sells a PS5, it's called revenue and hailed as honest work.
If a person sells a PS5 suddenly it's scalping! we need to regulate this shit!
Fuck capitalists. They always preach "you could always make money if you tried hard enough" and once you do actually make money they come gun blazing to put you down. They don't practice what they preach. They want their cake and want to eat it too

Our government encourages chimp outs so no they will sit idly by while burn and loot.

Actually deleted the thing because misread like a retard, thinking you was one of those that actually believe in free goverment stuff.

People are literally paid to retrieve carts. Why would I do their job for them?

I want my 100 PS5 scalps

yes who cares about what a bunch of reddit niggers think

Absolutely not. Buying something with the intent to make a profit is the epitome subhuman behavior. You didn't make it, you merely took an opportunity away from someone who would have used it for their enjoyment and now you're forcing them to pay more so you can get money. Same thing with the housing market currently.

It deppends on what side of the issue I'm on.

sorry faggot but videogames are not necessart for survive.

meanwhile the answer for you op, no, scalping is not ethical.

because you are using shitty ways (as bots) to make people buy your shit because the market is fucked.

"thanks government for buying the stuffs for me with my own money, and i forgive you for pocketing much of it and wasting another bunch with things that don't directly benefit me like retarded oil wars"

And who cares if you are self-governable or not? At the end of the day we all are gonna live our entire lives being governed.

>buy product
>sell it at a higher price
>"NOOOOO YOU CAN'T SCALP ME"
fuck off commie

>Please kill yourself
Would you still say that if it was proven that the father is a leftist? Why would you want the enemy to have fun?

Pushing it 5 feet into a corral isn't asking you to put it back where you got it. You're gonna be pissed when some other asshole like you leaves a cart out on a windy day and it smashes into your taillight.

>Christmas sucking means not getting a specific toy on time
OH SAY CAN YOU SEE

>You're gonna be pissed when some other asshole like you leaves a cart out on a windy day and it smashes into your taillight.
No, I'll just sue the store for not doing their fucking job.

I was hyped for UBI thinking it would be literal freedoom to neet it up until I realized I would be one wrongthink away from the goverment taking my lifehood away.

it's one of many things asked of them, but if they didn't have to and people were better at self governing, there'd be more time allotted to other clean up tasks like scraping shit off the walls or making sure there are paper towels and soap for you

No. Jesus said so in the Bible.

>6+
snoysisters...

Good luck proving it was their fault lol. It's gonna be a giant pain in the ass that could have been easily avoided if everyone just took the 5 seconds to properly park their carts.

>Scalping fucks over the company selling the console as well.
Makes sense intuitively but its somewhat on the company to keep the supply up to combat scalping then

>that could have been easily avoided if everyone just took the 5 seconds to properly park their carts.
Why is it with you leftists always wanting to usurp control over people's lives endlessly?
>oh it's just 5 seconds
>oh it's just 20% of your income
>oh it's just your wife and children
>oh it's just your heritage and race
You just can't stop yourselves.

If they have cart corrals the store isn't liable for that. They're only required to take steps to reasonably prevent it from happening. They aren't liable for another customer's negligence.

I bet you didn't rewind VHS tapes either. Oh wait you don't even know what those are.
