Me personally don't really mind the average normal person flipping the odd card or product here or there, but organised scalping has to really be addressed imo!

Well thanks Robi UK -

Easy now to spot them, a long neck!

to be a scalper you need some 'neck' and fair play to her for putting her head above the parapet made easy with that neck of hers! Bloomin' eck it's long!

 

[FUNTY]

Hang 'Em High!

 

[Begbie]

Meh, fair play I say. Why people are buying them at ridiculous prices are beyond me.

 

[watercooledman]

they are not stealing them but yeh blame the buyers.

"Why should I be sitting in my bedroom playing video games like every other 18-year-old, not doing anything with their life?

"It's easy money, it's pocket money."

Fair play to her I say!

I wonder what happened to Sam to cause her to transition into a Giraffe? I also wonder where a 17 year old gets the money to buy hordes of consoles/graphics cards/etc via bots.

 

[montymint]

AS long as they declare the profits for tax purposes... which I bet most of them don't.

By making small profit into bigger things.

Perhaps.

She might have had family helping to set her up with her 'business' also I suppose.

@montymint Not a bet I would take.

 

[dunno]

Sam has a really long neck!

edit - probably should have read all the other comments before posting, im glad others spotted it...

 

[JohnG7]

Even longer once she is hung.

That's the rub for me. If people want to flip items for profit, good on them (no different to drop shippers IMO) - as long as the business pays the right amount of tax, which as you say they probably won't.

Think she’s disgusting, I hope the money brings her nothing but misery. She deserves a punch in the throat. God knows there’s enough of it.

 

[Worthy]

I can't believe how long her neck is.

If people stopped paying scalped prices for things, they'd go out of business. The problem is we live in such a materialistic society, that people think they absolutely must have these things, and it's then every man for himself. We're doomed as a species.

Good to see a new generation of entrepreneurs.

Good luck to 'em I say.

Its not like they are depriving people of essential medicine or food - it's just luxury items that people can do without.

 

[robfosters]

I wish people would stop shifting the blame to the buyers.

They’re not entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs take financial risks in their business plans, these people are not.

 

[LoadsaMoney]

WOW! they look just like you/me!

Who would've thought.

"She deserves a punch to the throat" What the hell kind of thing is that to say!

Sure, we don't like what they are doing but violence and the threats of rape she has received, is that really right?
