Ugh, I hate scalpers!


I do not have negative feelings against resellers of luxury products. That is just supply and demand at work.


No, it’s not. One thing is to resell an item after you’ve used/enjoyed it and then maybe its value has increased. Much different is to buy an item to sell immediately and making a quick profit.


Buying something specifically to resell at a profit is called commerce. Walmart does it every day.


Japan loves the limited edition stuff. Was very sad when I wasn't able to get the Bocchi guitar because Yamaha decided to only make a few hundred of them, even though they could easily sell 10x as many.
