    Yeah honestly I wish more products had laws like this. Or, actually, the rule should be you can’t sell it at a higher price within a certain time frame, because that’s a better indicator of scalping.

    I’ve been wanting to buy one of the B580 GPU’s intel released, but as soon as there’s stock it immediately gets bought out and resold on amazon at a 150$ markup. I can’t think of any other rule that would effectively stop this behavior.

      Nothing made me happier than the photos of BOXES AND BOXES of 20 series Nvidia cards just fucking stacked to the ceiling when the 30 series was released. Or maybe it was 30s when 40s were released. Either way. Get bent, L scalpers.
