simply put the other braids of- simply put the other braids of modern electronics. so they improve pretty much every product. electronics need them, cars, smartphones, laptops, gaming consoles. and so with very few on the market fans are buying on websites to try to get them. however, there is money to be made. income, the scalpers. these are people who by sought after items and resell them at a higher price to make a profit. you probably seen them outside of concerts reselling tickets or putting a nice pair of shoes up on ebay for a double prize with but the modern scalpers a little bit different. they use internet box, software that's programmed to a certain task. 50 that could be by the first tickets available for a trip to mallorca, telling me when the ferrari is under a hundred k. or telling telling me when the ferrari is under a hundred k. ortelling me telling me when the ferrari is under a hundred k. or telling me when to start a ps five appears on a website. and when you've got a bought this almost no limit to how many you can buy to allow you to resale. the fact is, whether you like it or not, scalping and the use of stop check are legal. can you clap for me, please?

they are purely trying to make a quick buck on the back of somebody who's desperate basis ethically and i think. , ,_, . ~ ., who's desperate basis ethically and ithink. , ., ., i think. this is jack, a scalper for the p not i think. this is jack, a scalper for the p got into — i think. this is jack, a scalper for the p got into reselling - i think. this is jack, a scalper for the p got into reselling years - i think. this is jack, a scalper for| the p got into reselling years ago and made big money. for example, by flipping £150 e—zines for up to £1000. he's a former investment banker, he used to make around 1500 quid a month. and he's given up that dayjob. why? because sent setting up dayjob. why? because sent setting up after market has recent the company about 18 months ago he claims that he's made for hundred and £56,000 in revenue in subscriptions alone. he helps others resell with a plethora of channels stacked with info, tutorials and advice on the social platform discord which people pay at least a £30 subscription to be a part of. his bets doing that bots provide notification to his paying followers. it can even autobody if he bought it powerful enough. and with so many subscribers you can see why scalping might be on the rise. however these bots are easy to maintain for that now there is hundreds. a lot of the bots being developed around very young kids and they make a lot of money from software, it gets very expensive to run a bot. so we do that, we handle everything and then you just sit back and wait for your success e—mail. what is again expensive to run about? this is like where websites that put into but protection on the website. we have to use a lot of box they £100 of trainers on that one bought and you're on one ip. the website you tried to buy the shoes from his going to know they're going to know what you're doing. it's not possible that there's a hundred people trying to spot the eight spam that auto check but the bot will do is come to you by the proxy and it assigns one proxy 21 task. it looks like these 100 tasks are in a hundred different locations by one person. it means that it looks legit. it is locations by one person. it means that it looks legit.— that it looks legit. it is not creating — that it looks legit. it is not creating unfair _ that it looks legit. it is not l creating unfair competition?

quite a lot of activity is either related to organised crime or its related to people trafficking was up i take the view that there are individuals out there who have made a difference to their lives. but that's the reason as well we want regulation. if there entrepreneurs and their living within the same rules as somebody who's setting up a high street shop. the bill mr chapman have brought forward failed recently. but he's renewing it again this year. there is no doubt that bots make scalping a lot more ferocious than it ever was. giving tech powered resellers in edge that us the consumers can't compete with. so what do you think, should be outlawed?
