an mp leading the charge in proposing to ban the resale of gaming consoles purchased with automated bots. i think it's skewing the market beyond what's reasonable. you know, i think we need to look as well about what are the protections for the consumer, returns policy, for example, if something's not working properly, you know, how does it affect guarantees? are they paying tax? are they paying vat? are they registered for vat? they're there purely trying to make a quick buck on the back of somebody who's desperate. it's just on the edge ethically, but it's also on the edge commercially, i think. so, when most physical shops were closed, it meant that scalpers could clean up, giving them an unfair advantage over everyone else...including me. most websites sold out within minutes, and i didn't want to buy up to a grand buying it from a scalp. instead, i use a free stock checker,
