Forbes reports some testimonies of PlayStation 5 scalpers, who say they are struck by the negative publicity of recent times, in their opinion unfair. Among the touts there are those who do not understand the reason for this persistence towards "a millionaire business, an industry of great value that sees us acting only as intermediaries."
"Large food chains like Tesco buy milk by breeders for a few cents a liter and resell it at a higher price, yet no one complains about this. Reselling has always been the basis of the economy ", these are the words of a British scalper, a comparison that does not seem to be true. make a lot of sense.
The touts are not there to be appealed as profiteers and for this they do not like the wave of criticism that has rained in recent times. In the UK the problem is so acute that the British Parliament is considering an anti-scalper law to make life difficult for touts.
Scalpers have made over $ 40 million by reselling PS5s and GPUs, a lap of a millionaire business that also brings other problems such as tax evasion behind it.
