I mean, taking stuff from the truck before it hits the shelf, buying and returning with the wrong stuff in the package? These are straight-up crooks, not simply scalpers. Not cool.
But if you find something at a store for a discount and re-sell it online for a profit....I don't think you deserve to burn in a lake of fire for that.
I agree there. But yes, the more extreme side is what I was referring to and maybe I shouldn't do that.
It reminds me of those people, at the beginning of the Coronavirus pandemic, who purchased shit tons of hand sanitizer and toilet paper to where noone could purchase them from the stores anymore and then you see $2.50 hand sanitizer on Ebay and Amazon for $60-$80 and toilet paper $100 or more. The scalpers I refer to are the ones that see a need in a certain group of consumers and buy up all the inventory and take advantage of the consumer by charging an $100 or more like we're seeing with the Target Classified figures right now.
