If the offices are so badly run and understaffed that people are willing to pay $250 to skip the line, maybe the DMV needs to be fixed instead of the scalping. If the scalpers grab the spots and try to sell them with no one buying the slot, it should only take a minute to run through the no shows and get right to in person walk-ins.

In Ohio in the past couple decades I had to wait behind two people once. Other than that I had an open window or just a one person wait. Most plate renewals are handled online and you only need a license eye test every eight years (instead of every renewal at four years like previously)

My daughter needs to renew her license and get real ID. I did mine through AAA a couple of years ago and I was in and out in no time. She tried to get an appointment today and nothing was available at any of their offices until June.
