With holiday shopping heating up, U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer today launched a major push to pass The Stopping Grinch Bots Act of 2018. Schumer said that the same cyber scalpers responsible for instantly vacuuming up tickets to major concerts have migrated to in-demand holiday toys, scooping up popular holiday gifts from dolls to gaming equipment for resale on other websites at outrageous prices.

Who cares. If they buy the toys everyone gets paid. And they take a huge risk. We have real problems, this is not one.

Supply and demand.
Chuck-U apparently never heard of it. Good to know he’s safely in the minority.
And irrelevant.

The scalping situation isn't "free enterprise". Ticket availability is rigged so that the special few get access to tickets that are supposed to be sold to individual concert goers.
This is long overdue. With free enterprise, the acts would get more of the money that's spent on tickets and the consumer wouldn't have to pay the unnecessary and highly compensated middle man.

Toy scalping is as dangerous as elevating Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.
