Why are they scalping PIs? Not much use for mining right?
- dspillett 5y agoScalping is usually to sell back to the market at a higher price. People will do that with anything that is in demand but low supply, which has been the case with the initial release of rPi products in the past. I doubt they'll make much, but they make something.
- beezischillin 5y agoWe have an official reseller but it’s been out of stock for months unfortunately. The making a quick buck on other people’s misfortune thing is widespread here. PS5s still cost upwards of $1000.
- prox 5y agoThat sucks. They should limit how many they sell to a buyer.
- dspillett 5y agoUnfortunately there are ways around any scheme to limit scalpers, so no matter what you try they will still come and you'll just inconvenience the genuine people who was the product/show/other even more.
- rawbot 5y agoPi's have always had a lot of resale value, specially in countries where they are not manufactured (no official reseller).
