not a lawyer but I have a feeling there are constitutional hurdles here to consider.

  Such as? The Commerce Clause has been interpreted extremely loosely in recent decades. If you can ban medical marijuana because it might travel across state lines (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gonzales_v._Raich https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gonzales_v._Raich), you can ban scalping on similar grounds.

    by "I have a feeling", it means I don't really know. I qualified this by saying I'm not a lawyer. I'll just go out on a limb and say first amendment reasons? It's kind of hand-wavy, but it's pretty broad and I can appreciate that it's applicable for so many forms of protection (do you like those t-shirts printed with illegal source code? I don't know. Don't ask me for analysis here.)
