Key difference: > the only one available vs > all the tickets since day one

  I don't think there's a difference there. If there are no GPUs available for MSRP and dozens or hundreds available for 2-3x MSRP, the price is 2-3x MSRP. Whether it's day one or day N, the price is what you can buy it for that day.

    Exactly. And people forget that market prices do not always go up. I've been to quite a few sporting events where I bought scalped tickets day of for less than face value. Tickets have expirations like options do. No seller wants to be still holding tickets when the event starts.

    That's not what we're comparing. > If there are no GPUs available for MSRP and dozens or hundreds available for 2-3x MSRP. If you want to extrapolate, it should be > Last year's $100 model has been selling for $500 on ebay. The new one would cost $110 but because of that, we'll now price it $550, because people pay for that. But hey, if you agree with that, you agree with that. I don't.

      Why would I not agree with people or organizations choosing the price they sell their products and services for? Outside of discriminatory practices (and I don't consider price differentiation to be discriminatory) or emergency scenarios (gouging for gas in a hurricane for example) I don't find lowering or raising prices on what is unquestionably entertainment to be immoral in any way. Why do you?
