How are you using such confident language on what the scalpers in this space will or will not do base on ... what looks like Econ 101 supply / demand curves? Do you have some expertise you're not including as context here?
- bryan0 4y agoYeah this a fair point, I’m coming off way too confident on a complicated topic. I’d revise my comment to say: I think this is not true, which can be seen if you make 2 basic assumptions: 1. Scalpers want to make money and 2. There is a max price people are willing to pay for shoes. Then there will be some price Nike can set which will cause scalpers to leave the market.
