No because they only buy the best deals that would have sold fast anyway

No because they only buy the best deals that would have sold fast anyway
- CTDOCodebases 2mo agoThis happens with niche markets e.g. CRT TVs. Because CRTs are no longer made they are becoming rare but at the same time the market for them is small so what ends up happening is that opportunists take advantage of this and hoard them to create artificial scarcity. You could argue they are doing a service by saving them from ending up as e-waste but this isn't always the case. Sometimes sellers are just raising the floor price for their own benefit.
