Sneaker reseller complains that he can’t upcharge customers anymore

Breaking news: 35 year old man child realizes he has no marketable skills when his scalping falls out from under him

Just call them scalpers as their pathetic nature has always been ripping people off.

Douchebag is crying about market competition when he upsells a 200 dollar sneaker for 300 dollars

That is exactly how I pictured an adult sneaker seller to look

Wait a sec. Do people really think scalping is a career?

Lmao he actually said "we have fullfilled an need...". What kind of purpose does reselling for a markup have?

These people provide zero value to anyone. Their entire business is buying up limited product and then ripping off people by using the shortage they themselves created.

Bro, I know everyone's entitled to their lifestyle and I shouldn't yak yuks, but bro, like how materialistic to you all need to present as? Tats, chain, shoes is life.

Like its just so gaudy and valueless from my perspective, why do you allow consumerism to shape your whole ass identity?

So much of the American economy is just people who sit in between the supplier and the consumer and jack up the prices.

Compared to the rest of the world, my experience of the states was constantly having to deal with scalpers & resellers, or their more respectable titles of “brokers” or “dealerships”.

“What do we do?” Uh, stay out of the fucking middle. Scalpers are big reason retailers raised prices on goods like shoes and concert tickets. They realized what people are willing to pay and acted accordingly. My suggestion for scalpers is to find a unique niche that doesn’t involve buying up new products before everyone else so that you can overcharge and spend the profits on your vape pens. Try refurbishing old goods and reselling. That actually takes skill and helps to create a surplus of new goods that retailers will eventually have to drop pricing on to sell. Win win.
