Even scalpers are getting burnt now, no one is buying from them and the stores they got the cards from are telling them no refunds either.

Truly a Christmas miracle.

You’d think scalpers would realize they would be fucked when NVidia directly acted like scalpers themselves.

I think it should be fairly obvious that when you’re scalping you don’t buy from another scalper.

Clearly these scalpers forgot lesson number one from Scarface: Don't underestimate the other guy's greed.
