Thanks, this story warms my heart. Anyone else got any good stories of someone who tried to be a scalper but instead ended up with too much of something they didn’t want and less money than before?
I’ll go, a coworker saw a story about one of the previous xboxes getting modded (case painted) and sold at a ridiculous markup, like something in the thousands, and bought like 4 of them to try that himself.
I’ll give him credit that at least he was trying to add value to them, but in the end he sold them at about cost to people who just wanted xboxes and didn’t care about his mediocre paint job.
Friend of mine thought he could make a quick buck on 4 tickets for a concert nearby, but since the ticket provider won’t send out digital tickets until right before the concert he might not try this one again lol

I can tell you one time when I scalped enough gpus to afford top of the top pc and vr. I was so proud of that one
