well, look, now, this idea is being used in new ways, and omar mehtab has been looking at the phenomenone scalpers. with the pandemic came lockdowns, and with the majority of the population stuck at home, we had nothing really to do...but buy. and so online spending went up. we bought clothes, hobby kits, sourdough starters, fire pits, hot tubs, gym equipment, anything to get us through it, and that includes gaming consoles like the brand—new p55. but there was a problem — the semiconductor shortage. the shortage of semiconductors... they don't have the semiconductors... what is that? simply put, they are the brains of modern electronics. so, they're in pretty much every product. electronics need them. cars, smart phones, laptops, gaming consoles. and so, with very few on the market, fans are trying websites to try and get them. however, there is money to be made. in come the scalpers. so, these are people who buy rare or sought—after items and resell them again at a higher price to make a profit. you've probably seen them outside of concerts, reselling tickets, or putting up a nice pair
