may be moving past that for a lot of products. There would be much indignation at reported prices out of the gate, but removi💮ng intermediaries 🍃should net out better for consumers in the end.
Scalping has been a massive problem for those trying to secure a PS5, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S around the world since all three consoles launched in November last year. As of December, it was reported that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upwards of 60,000 next-gen consoles were resol🍎d by scalpers for profit, leading one UK retailer to manually check e♐ach individual next-gen console order after massive hauls from one specific group.
Just last month, UK customers in particular were still struggling to get their handsꦗ on Sony's next-gen console through official channels. Around the same time, UK politicians a🔜dvanced plans to cr𒈔ack down on scalping with new laws that would restrict the resale of consoles, similar to the🍎✱ manner in which concert ticket resales are heavily restricted. The bill hasn't passed into law as of right now, and there's doubts it ever will, but the MP who proposed the legislation hopes it will spur the government into taking action.
