but the modern scalper is a little bit different. they use internet bots online software that s programmed to do a certain task. so, that could be buying the first tickets available for a trip to majorca. telling me when the ferrari testarossa is under 100k. or telling me when new stock of ps5 appears on a website. and when you ve got a bot, there s almost no limit to how many you could buy to allow you to resale. and the fact is, whether you like it or not, scalping and the use of stock check bots are legal. douglas, can you give a clap for me, please? this is douglas chapman, an mp leading the charge in proposing to ban the resale of gaming consoles purchased with automated bots. i think it s skewing the market beyond what s reasonable.
wanted to know who was stopping me from buying one of these for so long. this is jack, a scalper. he got into reselling years ago and made big money. for example, by flipping 150 pound trainers for up to £1000. he is a former investment banker who made £1500 at bank a month and he has given up that dayjob because now since setting up his company, he claims that he has made £456,000 in revenue in subscriptions alone. he helps others resell with a plethora of channels with info on advice. people pay a £30 a month
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 of shoes on ebay for double the price. but the modern scalper is a little bit different. they use internet bots online software that s programmed to do a certain task. so, that could be buying the first tickets available for a trip to majorca. telling me when the ferrari

over everyone else. ..including me. most websites sold out within minutes, and i didn t want to pay up to a grand buying it from a scalp. instead, i use a free stock checker, which relies on word of mouth from shop employees to predict stock releases. but it was often futile against the scalpers bots. groans so.i would often find myself waiting up to 2am, 3am on websites, refreshing like mad. screaming ..before finally getting lucky. so, i wanted to know who was stopping me from buying one of these for so long. this is jack, a scalper. he got into reselling years ago and made big money.
