This only works for so long and some of these folks will be caught with product they don’t want and have to either keep it or sell it at a loss. Sucks when you’re looking for something and can’t get it but they will get theirs.
I do agree it a crappy thing to do. Not as much with pinball machines, but with daily essentials. Trying to makers a buck off of other people just trying to get by isn’t a kind way to live.
