Scalpers are a symptom, NVIDIA's tactics are the problem.

Scalpers wouldn't exist if NVIDIA didn't employ anti consumer tactics. By drip-feeding the market with their products, NVIDIA creates an artificial shortage to keep prices as high as possible and because the supply is lower than the demand Scalpers find the opportunity to step in and make a profit. NVIDIA actually benefits from scalpers because they make NVIDIA's MSRP prices appear more reasonable in comparison.

I used to do the same trick in the past when I was playing MMORPGs and had a mountain of materials for sale on my character but didn't want to crash the market, hehe.
