Reseller getting dragged

Post has been deleted but this guy was looking to buy the October keyblade for about half the going value, then people came for him to call him out on his recent keyblade sales.

You’ve gotta be kidding…

Posting the line numbers and all the nasty scalper wristbands is CRAZY work 🤢

EDIT FOR CONTEXT:
The listing is for the Keyblade pins that released today. The wrist bands represent the spots in the line that the scalper has. Meaning they have spots 231-239 and are proving that they’re able to buy 18 keys to sell at $200/piece. The wristbands are 1 per person, so they dragged 8 of their friends/family members with them for the sole intention of getting the most pins and making the most money.
I found this listing after the wristbands had been handed out (7:00) but before the store actually opened to buy them (10:00).

I’m also curious how they managed to get wristbands that are loose. Myself and everyone I spoke with all had the Cast Members physically put the band on us, with one of my friends telling me that she asked to carry it and they told her they were required to put it on her. But rules don’t seem to apply to these people so what do I know

What are your thoughts on the Whatnot "Spinning Wheel" shows?

People are paying upwards of $30 - $50 for a chance to win "grails" but most people are getting a random hidden mickey worth less than $8. The worst case of this I've seen is a show that sells Loungefly bags so people are bidding upwards of $100 and most only get a nylon drawstring bag worth $2! And they keep bidding round after round! IT'S CRAZZZZZZZZZY!!! Honestly, it feels like straight gambling.

Why does Disney love scalpers

I don’t understand. The dmv has better line control, making sure everyone gets a fair chance. Scalpers got 10 pins today because they pushed everyone, went to multiple stores, and cut lines. I don’t know what their problem is. It’s a FUCKING PIN! anything but getting a job… Disney needs to make virtual queues, force people to only buy two PER PASS and regulate these damn lines. Is it that hard to make a designated line and entry point?

Two sides to the problem

I know resellers are a problem, but honestly, they do it because they will always have people who are going to buy. I just hopped onto a Whatnot where someone selling some PALM pins, I asked for a couple of prices and was honestly astounded, mainly because the pins are still available on PALM's website! Then someone else asks them to run a pin that is currently available for $50 on the site for $75!!! I had to close out. The more I learn about pins and get more into collecting/trading the more I realize that Whatnot is definitely not it, at least for me. I recently started doing some trading in FB groups and let's see how that goes.
