When things got cheaper over time scapers didn't have a chance. It would be idiotic, because the manufacturer themselves will sell you the product cheaper a few months/years after that.
But we live in a screwed up reality where old products get more expensive as time goes on. So being a scalper is profitable. Specially giving the apparently stock shortages that exist in every single product out there.
