UK politicians are calling for action against scalping. And action which they are looking into as parliament is considering legal action against second hand selling. Remember this is about you selling to your friend we talking about someone buying online and then selling at a high price.
“Several members of the UK parliament have filed a motion intended to look at “prohibiting the resale of gaming consoles and computer components at prices greatly above Manufacturer’s Recommended Retail Price” in addition to making the resale of goods obtained via bots illegal. In case you somehow weren’t already aware, the resale of the next-gen video game consoles like the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X has been quite lucrative, and the use of bots to find and grab such items has long been a problem since before the current console launch.
As of writing, the “Early Day Motion” titled “Resale of gaming consoles and computer components purchased by automated bots” has 25 signatures, and essentially suggests that parliament should look at putting forth legal policy similar to that of secondary selling of tickets for gaming consoles and computer components. While it sounds like, based on the sort of motion it is and the support it has, there will be a debate on the topic, it’s currently unclear what sort of outcome to expect if any.”
