Scalping has been around for ages, but it?s only since it caused shortages of PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles that the practice really hit the headlines. As reported by VGC, six UK politicians have now called for legislation making scalping an illegal activity.
Yesterday, the politicians formally requested a debate in the House of Parliament about the practice of scalping. Their main request is ?prohibiting the resale of gaming consoles and computer components at prices greatly above Manufacturer?s Recommended Retail Price.? The request states that ?new releases of gaming consoles and computer components should be available to all customers at no more than the Manufacturer?s Recommended Retail Price.?
