Maybe if you weren’t scalping that shit then there wouldn’t be a market for knockoffs. Personally, I don’t care if I have a knockoff or the real deal anymore. As long as I and the console can’t tell the difference, who cares?

What exactly is your definition of scalping in this case

Sorry, wrong term. Price gouging. The market is absurd and most of it is thanks to WATA’s pump-and-dump shit.

For PS1?

95% of games are below $60, and the vast majority of those are below $20.
You might mean “more than I’m willing to pay,” but it’s a market. There are millions of copies of certain titles, so no one is cornering the market. People are just willing to pay more than you. In the case of PS1, maybe $10-20 more. No one is getting rich from that.
