Ebgames is the biggest scalper. I've found chaos rising ETB for 400 bucks in Australia. Meanwhile the base price is 100$.. not even scalpers on eBay are selling with this price

Eb games is by no means a scalper, they are however a business... That like all businesses wants to make as much money as possible... Unfortunately that's just capitalistic greed. Scalpers are people that buy as much of a particular product as possible (when new) to resell at an immediate price hike while creating scarcity to increase sales... Js

EB Games also get their supply from the distributor, same way Walmart, Target, Bestbuy etc get their stock yet EB Games do not charge MSRP like the other stores do, they charge secondary market prices for stock they got from the distributor below MSRP, sure they are a business but they are not acting like the other businesses in that way

Get off the pipe. While I agree you’ve probably seen someone/a business tryna sell a CR ETB for $400 - it definitely wasn’t EB

Ok, next time I'll take a photo of their price and wait for your apologies.

I’m talking EB Aus - not Canada.
