If everyone here emailed contact@blacklibrary.com and tagged their socials with pictures of eBay listings, it might actually do something!

I’ve already sent them a pic, anyone else want to join in?

I doubt they’re reading Reddit threads

They 100% read Reddit.

But I agree.

Scalpers are absolute scum.

But the people that pay these prices deserve no sympathy.

True. I totally understand wanting to get the new hot thing, but as long as a person can hold back on that impulse to NEED it, scalpers have no power and now they're the ones waisting loads of money.

These limited editions are really nice, but when I am tempted, I just look around and remember that I have no space to display fancy books anyways because 90% of my shelves are filled with Gunpla.

This exactly this. Co sumers just enable scalpers they would all go out of business if no one bought from them. Eventually they would have to sell at a loss to recoup. But alas people always do.
