Scalping is usually to sell back to the market at a higher price. People will do that with anything that is in demand but low supply, which has been the case with the initial release of rPi products in the past. I doubt they'll make much, but they make something.
We have an official reseller but it’s been out of stock for months unfortunately. The making a quick buck on other people’s misfortune thing is widespread here. PS5s still cost upwards of $1000.
Unfortunately there are ways around any scheme to limit scalpers, so no matter what you try they will still come and you'll just inconvenience the genuine people who was the product/show/other even more.
