People who buy and resell collectibles or clothing for considerable profit with no intention of using the items themselves. The term is frequently associated with concert tickets, where people with no intent of going to a concert will drive the ticket prices up and skim a profit.
I see. I’m familiar with its use in ticketing. I’ve noticed arbitrage opportunity in some markets where items are sold far below market value because they are intended for a neighbor or just that community.
Is your wife seeing low priced items sourced from those marketplaces, or sold on those marketplaces?
