Oh, I mean, if it costs enough to enter the market that other people don’t step in during times of high demand and scalping, why don’t the original manufacturers raise their prices to closer to what the scalpers/resellers are getting, at least until some competition arrives. there must be some mechanism making that unattractive / not work is all I mean - maybe the fact that people can redesign to a different chip.
