A comment on Chip shortage leads carmaker Opel to shut German plant until 2022. Parent comment
They're taking advantage of some fluxuations to make money for themselves. That isn't helpful for the producer nor for the purchaser of the goods.
This isn't people setting up futures for 555 timers. This is people scooping up PS5s and immediately selling them for an extra $200.
Of course it's nobody's god-given right to own a PS5 but there's not value being produced here.
