That changes what you said previously and isn't what I responded to. We are talking about supply, not demand.

Scalpers do not decrease supply.

Scalpers do not increase demand.

Scalpers offer a service to users to buy hard-to-find-products now without waiting or searching.

We are going to have to agree to disagree on this one. In the second link, it is in reference to tickets. At the end of the day, tickets are all the same. If you can't get the front row of the show, you'll accept something back a bit... because you want to see the show.

GPUs are different. Miners want specific brands and models and won't / can't accept anything else.
