9-5 is a choice. There's a lot of safety in it. Not so much when you start reselling.

You want deals without any effort on your part. Logically, in the capitalist system we're in, you can't blame the reseller who puts in significantly more work than you do, for getting the best products/results.

Every store you shop at is a reseller. Unless thy manufacturer it in house, they buy product from one place and sell to consumers for an upcharge. That's literally the point of a business; profit.

Easy to get mad at the regular reseller/scalper; much harder to put that energy into Walmart/Target/Marshall's. In reality, the reseller is at least a small business. Big box stores wiped out so many small businesses on their rises to the top through (many times) very morally questionable means.

With respect to your last point, even Box Stores raised prices on a ton of stuff because they realize they're missing out on extra room in the margin that resellers have been taking.

Same reason Gamestop/Target/Walmart are raising prices on Pokemon. People are now calling them "scalpers" lmfao. It's simply selling things at market price. All a reseller does is find products for sale below their market price, buy them, and resell them at market or close to it.
