Scalpers Are Eating GOOD This Season: The Rest of Us? Not So Much - Error Code Show

About this episode

The episode discusses the impact of scalpers on the collectible market during the holiday season.

Each week we give you breakdowns, debates, analysis, Easter eggs, and video essays about your favorite games, TV shows, music, movies and more. Especially if your favorites include superhero movies and Star Wars. You can add your opinion and join us LIVE each week over on our Twitch channel: https://www.twitch.tv/humanoidhq or our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@errorcodeshow --------------------------------------------------------------- This year’s holiday collectible lineup is stacked: from K-Pop demon hunters to new Ninja Turtles figures to limited-edition releases across basically every fandom. The problem? You’re never going to see half of them because scalpers have already cleared the shelves like a biblical plague. We break down the coolest stuff coming this season, why collectors are losing their minds, and how the scalper economy keeps screwing over literally everyone who just wants a cool figure for their desk… or their kid… or themselves, because we all know these aren’t “for the kids.” --------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the video version of this episode here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnpgPI7aStk…
