What exactly is your definition of scalping in this case
Sorry, wrong term. Price gouging. The market is absurd and most of it is thanks to WATA’s pump-and-dump shit.
For PS1?

95% of games are below $60, and the vast majority of those are below $20.
You might mean “more than I’m willing to pay,” but it’s a market. There are millions of copies of certain titles, so no one is cornering the market. People are just willing to pay more than you. In the case of PS1, maybe $10-20 more. No one is getting rich from that.
