Parasitic scalpers are ruining the hobby for collectors. The only thing that will change this is if people lost interest in Pokemon or simply refused to buy, which will eventually happen (it always does). The auto market is a wreck because people caught on to the dealerships (whom are practically scalpers themselves) adding mark ups and fees to vehicles. Now they can't sell them, it will eventually happen in Pokemon as well. I'm fine with not following the hobby anymore because I've lost all interest for these exact reasons.
