If scalpers are able to sell a product at higher price, doesn't that mean the company priced the product too low?



I think scalping is more of a supply issue, raising the official price of the product would only require more cash when scalpers are doing their buying.


Raspberry should raise the price until scalping isn't profitable. Keeping the price low is just handing money to scalpers that should be going towards future product development, until they can meet the demand.
