Walmart Marketplace = Scalpers

So Walmart Marketplace enables scalpers to buy items and resells them on their marketplace for a 40% mark up.

Ive been noticing this on walmart.com and walmart.ca.

For example: Cmdstore unlisted SKY LYNX today while walmart had it listed sold/shipped by walmart. Assuming Cmdstore bought them all out and re-actived their listing.

Cmd buys up all the big ticket items and before they even get the items in hand they put thrm up for scalper pricing an hour later, they bought all potp optimal optimus when it was on sale for 39.99 and listed them at $110 an our later.

Re: Walmart Marketplace = Scalpers

Walmart and Amazon need to kick cmdstore and everyone like them off their platform and give the legitimate consumers an actual shot at the product.

Ya unlike how we feel about collecting toys, CBC wouldn't classify it as a necessity.

I wouldn't be focusing on the toys, I'd point out what a messed up/misleading website it is for the items they list for sale. Even daily essentials, like detergent can be sold at jacked up prices.
