Scalping refers to the practice of buying high-demand products with the sole purpose of reselling them at a higher price, often through online platforms. The term “scalper” is commonly used to describe individuals or businesses that engage in such activities.
Scalping can be a lucrative business, as scalpers can potentially profit from the high demand for certain products. However, it can also be a controversial practice, as it can lead to higher prices for consumers and reduced availability of products for those who genuinely need them.
