Chapter 1257 Tragic Scalpers
There are many poor people in this world, but also many rich people.
$5,999 is an astronomical sum for the poor, but for the rich, it's less than what they pay for a meal out.
Rich people who don't buy virtual helmets want to buy virtual helmets from other places.
Because virtual helmets have a 15-minute purchase time, this time is enough for them to trade.
For a time, various channels for selling activation codes appeared on the Internet.
Of course, these people who sell activation codes have chosen other transaction methods invariably.
After all, selling activation codes on the official forum of Xingchen Group, isn't that just courting death?
In just 15 minutes, the activation code of the virtual helmet changed hands several times on the Internet, and finally landed among some local tyrants.
If it is an ordinary person, there may really be no way to stop this kind of transaction.
After all, on the Internet, massive resources are generated all the time, and it is quite difficult to find them.
But this is not a problem for Feiyun at all, it was locked as soon as they grabbed the activation code.
In fact, Xingchen Group did not pay attention to this kind of transaction. The reason why they gave 15 minutes of consideration time was that they also considered giving them the opportunity to resell to a certain extent.
In a scalper WeChat group.
"20,000 yuan to purchase the activation code of the virtual helmet Huaxia version, a large number of purchases, friends who need to exchange money, please contact in time."
"30,000 yuan to buy a virtual helmet, you only need one, no matter what version."
"Sell a virtual helmet for 50,000 yuan, and provide any version. As long as you dare to ask for it, I will have it. Don't miss this opportunity, the time will not come, the last ten minutes of trading time, friends who want, please contact me as soon as possible."
"A large number of virtual helmets are sold for 30,000 yuan each. You can't buy them and you can't be fooled. Friends who need them, please contact them in time."
News of various acquisitions and sales flooded various WeChat groups.
They are sold or bought for several times the price.
The low double sells, and the high even goes up to nearly ten times as high.
Information is refreshed very quickly, and transactions are also fast.
Some people who have not purchased virtual helmets through official channels naturally turn their attention to these scalpers.
When these people took the activation codes purchased from the scalpers and went to buy them, they were dumbfounded.
"Sorry, this activation code is obtained through illegal channels and cannot be activated temporarily. If necessary, please purchase it from official channels."
All of a sudden these people were not happy, and everyone asked the scalpers for an explanation.
They don't mind paying a high price for a virtual headset, but if they can't, they don't want to spend a penny.
They know that they obtained it through illegal channels, and naturally it is impossible to put this pot on the Xingchen Group, so they can only find those who sold it to them.
If it is only a part of the people, there may not be any way.
But don't forget that those people who can spend a lot of money on virtual helmets are not rich and expensive.
When this group of people unites, it is not the scalpers who can hold on.
"Brother, I'm very sorry, I'll refund you right away."
For a time, those scalpers had to return the money that had not been covered up to those buyers.
There are several scalpers who want to not retreat. However, they were retaliated soon after. No one knows who was retaliated against, but it is certain that it is related to this transaction.
In fact, this transaction, for the scalpers, did not lose too much, after all, these activation codes were also grabbed by them, and they did not need to cost too much.
But for those who bought activation codes from other people at a high price and sold them to others to get the difference, this group of people lost a lot.
But no one will feel sorry for these people. These are all black-hearted scalpers. They can sell a purchase qualification to such a high level that everyone can't say they are yelling at them, but they are happy to see their tragedy.
For this scalper incident, Xingchen Group once again temporarily issued a new announcement.
"Dear users:
Thank you very much for your support for virtual helmets. If you have friends who need to buy virtual helmets, please buy them through official channels.
Any activation codes or virtual helmets obtained through illegal channels will be subject to certain restrictions.
In order to avoid the interests and safety of the majority of users, once again persuade everyone to buy from official channels.
For activation codes obtained through illegal channels, or activation codes that cannot be paid due to other reasons, this part of the virtual helmets will be sold again at 12:00 today.
According to statistics, 168,752 virtual helmets were not sold due to various reasons.
If you need a friend, please buy it in time.
Star Group
February 1, 2020. "
"I'll go, no, there are still so many virtual helmets that haven't been sold? Does that mean I have another chance to grab it?"
"There are nearly 160,000 virtual helmets. Are these scalpers too exaggerated?"
"I'm afraid these scalpers will suffer heavy losses this time."
"That's not to say, for most scalpers, it's just a loss of some labor costs at most."
"But after this incident, I'm afraid those scalpers will not dare to hype virtual helmets anymore, right?"
"That's not necessarily true. As the so-called Tao is one foot high and the devil is three feet high, it depends on whether those scalpers can break through the technical limitations of the Star Group."
"Break through the technical limitations of Xingchen Group? Then you think too highly of these scalpers. If they really have such technology, I am afraid that Xingchen Group will not be able to turn."
in a group.
Old Wang made a lingering expression, but fortunately, he held back and didn't engage in these virtual helmets, otherwise, it would be miserable.
This is known by looking at the old friend from the beginning. He suppressed all his net worth, and in the end, he lost all his money, and it was also thanks to his rich family. Otherwise, he really had to go out to eat dirt.
For the scalpers, most people stay away, but when they need it, they have to find a way to buy them from the scalpers at a high price.
It is precisely because of these people that the scalpers have the soil to survive.
If everyone buys through formal channels, there may be no scalpers.
But in fact, the possibility of completely eliminating scalpers is still very small.
As long as there is demand, there will be scalpers.
Like this scalper incident, if they weren't too greedy, they could have done it in a different form.
For example, they contacted those who wanted to buy virtual helmets in advance, and they bought them at the same time.
Buying by multiple people is always more likely than buying by one person, and the chances of being seen through it are also relatively small.
