BittyRanger Posted February 3, 2022 Report Share Posted February 3, 2022 Okay so I’m a new member to the underground and I apologize if this has been brought up before, but what are every ones thoughts on people scalping on here. And if you support it why so ? Genuinely curious as to what people really think of the current market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKNNH Posted February 3, 2022 Report Share Posted February 3, 2022 Supply and demand. If people want it, they'll buy it. If you don't like it, then move on. BittyRanger, Bassmann86, 168 Rookie and 9 others 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mml420 Posted February 3, 2022 Report Share Posted February 3, 2022 It sucks paying it but when I get what I want I forget about it pretty fast most guys on here selling baits for high prices paid high prices anyway JustAnotherHookerInDC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey bro, I know none of this makes sense to you, and by no means am I supporting “scalping” aka flipping, but you don’t need to come out here and call out well respected members like SVT and some of the other guys that you have. Read the black market rules, people can ask whatever price they want for their stuff. If we all disagree with it and don’t buy it, then the prices will eventually come back down. Some of these guys “scalping” help others get their hands on baits or gear that otherwise is not attainable. Their time facilitating that comes with a price. There’s no need for any extra drama or animosity if you don’t like the price, just simply don’t buy it as others should do the same chevro1et, A7T3C, SVT THUNDER and 19 others 21 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricardo Posted February 4, 2022 Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 I’ll buy flipped baits! I miss all drops, I make 0 effort to go to any events to get them at retail. So if someone wants to stand in line and sell me a bait at 5 times retail, lets make it happen cause idgaf and I’m addicted. jmpatacsil, slobaru_, danthefisherman and 32 others 17 1 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BittyRanger Posted February 4, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 Who’s calling anyone out? I don’t get it? I can’t voice my opinion on the BM so I took it to this sub forum. It’s my right to disagree, should I have commented those immature things? No, and I regret saying those things to them. My opinion on scalping stands how it is. It’s hard for me not to say anything as I’m currently learning the retail prices of a lot of these baits. like you said I just don’t understand that part yet. As a new comer to SU I can definitely perceive there’s a hive mentality I can’t tell you how many people say the same things to me . “That’s just the way it is”. I can’t support that flipping aspect or the people who do it. Some people only see dollars signs and others see the bait for its intended purpose. This ain’t drama at all this my opinion and I chose to voice it to anyone who would read. ricardo and gary m 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone else understood precisely what I was saying. Tone it down a few notches and you might find the answers you’re looking for if you’re new to swimbaits. Lot of great anglers on here that can and will help others. But not with that attitude. 168 Rookie, CG_Fishes, Bassmann86 and 9 others 8 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BittyRanger Posted February 4, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 Haven’t seen a single real opinion here yet. The overwhelming amount of people who say don’t like it is a little weird. can’t lie. it’s like everyone just regurgitates that one black market rule but if you read a little longer you can see and it also says to take it to another forum if I choose to and I did.sad to see an underwhelming amount of thought put into these answers. It was disappointing. gary m 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
