An article about a reddit post blaming scalpers...
Demand was high, so it sold out. There are definitely scalpers but the percentage of real buyers is probably way higher.
Without hard numbers it's all speculation either way.
True but if you look on eBay there aren't nearly enough postings as to suggest scalpers grabbed all of them.
