Azure @spicycurry.bsky.social · 09/06/2026That’s not what scalping is, thats just real estate speculation (something that has happened as long as real estate has existed) and there’s one very easy fix for it (build more housing). 140 0
Hercules Mooligan @hercluesmooligan.bsky.social · 10/06/2026It is fucking exactly what scalping is, it could not be more scalping if it tried. Buying a good not to use it, but to jack up the price. It's parasite shit. The fact that it is a standard business practice to do it with a fundamental necessity isn't a defense of it 100 0
Azure @spicycurry.bsky.social · 10/06/2026No, scalping generally involves some form of arbitrage (buying at a lower price point only to immediately turn around and sell at a higher price point). That’s very difficult to do with real estate, because houses are generally listed on the market where any potential buyer can see them. 110 0
