Scalpers are huge on the rise as of late. I know they've been pushing their greedy asses out there for sometime now, but recently, we're extremely aware of them and we know what they do and why they do it. Today, Gearbox announced Borderlands: The Handsome Collection. Alongside it, they announced a special edition called the Claptrap-in-a-box edition for $400. It comes with all kinds of cool stuff, most notably, a huge scale RC Claptrap that you can control with your smartphone by downloading the ClaptrApp. All 5,000 units are gone and that's thanks to scalpers who are listing these items on ebay for about $600-$1,000. How do we know it's the scalpers? Literally no one wants to pay $400 for a collector's set. The fanbase is terrible for this series. They have no appreciation for anything that is done for the franchise. Scalpers have also been taking the stage with Nintendo's Amiibo NFC figurine series and almost everything Majora's Mask when it comes to Special Editions. I don't know about you guys, but I certainly don't appreciate the shady practice that's been trending fairly recently.
