Except that dude isn't scalping the figure. He's letting the market set the price for him. Not like he set the auction at a 100 dollar buy it now....

Remember, anything in life is only worth what you are willing to pay for it.

A lot of the high bidders are most likely YouTube reviewers trying to be the first out the gate with a review, especially if their channel is set up to help pay their bills. Having something prompt like that really can help out in the long run, because once the bigger named reviewers get their hands on it, their advantage (as well as their revenue stream) is more likely to drop significantly.

It's one of the reasons why I never created my own review channel. I just don't have the desire (or the funds) to compete with those guys.
