flag Scalping of collectibles is driving up prices in Wyoming, forcing fans to pay far more than MSRP.

flag Collectible scalping is worsening in Wyoming, where buyers use smartphones to identify high-demand items like Pop Vinyls and action figures, then resell them online at inflated prices. flag The practice, while not illegal, is seen as unethical, especially in a state with limited retail options and a small population, making it harder for genuine fans to find items at MSRP. flag Post-pandemic demand from pop culture franchises has fueled a surge in opportunistic reselling, creating a "nerd tax" that forces collectors to pay double or triple the original price. flag The author calls for action to address the unsustainable impact on true collectors, though no clear solution is proposed.
