@getimiskon@fedi.getimiskon.xyz It's not a registrar though. It’s a scalper. Someone bought the name is now selling it again.

@sigmasternchen that should have been illegal, and scalpers deserve nothing but death by medieval torture methods.

@getimiskon@fedi.getimiskon.xyz Yeah, no. There are lots and lots of edge cases that arise when you make it illegal.
Also, no: Buying cheap and making a profit by selling is the basis of commerce. If want to kill everyone engaging in it, that’s bordering on genocide.

@sigmasternchen i don't mind if it's a reasonable price, making a profit isn't something bad by itself. But scalping isn't something that should be acceptable. Sure, what i said is more of a hyperbole, but in my opinion, scalpers don't deserve anything good in life.

@getimiskon@fedi.getimiskon.xyz I agree in principle. But I do think it would be difficult to put that into law. The only screw would be the resell price.
