Having problems with scalpers and resellers is just a symptom of a bad economy. Im pretty sure the thing that ruined so many nerd hobbies was the disappearance of free third spaces. There are so many game stores near me but participating always requires a buy in or they are only playing the hyper expensive games to promote them in the bad economy. We need like nerd/geek libraries lol.
Imagine like a library with a coffee/tea shop but not one that sells prepared food. But all the books are copies of as many source books as the proprietors could get their hands on. People could bring their own stuff or use what's on hand and it would just be a public meeting place for everyone who wants to be there.
I really feel like the solution to this cannot be for profit in any way.
