[Prime] Pax resellers on Craigslist - flag 'em!

Hey guys - the only way to prevent the rush of Scalpers is to
1) DO NOT buy at outrageous prices. That will continue to make it worse each year.
2) There are a bunch of ridiculous posts on the Seattle craigslist site. I'd encourage everyone to report/flag as spam. Maybe it's a tad vengeful, but seriously - those trying to sell at higher costs deserve a little passive aggressive harassment.

I think the PAX people might be well-served e-mailing interest to those selling tickets, then cross-referencing e-mails and cancelling the orders of those who are selling. A pipe dream I know.

I highly doubt anybody is paying what these guys are asking, anyhow. Keep in mind that none of us will even have the physical badges until 2 weeks before the convention, so these Craigslist/eBay sellers are doing nothing more than collecting names right now. Names which will back out once they realize the ticket they thought they had to pay $300 for is now selling for $130.
Incidentally, there's nothing in the purchase from the PAX people that says you can't re-sell your badges. So why would they A) incur the expense of ferreting these people out and
That violates eBay rules (and flag the fuck out of eBay listings), but not Craigslist rules.
Scalping isn't illegal in WA. Its illegal in Seattle within like 1,000ft (Forget the exact distance) of the two stadiums' property but that's it.
