> You beat [GPU] scalpers by going to Micro Center. They’ll only sell them in store and they check ID to make sure you don’t buy them more than once every 30 days.

That didn't even occur to me, but that's why, when I went to Micro Center to buy a Raspberry Pi, they had a limit of one per customer. I asked the employee helping me about the limit, because I was thinking of buying four Pis to build a small Kubernetes cluster for my homelab. He said if I was buying four Pis, that would probably be fine, just let them know ahead of time. I figured they were trying to keep them in-stock to match demand; the idea of scalpers just didn't occur to me. Of course, GPUs are in way higher demand than Pis.
