I think the retailers need to come up with a better system for ordering though I'm not sure what they should do.

It's tough, I read on some of what they do, and they still enlist regular people to perform the snipe and purchase.

Even if you
  • Limit to 1
  • Billing address matches shipping address

It won't stop what they are doing when they enlist a large of number of people to snipe for them.

To stop the sniping, I think you could do a lottery system, but that has pitfalls as well if the scalpers just overwhelm the lottery system to give them the highest odds by sheer numbers. .
