That is true, the Internet (and technology) has changed things forever, including human behaviour.

The Internet has enabled the ‘quick buck’ in a way in a way never before possible and there’s no putting the genie back in the bottle.

Perhaps a large destruction of demand is indeed the only way to end flipping, especially since Rolex is not planning to ‘rectify’ the supply situation.
