Logitech to report exploitative webcam resellers who are price gouging

Webcams are in high demand and in short reply. If you don't already own a standalone webcam, chances are you are not going to be able to find one selling at a reasonable price. The coronavirus pandemic has locked down various countries and businesses and workers have taken to online conferencing tools like Zoom or Google Hangouts to stay connected and productive.

Logitech, who makes a range of HD webcams is putting its foot down and reporting resellers that are taking advantage of this shortage. “With a dramatic shift in remote work, distance learning and telemedicine over the past few weeks, many Logitech products are in high demand across the globe,” A Logitech spokesperson told The Verge by email. Still, Logitech can only control official sales channels, people are selling these webcams on services like Craigslist and adding a $60 to $70 premium on top. Have you had issues finding a webcam, let us know in the comments below.
