What is Scalping

[jaydisc]

To them, There is no such thing as a little mark-up over the purchase price - Everything needs to be atleast double, if not triple what it cost them.

So are you saying the amount of markup is the defining characteristic? As long as the item is priced at less than double, it's not scalping?

Scalper = Buys everything that is in demand and sells it there and then for a profit. Instant money through capitalising on pissing everyone off.

Isn't this what every store does? What about the negotiation of a store exclusive?
