What is Scalping

[MV75]

Jaydisc, why are you so hell bent on trying to bring retailers into this?

It's not like the average joe can go and buy the toys directly from hasbro. You have to buy them from a store unless you are buying on the same scale the stores are. What are you going to do with 1000 case assortments? Plus are you creating employment like the stores are?

The difference is that a store will not buy them all for itself. Can't find it? Go to another store. Too dear? Go to another store.

Now as for scalpers, they deliberatly create a shortage, thus a monopoly.

Plus you then have to fight over others for bids. Stores don't auction their goods typically at a store front.

I don't know why I even have to explain this.
