Scalping is actually charging an excessive amount, to take advantage of desperate people who are looking for a rare item.
He's only charging an extra $2 to people who just want one, which covers his time and petrol.... and for all we know, he could even be someone who needs the extra money (which wouldn't be much from all these either).
Charging an extra $3 for each additional figure could be in case a person wanted several, with plans of just scalping them on ebay themselves. (how'd you feel if you thought you were helping out others, just to have someone only buy them from you to sell on ebay for twice the price)
