Whats a Scalper?
A. By most definitions, a scalper is one who buys a lot of something, then sells them for an outrageously higher price because he has established a corner on the market for desirable goods. While it originally referred to tickets to popular events, (it is always better to buy concert tickets from a reputable source,) it now encompasses the buying and reselling of diecast toys, particularly Hot Wheels. While it is not illegal, it does raise questions of ethics.
