WOW I 'd pay to see something like that.

Headphones, as we call him, has been at it for as long as I can remember. He doesn't have a car and rides the bus all over the Valley. I've seen him running across a Target parking lot just to make it to his next stop in time to grab just about everything he can carry. His nappy hair, gray Members Only jacket, and of course his headphones, makes him a true stand-out in a crowd.
Dirty Sanchez hides out in Los Feliz and frequents that TRU over there. He does have a booth at F&S and is a tough one get around. He doesn't see toys, all he sees are dollar $igns.
The guy in the overalls we call Plumber Bob. He's a big Hotwheels collector who has told his story of his 6 storage units full of his "collection." He's a bit more talkative than most, and has slowed down on the scalping recently, but he's always fun to chat up every once in a while.
Then there's Peg-leg Pete. He usually makes the midnight runs to the Panorama City WM and looks for Hotwheels, Cars, SW, DC, etc...You can tell him by the slight limp that he's got.
Anyway, I think I've taken a few pics over the years of some of these guys in action. There's always been talk of creating sort of a Rogue's Gallery of these guys, but it never came to pass. Too funny!
I don't know whether to laugh or cry.I work in L A but I sm glad
I never met thesr people before.lol

also the BENDER strikes at alhambra TRU, found the new dc green lantern wave 1 all bended after work
I left the SVG but pass through from time. Boy the scalpers haven't changed only their methods. I hope they stay away. Like far away....
