As far as scalpers go, he seems like a nice guy...except for the whole scalping retail toys go. So, the manager lets us in, we both zoom over to the SW/Joe aisle. I snag a Pre Vizsla from the sw pegs and beam over to the joes. We both lock onto the new joes at the same time and i grab cc first but he grabs it as i am taking him off the peg. He's like "I need that one" and I'm like "So do I". The weird thing is he tugs on it as if to take it from my hand and I tell him "I got it first man" and he lets go and stalks off saying "Thats F****d up". Ok, heres the weird part....i kinda felt bad. I mean, i did grab it first, but i dunno....I thought about going to the marvel aisle he had gone to just hand him the thing, but then the whole "sells retail toys for crazy markups" factor kicked in and I proceeded to the check-out. So, what do you tankers think? Righteous score or douche move?
I`d have told him if he didn't let go, he'd have a problem cause the figure is currently in your grasp , which means your pending property. And He may have a serious reaction that may constitute the local EMTs .
Good move on your part. I laugh at scalpers that I see here. I know a few o' them... trust me.. the first guy that did that to me never did touch the entire case after that.
