The latter just annoys me. These are the people who will go to TRU at the moment it opens and clean out the shelf that was just restocked and buy the good Joes and other 1:18 scale toys and leave behind the leftovers that no one will buy. So by the time you get to TRU these assholes have already ravaged the shelves like a tornado leaving you with the unwanted leftovers. Then they will just re-sell them on ebay and jack up the price like that asshole who is selling a USS FLag for 18k and the jerks who are selling Joe action figs on amazon for 2 or 3 dollars higher than the normal retail price.

I've hit stores at opening/convinced employees to pull stuff from the back so I can get first picks/the best, but sadly whenever I get home I tend to have everything torn open... so reselling isn't really an option... but damn they all look so awesome standing on the flagg in the other room.
I think the only time I've bought a figure second-hand, was when that guy posted here he was clearing things out cheap on eBay, and had the DVD packs for around 5 bucks/single-cards for 4 or so, I ended up troop building a bit and grabbed the DVD packs from him, but I can't really call that supporting a scalper. |

Those magical folks are scalpers. Unfortunately they do make some money from us collectors. If I want a figure bad enough I'll pay double the price to get it.
