The scalpers here work for Walmart and Target. I went into the Walmart about a mile from my house to do a Joe-check and low and behold the re-stock cart was sitting in front of the toy isles. So I scanned the cart for hasbro boxes, pretending i was checking out some crappy toys, when suddenly this 300 lb, sloppy lookin, saggy-pants wearing, short legged, mid-20-something kid walks over to the cart and begins to open boxes. He totally had this sleazy, "I just work the toy department to scalp stuff to sell on ebay" look. He kinda glared at me as I was scanning the Joe section which was completely empty aside from the Scarlet/Hawk comic packs. There was nothing on his cart so I left. The next day my wife needed to stop and pick up some stuff so we decided to do a Joe-check and there was the cart again. We went to the Joes and the pegs were bursting full. I thought "At last, I'll get some BATS and Snow Serpents." There were some wave 9 in there but none of the BATS and S. Serps. Just then I saw the scalper slob again just giving me a smug look as if to say "Beatcha to it chump." I had told my wife about this guy the day before and how he fits the loser-scalper stereotype and she took one look at this goon and said "OMG...you weren't kiddin....and he looks like and a$$hole too!" My wife appreciates Joes and even has a few herself...I'm a lucky man! Theres just something about these people that make you want to beat them with a ham!

Can't understand half of the posts on this thread. Must be because I live in Michigan.

Here's what I don't understand. Whats the difference between someone who works at a store and buys the toys, and the guy who buys the toys on lunch break? Why does the guy who work there have to be a "scalper"? Maybe he's just a collector? Or maybe fat-ass put out the toys and someone else got to them before you did, and maybe he was giving you a smug look because he thought you were a scalper? I mean you fit the bill right? A fully grown adult wandering a children's toy aisle looking for collectable, hard-to-find toys, and a bit miffed you couldn't find them... right? Oh wait sorry. Everyone you see wandering a toy aisle must be a scalper, except for you, the true collector. C'mon guys. Bottom line is, unless we hear someone talking about how they're going to sell it on eBay the fat-ass next to you could be another fellow lover of the line. Even if he talks about selling it, maybe that's how a guy who can't otherwise afford to collect Joes can do it. So c'mon guys, get off your soap box.
