Now I need to sell it, and one way or another I will be making money off it.
Some people think that's a douchebag move, but hey, I don't have money to throw around like some people.  |
That is a little douchbaggish, but, it still doesn't classify you as a "true" scalper. Scalpers are sinister, evil beings who sit in the sky and prey on all our limited releases here on Earth. Then every time something is announced, they find a way to buy dozens of copies and fuck us poor, simple, starving collectors over. I believe they get a real "kick" out of watching us crawl, scrape and beg. Same goes for promotional items that are usually given out free. They grab as many as they can and resell them all. Greedy bastards in the clouds.
