What is a Scalper?
A scalper is someone who buys an in-demand item (such as miniatures) to resell it at a vastly inflated price. These scumbags make themselves an unwanted middleman in an attempt to make profit.
How does this relate to /tg/?
A number of 40k items have been "graced" by scalpers, causing much RAGE among fa/tg/uys. The Sisters of Battle boxset is the most infamous example.
What Do?
Practice self control and wait till you find the item you want at a reasonable price (usually after the demand dies down). The main reason scalpers exist is because fa/tg/uys (and some could argue tabletop gamers in general) often lack self-control and are blinded by hype for the latest release.
