No no no! sorry, I didn't mean to make anyone feel like a jerk. He and I have had discussions about scalping before, quite recently in fact. He's a member on a toy forum, he knows how people feel about scalpers, and for the most part, he's a fairly polite one, he doesn't always take everything from a store. He's by no means the worst example of the scalper archetype.
But exclusives are a big part of how he pays for his trip to SDCC. Curiously, the stuff that gets him the biggest gains are the freebies. Some people pay hella stupid money for things like free posters and crap. He made off like a bandit a couple years ago with free Twilight posters, people were paying $70 for those things!
When DC Direct did those ridiculous rainbow Hal Jordan figures, he tried to get them for me (and extras to sell). He spent hours in line trying to get those stupid things, and he never did. It was a huge waste of his time. Since then I've cut back on how much I ask him to get for me. The DCUC exclusives of past years have often been a pain for him (and I didn't offer to pay more than than the sticker price until this year) I'm hoping to get the Bruticus, but Hasbro lines are sometimes quite bad too.
Anyway, I really didn't mean to make you feel bad for call him a scalper, I've called him that, and worse, before too, and we still hang out every week.
