Someone who purchases large quantities of goods (usually tickets) early with the sole intention of re-selling them at a higher price at a later date (closer to the event).
Seedy looking guys outside stadiums avoiding police and trying to sell tickets to baseball/football games which are about to start.

Dirtbags who use bots to buy up high demand products online and sell them at triple and quadruple the price.
That dirtbag scalper purchased all the ps5’s for $399 and $499, then listed them for sale at $1,900 and $2000!

Person1: Dude I can't buy a PS5
Person2: It's because of those fat-fucks scalpers we can't buy anything, even a video card that was supposed to be 299$

Despicable little fuckers that caused the 2021 graphics cards shortage.
They're the reason why we can't purchase a graphics card at a normal price.
Scalpers are literally the bane of everyone's existence.
