Term used by leftist and anti-landlord movement that equates landlordism with ticket scalping (buying up concert tickets and reselling them, which can be banned or illegal). The term intends to point out how many people are against people buying up tickets, but often don't think the same way about a far more important issue, the housing market.
Fifty new houses in the city have just been bought up by that shipping magnate. He's a total house scalper.

Get the Scalper mug.Related Words
Another word for recruiter; a form of subhuman primate who either stays unevolved and works for himself trying to find positions for companies too cheap to find their own employees, or becomes a bit more humanoid and goes to work for a corporation big enough to find their own employees. The most prominent characteristic of recruiters is their lack of truthfulness (how can you tell when a recruiter is lying; whenever the lips move).

Get the Scalper mug.(noun) (pronounced scale- PUR) (verb: to scalp)
1) A random person selling tickets to an event (sporting games, concerts, etc.) on the side of the road. Usually this person is normal and just trying to sell an extra ticket.
2) Inversely, a scalper is also the term used for a person who is trying to buy a ticket from someone on the side of the road. This person just showed up at the event, hoping that someone would be selling an extra ticket.
*When scalping, price negotiation is acceptable.
**Be aware that if you obtain/sell a ticket, the person who sold/bought the ticket from you will most likely be sitting next to you at the event (if the ticket has an assigned seat) because people typically buy tickets with the seats together. This will only happen if the person you bought/sold the ticket too will also be in attendance at the actual event.
