scalper

Anyone who is ahead of you in a line for an in-store preorder or restock.

And/or, anyone who lines up earlier than what is deemed 'normal' or 'sensible'.

Anyone who is able to get their hands on a product that someone else might have struggled to acquire.

And/or anyone who takes away inventory for a product that should be going to an entitled group, ie: toys from children.

I got to Gamestop four hours before opening and there were 25 scalpers ahead of me lined up already!

These scalpers are taking everything I just wanted to get these cards for my unborn 2 mo child!

I was walking into the store and saw a older guy with no kids walking out with the last two boxes, what a scalper!

Scalper Bumping

A term used to describe the accidental displacement of unsavory characters from a trading card restock to prevent them from gobbling up boxes meant for the masses. A heroic move, derived from a form of vigilantism. Found mostly in the aisles of Targets and Wal-Marts

There was someone camping out and waiting for a Pokemon restock, once the vendor arrived, two of us started scalper bumping to make sure the kids waiting could be able to get some Pokemon cards
