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
