An asshole who preorders/buys an item as soon as it's available and resells it at a higher price point than the item originally sold for. Usually is fat, lazy, or has no actual job.
Johnny: I went to Gamestop to get the new Destiny game and they were out of stock and I had to buy it from a scalper.
David: What an asshole, preying upon innocent people wanting to buy something that they find interesting.

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.

terrible pieces of scummy trash that jack up the price of a newly-released product by purchasing it and then selling on eBay for 5 times the price
person 1: damn, all the RTX 3070s are out of stock
person 2: yeah except for eBay, but now they're 1000 dollars. fuckin' scalpers.

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$
