Would you play with a known scalper?
Yes, I'd play games with them. Behavior outside the gaming room doesn't factor into it.
No, I would refuse. Scalpers should not feel welcome in the gaming community.

His conduct as a gamer is really all I care about. Someone bragging about scalping might be more likely to be a jerk player, but if that wasn't the case, I'd play against him. I don't care at all whether or not he buys up product to sell back later at a higher price. I can't imagine he makes much money doing that...

I play...

I have no problem ostracising people who engage in extreme behavior that is deleterious to a civil society, but scalping seems kinda... not quite rising to that bar?

As someone who is always on the wrong side of product shortages, it really begins and ends with the manufacturer, especially when the "shortage" is totally, wholly artificial. If you can't get a limited run mini for less than $100, maybe blame Games Workshop for artificially limiting the run so small. Otherwise. as someone else already mentioned, make sure you never give a game to anyone who ever bought a limited run mini for over MSRP, since they are equally to blame.

Not true. You ever seen goldfishblue on ebay? He combs the auctions and other places for limited edition and out of production warhammer. Grabs it low, buys it for an insane markup and sits on it until he gets it. We're talking fifty quid or the like for a Tallarn Heavy weapons team. Ridiculously over-priced. He's a scalper, by any reasonable definition.

I could sit around and fume until steam comes out my ears, because his habits stop me being able to pick up that kind of stuff at a lower price on ebay (he buys up what becomes available, after all, and bids on even what he doesn't win). But whilst I'll freely admit it irritates the hell out of me seeing stuff at that kind of price and knowing he's probably driving up prices all over the shop; I don't think he's a bad person for it. He's just a bloke trying to turn a buck and make a living.


If he wants to make a living there's this thing called "work".

Would you play with a jaywalker?

What if I worked at a fast food place that served really unhealthy food, like McDonalds?

I'm still not sure we even really got a great definition of what a scalper even is. When Tariana Palos was announced for preorder, I ordered 2 ($35 each), kept one, and sold the other one on ebay for $75 when they finally released 6 months later. The prevailing cost was around $100. Am I a scalper? It's the only mini I've ever flipped in that fashion, do I deserve to never get a game again?

What about the person who bought the mini for $75?


What about the Games Workshop employees that decided they are only going to produce 500 minis when they know that many thousands of players worldwide would surely desire them, and buy them at MSRP? They already have the molds, they could turn out a few thousand more for 5 cents a shot, but they would prefer to create artificial scarcity... that they don't even profit from. Do they have clean hands?

Does the person who bought the mini for $75 have absolutely no agency? I never bought a plastic mini at gunpoint before.

The prevailing cost of the mini was $100, as I said. Do you think getting it for $25 less than the other auctions made them feel victimized?

They have agency to
1) not buy the model
2) buy the model at 75$
3) buy the model at 100$.

Their choice to
4) buy the model at 35$

was taken away by somebody who shall not be named.
I'm sure paying 40$ more than MSRP probably made the buyer feel a little bit victimized, unless they were planning on selling it for 100$ anyways. Wow, it's kinda strange how when you frame it from your perspective, it seems like a positive thing, but any other perspective it isn't so positive!

Would you like to be praised as a saint for having scalped less than the other scalpers? Or having only done it once?

I agree that scalping isn't a black and white issue, you're not instantly declared ex-communicae traitoris.

But at the same time, scalping isn't black and white. Falling short of the other scalpers doesn't mean I don't hate the practice of buying up multiple highly limited miniatures for the specific purpose of immediately flipping them at above RRP.

Is the someone who shall not be named:

Don't invent something no one suggested. However, the flip side very much does exist: there are people in this thread clearly and unambiguously saying I should never get a game again for my sin. In fact, it's the entire premise of the thread.

What if... nobody has "clean" hands (whatever metric we want to use for that)? However, the person taking advantage of the facts of point 2 to fleece the person in point 1 generally seems like the dirtiest hands there.

I've never seen anyone praising GW's forced FOMO marketing, in fact I see it disparaged every time it crops up.

Similarly "I'm not the only guilty party" or "I'm not the worst one" is not a defence.

I have never, ever, once seen a millennial or zoomer express any opinion even close to either of those things, and if anything the Gen X sentiment has grown less favorable to corporations as generations move on.

If a corporation creates false scarcity to manipulate people with FOMO, that's just a corporation being a corporation, and that's the reality we have to live in. When an individual decides to add an extra layer to that, driving further false scarcity for personal gain... that's an individual making a choice.

Pretty disingenuous question, given that reading this thread shows the answer pretty readily. It's very clear some people in here believe it to be the deepest depth of immorality, explicitly stated in some cases you deserve daily Very Nasty Things to happen to you for daring to do such a thing. I'm surprised some of you can even read the thread from the top of that incredibly tall horse. I mean, you're going so far as to say Ouze abused someone for doing this once.

I don't plan to answer any other bad faith questions, so I may not be able to engage this thread further.

Why do you feel like I'm saying any of those things when I haven't? I haven't said anybody deserves Very Nasty Things or even that anybody is evil. Just that the abuser has less moral standing than the abusee. I was shocked that anybody would try to portray the person who bought from them as somehow on the same moral standing.
What exactly would you call charging somebody 40$ more than the evil multi-billion dollar corporation decided a product was worth, for the crime of not buying it during the slim window of availability? Which could be for any number of reasons (ignorance, not having available money to spend on it, wanting to sell it for 100$, and more). It's certainly taking advantage of them, to some extent. Unless, of course, they're buying it to re-sell at the higher price. I could call it something else, but I'm not certain of the correct word. It's an abuse of the scalper's ability to buy the product. Perhaps I should just refer to the "abusee" as a victim?
Does performing abuse once make it not abuse? If I spout verbal abuse at somebody, but only do it once, is it not actually verbal abuse? I'm not sure what you're trying to say.

Very curious about what words you're going to put into my mouth next, at least! Maybe you'll have me go into more details about the Very Nasty Things I apparently wish to happen to people?

Obviously not. Obviously, there are degrees to any bad thing, however it is a fact of how humans work that the closer something is to us, the closer it is to affecting us, the more we are going to care about it.

If your friend takes something worth 10$ from a store without paying for it, the magnitude of what was taken is 10$. however, context matters

-did he accidentally take something from a grocery store, not notice, and then once in the parking lot express that he just didnt feel like going through the hassle of going back in and paying for it?

In this context, you've got a large corporation being affected that you don't personally have any stake in, and the thing that happened was at least initially unintentional.

-did he take something from a person you don't know, but purposefully, like taking a 10$ bill that was hanging out of someone's pocket, or watch someone drop a 10$ bill and he picked it up and didn't tell them about it?

In this context you've got an individual person, but a stranger, and the thing that happened was wholly intentional.

-did he take something from someone you do know, like walking out of your local game shop with 10$ of paint in his pocket and you know the local shop owner personally?

The value of the interaction is the same, but the proximity to the thing affecting you and your life personally adds moral value to the infraction in your eyes. This is hypocrisy, but it is essentially a near universal human condition. You will care more morally about an object of the same value stolen from a stranger and stolen from your grandma.

Everyone has a particular, personal line where they consider the actions of another person to be morally reprehensible enough to stop willingly interact with them, and it's clear from the thread that most people consider scalping to be, at least somewhat, a way of taking additional money from someone that they wouldn't ordinarily spend, in the same way that someone might consider any kind of transaction where you know you're being gouged due to the unavailability of the thing you're looking to buy a "Semi-Theft".

You know when you go to a convention center that they aren't *technically* stealing from you by charging 25$ for a hot dog, but you definitely know that it is, in some way, a bs transaction. Everyone's got a moral line where the price of a bottle of water at a convention center goes from "Ok, i get it, this is a way they have to cover the cost of the venue..." to "alright this is crap, you can't charge this." The question, as it is with almost every one of these conversations, is where the line is. Getting indignant and being like "OH, so if ONE TIME i buy two of a model and i sell that model for ONE DOLLAR more than MSRP I'm an evil person the same as hitler and I deserve to be hanged???" is just....obviously not, dude. Obviously there's a line, and you've obviously placed an example well behind that line as a hyperbolic argument.

"Got you, Yugi! Your Rubric Marines can't fall back because I have declared the tertiary kaptaris ka'tah stance two, after the secondary dacatarai ka'tah last turn!"

"So you think, Kaiba! I declared my Thousand Sons the cult of Duplicity, which means all my psykers have access to the Sorcerous Facade power! Furthermore I will spend 8 Cabal Points to invoke Cabbalistic Focus, causing the rubrics to appear behind your custodes! The Vengeance for the Wronged and Sorcerous Fullisade stratagems along with the Malefic Maelstrom infernal pact evoked earlier in the command phase allows me to double their firepower, letting me wound on 2s and 3s!"

"you think it is you who has gotten me, yugi, but it is I who have gotten you! I declare the ever-vigilant stratagem to attack your rubrics with my custodes' ranged weapons, which with the new codex are now DAMAGE 2!!"

"...which leads you straight into my trap, Kaiba, you see I now declare the stratagem Implacable Automata, reducing all damage from your attacks by 1 and triggering my All is Dust special rule!"

Don't make up an argument. No one is claiming I am hitler and deserve to be hanged. However, people are actually arguing that people who sell models for over MSRP deserve to never get a game again; in fact it is the premise of the thread.

I get we all have our own moral compass of course; for me clearly I am OK with charging above MSRP for a model, but my personal line at skullduggery ends at (hypothetically) claiming you need a liter and a half of resin to 3D print 10 orks. We all sin in our own ways, I guess

It was indeed well put, but I disagree with the equivalency of the example at the end. Buying a hot dog at a convention center (especially if you're not allowed outside food) is a very different situation than choosing to spend twice as much on a luxury item. People need to eat- that model isn't a requirement, but it certainly is cool.

And don't act like I'm the only one getting hyperbolic in here, I'm reacting to hyperbole as well.

@Rihgu

"the crime of not buying it during the slim window of availability"

"[comparing this to verbal abuse]"

"Maybe you'll have me go into more details about the Very Nasty Things I apparently wish to happen to people?" This type of question is always dumb. Imagine accusing someone of putting words in your mouth by putting words in their mouth. You say I put words in your mouth but ignore that I was very obviously referring in this part to another poster's comments about cats gaking in shoes or some such thing. My statement was "It's very clear some people in here believe it to be the deepest depth of immorality, explicitly stated in some cases you deserve daily Very Nasty Things to happen to you for daring to do such a thing." We want to get pedantic? I never said you were the one that said that.

"Perhaps I should just refer to the "abusee" as a victim?" Perhaps you shouldn't see these people as victims when they are not being coerced or forced into anything. Or even actually abused.
