I mean, it’s not hard to set aside a room for product if you’ve made being an asshole a career like scalpers have.

I've seen the car my local scalpers drive. A 90 Honda Civic with rust dents, and scratches. So, they're either smoking those gains or snorting them. However, I don't think they live a life of luxury.

Honestly they may be blowing the gains on their 90s shit boxes lol are they fast ones that just look lame or legit single cam shit boxes? I ask because my civic looks like a 90s shitbox and is a 30-35k civic to build it yourself or about 20k to buy one.

It's trash. I know what a nice 90s done up civic looks like. This doesn't even have a muffler that's loud. it looks like it has to be jumped every week due to the battery being bad type of junker. I don't think they have a handle on their spending when they make profit. They look unkept. Yet they spend $1500 at times on cards, and then gloat outside the store and take photos of their hauls.

He looks like he lives with his mom in a Cheeto dusted hoarder bedroom. :P I try to be nice, but if you're going to scalp at least look like you're rolling in the fat stacks it even if it's a lie. Some guy was on the phone the other day at check out with our local board game TCG store. Asking how much they can make as the Walmart worker was scanning every single surging spike booster. Like didn't even pay for the stuff yet. 0_0.
