Anyway, a scalper in this sense is really only focussed on a small group of people who are willing to spend more. if 1000 people are willing to buy a thing for $200 but of them about 100 eager buyers would have bought it at $400 then a scalper, knowing this, can buy lots of things at $200 and sell …

Accomplishments in games aren't real. Yes, I may have 100%'d Dark Souls, but does that really matter?
