Scalper - a person who purchases everything and resells it at a higher price. Often causing an artifical scarcity.
@diecasttvchannel
@diecasttvchannel 6 жыл бұрын
In my opinion a scalper is someone who knowingly buys as many items as possible with the primary intention of reselling them to maximize financial gain (profit). As opposed to a collector, who will buy only the minimum quantity they need (to fill gaps in the collection, for customizing, for gifting / trading with another collector). Naturally there will be times when a collector has a genuine spring clean and sells some castings they feel they no longer need - potentially turning a profit on items now considered rare - but this to me is part of normal collecting cycles and not scalping. Just my view..

I'm a college kid for context, but I will typically check out the stock of my stores and see if there's any overstock. If there is I'll buy a couple to resell typically leaving most of them, if I have blindbags I'll sell my duplicates and the like.

Mattel doesn’t help the situation at all either, with the way inventory is distributed and quantity. They should know which models are in high demand and produce more, and increase the number of supers. Or have a direct way to purchase specific cars.

Exactly, word for word my opinion also. Nearly all licenced models are snapped up very quickly. Mattel knows this very well but they keep supply numbers for each model close to their chest. This frustrates buyers who think they may miss out on a model, so when they see them on the pegs they just go nuts and grab everyone. This is not scalping...its a psychological response to Mattel’s awful supply and distribution.

Why doesn't Mattel just wait until the end of the year and make a Holiday run of all the most popular models of the year in a super version and charge the 5 or 7 dollar premium price? make them in large quantity and everybody gets an awesome car and the scalpers get nothing. Mattel would actually be keeping the money they usually give to the scalpers.

I'm not a scalper, but if I see a good car it's mine. I have the mentality that, "If I don't pick up this car, I might never get the chance again. Buying it is off the table because I know and have seen the same thing reselling for ridiculous prices." If there's a lot of what I want, I won't take it all. Maybe 2 is enough for me, but I leave the rest for the other fellow collectors. Sometimes right after I buy I see a kid get excited to find what he's looking for. It makes me happy knowing I helped out someone else. I don't want to resell, just keep and collect. :)

@@nissan300zxtwinturbo2, I see nothing wrong with that plus, it also depends on how many are available. For instance I had just enough money a little over a week ago to pick up some action figures that I felt like I could afford. The store had three that I was after. Three different characters. One of the ones I really liked was left and I was really impressed with it's appearance and happy that someone left one for another fan. Another nice one had just two copies left so, I got just one and decided to leave the other one for another fan. I will not go after the other one no matter how much I'd like to have another one to customize unless they either get more in or it stays there after about a month. That will give other fans an opportunity to have a crack at that one which is fair and considerate.

4 years on, and this video rings more true than ever, my guy! I'm in the UK, and the new Sierra caused absolute havoc over here. People would take as many as they could find, and resold it for about $30 on eBay once they got home. I was blessed to find two of them before the hype really started, so I've got one carded and one loose. I've seen about three more but left them all for other people, even though I could've made bank off them. It just kills a bit of your love for the hobby, knowing other people do it for money rather than desire to find the new cars. Not to mention that it only takes one scalper to poison the well for a pretty large area. People often say "well you're not in my area, so stop complaining", but here's a thought experiment; in the UK, most of us live close to other cities, so it's realistic that a scalper could hit 2-3 cities and all the major towns in between within a couple of hours, especially if they drive for work. That'd be about 20 stores, and every one of those stores suddenly becomes a no-go zone for any of the decent castings. Then other collectors have to go even further away to get their cars, and they might feel like taking 3, 4, even 5 of the car, since it took so much time and effort to find in the first place. Suddenly you've got a situation where everyone is taking too much and fewer collectors can find what they want without paying ridiculous money to get it online. Yes, they have a bit of FOMO and they need to stop feeding into scalping, but they wouldn't be doing that in the first place if they could find just one in the store. I do have hope, though. Most of these good castings fly off the shelves like hotcakes, but Mattel definitely takes notice of that. They'll obviously keep releasing new colours of popular casts as it makes them more money, so eventually everyone will get at least one casting of a car they love, even if it's not the original first casting. At least that's my somewhat optimistic take on it, lol

I agree with 5 being the limit before crossing over to hoarder land. I bought 5 matchbox charcoal escalades to use as security escorting my vips around. With my favorite castings, I'll buy 3. With 3, I keep 1 carded to display on my wall, 1 loose and clean in my collection and 1 loose to beat up on the track. 90% of the time, I'll buy 1 of each color of the castings I collect. I keep them loose and clean. If I mistakenly buy a duplicate, I give it to my kids or one of the neighborhood kids.

I got some comments from viewers on a video for buying 3 m2 super chase Datsun 510’s last month. Couple people said “you should’ve left 1 for another collector”. Dude, if I didn’t buy them, the next Collector will right? I bought them because I knew I was going to trade them for something else I don’t have. Did I scalp them? Some say yes, some say no. I like trading with other collectors so if I run into sought after Hot Wheels, I’m buying them.

RC Bulldog - i see you point. I don’t care about what if the next guy buys them all. But it was also fun how I went about trading this. Again like i said, I don’t collect 1/24 scales so the thought of seeing what I would get for trade was my main reason why I bought them. Shit man, that day I spent $70 on these things lol. I’ve never spent that much on diecast. I was bombarded with offers. I declined 5 Supers! But at the end, I think we all won. They got that nice super chase and i got some cool pieces in trade out of them. BTW, that m2 1/24 57 Chevy Bel Air Chase with them flames, oooof! Super Hot piece congrats on finding that.

I keep thinking about the idea of trading models with other people you mentioned. Couldnt it be your channel a way to communicate with other collectors and find the models we want? Imagine a monthly video were you help us advertise the models we are looking for and we would like to buy to the other subscribers for a fair price (or trade for another one, of course). 10K is a big community!

Of course this comments should be done as response to one particular video and featured on the next month one, as the Race Grooves host does on his weekend show: kzbin.info/www/bejne/poq8mpeFmq13nas Also a Twitter hashtag would do, but that wouldnt be as successful for sure.

But scalpers are at the same stores every day when the stores open, they take ALL the supers, and ALL the reg th, hurry home and immediately post up on ebay at a substantial profit.. leaving none for anyone else.

You explained the definition of scalper very well. In some case, some people will call you a scalper if you beat them to a super treasure hunt or any chase car in a store. If you buy 10 or 20 of the same car for customising or (like in my case) doing a police chase stop motion video, you are fine. But if your only intention is to grab every license car off the pegs to resell it at double, triple the price you are nothing but a jerk. The lamley group got exposed a few year ago because he sided with a scalper in las vegas in one of his topic.

I agree with a lot of the arguments you're presenting about scalping. Although it's all relative; some people would consider it's scalping if you buy more than one car, although that's not the general rule. I usually buy 3-4 from the castings i really like (from the cheaper brands like Hot Wheels mainly), but not all the time as it can get expensive. Buying 10-20 samples of the same casting, if you're not customizing them, *then* it's scalping (stage 4?) for me. It's all relative really. Nice Video.

Very true.. I really hate the idiots who have too raid the Zamacs at Wal-Mart.. like when the 510 Wagon Zamac was released they were raiding the cases like crazy. I don't think any of them ever reached the pegs.. so I had too beat them too the punch, which I ended up doing on a couple of occasions.. I will also hit the dump bins and grab a bunch of the more coveted castings and put them on the pegs, but I would put them closer too the back so at least some people can at least have a chance too grab some.. other than that there's not much you can do..

I have a shop in my local mall they have like a ton of 1990s to current castings and that’s where I get most of my hot wheels supplies there and I see some stage 2-3 scalpers and I sometimes see stage 4 scalpers there as well

The only car where I will take every single one I find is a Super TH and I keep them all and don't sell them (I don't find supers very often anyways). But when it comes to Basic THs, ZAMACs, Target Red Editions, any other store-exclusive paintjob cars like Toys R Us or Kmart, or any popular JDM casting, I'll take 3 at most and then leave the rest for other collectors. The only problem is I wonder if a scalper ends up taking the ones I left behind and not an actual collector. The only instance where I took every single example of a certain casting is when the Beatles Yellow Submarine casting came out and I literally only ever found them one time when the store had just been restocked and I took all 8 of them, and have not come across that casting since. With that you had not just the HW scalpers but also the Beatles collectors after them so that's a very hard casting to find.

I think what Mattel are doing is bringing out a popular casting like the Yellow Sub and the Homer, and the first time they put it in 1 mix only and not carry it over, they then wait a few months and bring it out again but keep on carrying it over so there is lots available, but because it was hard to get at first we all think it's still a tough one to get and grab them whenever we see them. I was looked the other day and I must have about 10 Yellow Subs and about the same of the pink Simpsons car, without even realising it, lol.

Hi Drifter, Sort of stumbled on your video of scalpers by accident. Understand totally what you are saying but I've bought tickets to sports events from scalpers where I've paid more than face value but the thing is, I did'nt have to go queue at 4am, 5am, whatever time to get those tickets in the first place. Same as Hotwheels cars maybe the scalper has travelled to many different stores spending hours searching for these cars he knows will make him money. Whilst I don't sort of condone scalping, on the other hand I'm happy to pay whatever it costs for something I so greatly desire. Whether it be sports or concert tickets, or hotwheels cars if I collected them. Cheers, liked your video.

I had that exact same Veyron when I was a kid. I got it all scratched and ruined so much the roof came off and I lost it. I didn't know it's a sought after casting by collectors today.
