These kinds of Toyman stories are really popular during the holiday season as social commentary. There is always a new toy that is sold out everywhere, frustrating parents to the delight of scalpers.

Yeah, that's the "American Spirit". There's a great story about a couple from NC who used to do research into what the hottest toy would be this season, rent a bunch of U-Hauls and empty every Toy'r'Us, Walmart, and Targets in north NC. They then rented a warehouse and sold it back to people at a premium. They were the reason Walmart inveted the "no more than 2 to a customer".
You call it scalping, they call it capitalism.
