While there have always been scalpers, this didn't really get to be a problem until eBay, in my opinion. Last year (possibly the year before) while browsing through eBay's selling tips looking to unload some old ninja turtle toys I came across an article that absolutely disgusted me. It was about how to tell the hot toys for Christmas time and what to look for. It listed things like foil packaging, special edition, figures not listed on card backs, and anything female action figure and recommended people buy those first and throw them online. It even mentioned asking late night stock associates to get things for you as they don't normally pay attention to the items. I won't say I stopped using eBay altogether, but because of that article I've only resorted to them 2 or 3 times since, and only in times where I couldn't get buyers on online messageboards.
