Nash always was a good judge of character.

I know..its like he is looking at me through the computer screen!

It is illegal where scalpers don't pay INCOME TAX on the profits they make. If you want ILLEGAL, That's ILLEGAL. Scalpers are operating a business under the table, illegally, depriving the government of due taxes on profits derived. Tell me how you pay income tax on all of your scalping sales. It is WRONG because scalpers are buying things they don't really want, just to sell them to those who do, in order to make money illegally by selling things at an enormous profit, with no overhead, and then not paying taxes.
Scalpers who resell concert tickets are conducting an illegal business for the same reason. That is why ticket scalpers are often arrested selling tickets, are they not?

I'm not even starting the tax debate

By using your logic garage sales, sports card collectors, and artists are all doing things that are both illegal and wrong.

OH FINALLy, someone else that enjoys dolphin porn!

 

[galactiboy]

So how about that LSB

And the flipper debate really is a moot point... flippers flip because the buyers are there to pay extra. Even if you don't like it, its still going on and not much you can do except not buy into it.

Not my logic, the US Government's logic, I'm sure. People who scalp collectibles should be treated the same way as people who scalp concert tickets, period. You can't apply the same reasoning to artists, because they get paid in compensation for their LABOR, and not profit. How much is their labor really worth?

You obviously have NO IDEA what you are talking about. Laws regarding scalping of event tickets are different and vary from state to state. Majority of which DO NOT prohibit scalping of tickets, but they do prohibit the scalping of tickets within a certain area of where the event is being held. for example, it may be illegal to scalp the tickets within 1000ft of the event center, but it is NOT illegal to scalp for higher than face value.

From Nash's photo album.

Well I am a photographer, and your boyfriend was a paying customer so who am I to judge?

I was talking about the laws regarding taxation, and not scalping. I was also saying that any laws that apply to scalpers of concert tickets should also apply to scalpers of everything else. There are ticket agencies who charge more than box office prices, but those pay taxes.

You first said that since scalping tickets was illegal (a misconstrued generalization), that scalping collectibles should be no different.

Yeah, this was the Galactus LSB thread, or at least it was a couple hours ago.

Lol, all we know for sure is that you were so impressed by this image that you decided to save it. By, the way, my straightness is the standard by which all other straightness is judged. So no, I DON"T want to know where you got that picture, EVER.

It's like comparing an antique store to a garage sale... are garage sales illegal?

I'll be sure to stay at least 1000ft away from Sideshow's corporate office when I sell something.

I said this:
Scalpers who resell concert tickets are conducting an illegal business for the same reason. That is why ticket scalpers are often arrested selling tickets, are they not?

... I speculated that the reason scalpers are arrested is because they are avoiding paying taxes. I ASSUMED. I have heard that scalpers are arrested, and figured avoiding taxes is a reason.

I highly doubt any of this has to do with TAXES. if that were true, like jbinny said, garage sales would be illegal, and Ebay as a whole would be illegal. Even this forum is illegal.

Why should scalping be the only one to have to pay taxes on? Even if someone sold a statue for retail to another forum member, why wouldnt taxes have to apply to them either?

Your logic has holes, and we all see it but you.
