Nice reading your reply! Yeah, you would definitely qualify as one of the people who are willing to sell for less. Scalpers can spot a person who is trying to sell tickets that aren't scalpers. Once they spot you, the next move is to convince you to sell them your tickets at the cheapest price possible. They're happy as long as your price leaves room for them to make a profit. What's really funny is if you would have tried to sell them your tickets for the prices that the scalpers were actually selling the tickets for. Man, I would have loved to see the look on their faces! :) Selling a ticket to a scalper where he can't make any money reselling your ticket is bad news for a scalper. Anyway, glad you shared that, man. Oh yeah, undercovers! They suck! I used to always ask myself that these guys should be doing other important stuff! I'm not hurting or stealing anything from anyone, I'm just trying to eat. Most of the time it's the promoter or singers, bands, groups, etc., who hire these undercovers to bust the scalpers because they feel that the scalpers hurt ticket sales. So the undercovers are there to harass you and discourage you from scalping tickets. I was told this directly from an undercover who I developed a friendship with.
