ToyFarce News: Scalpers Hiring People To Queue At Comic Con To Get Exclusive Items?!

The San Diego Comic Con, the biggest comic convention of all, is just a few days away, and with it comes its usual fair share of scalping opportunities, as we can always trust the scalpers to put the 'con' in 'comic-con'. This year, scalpers have decided to work remotely, as they will hire people to go to the comic con and queue in their place!

An undercover agent working at the S.C.A.L.P. industry sent ToyFarce a job listing, which reads as follows:

"Do you like queueing for hours? Would you like to make money for it? The S.C.A.L.P. industry has an opportunity for you!

After 2,5 years of working from home and cancelled events, we are unfortunately no longer in Comic Con shape, so we have decided to send anyone who applies to this ad in order to get those exclusives for us!

The job: You will be required to wait in line in order to acquire all the hot SDCC exclusive items. Bonus points if you cosplay, as you will be able to queue for the items a second time (with and without costume).

Your experience: No knowledge about toys required. Actually, the less you know about the value of those items, the better! Not having an ebay account is a plus, since you cannot check the listings and prices while you are queueing.

Are you interested? Apply now!
"


We can see that as a step up, since they would usually send family members to do that instead. This year, Aunt Marge can have a rest.

More news at 11:00... Typical... They don't mention any salary range.

Yeah...not so farcical really

Note: I had to look up farcical to make sure it was a real word I had heard/read somewhere and not picked up from Simpsons/Futurama or something. Seems to be a perfectly cromulent word

Lol.
