Why do we call "scalpers" scalpers?

Asked by Les (10005points) February 12th, 2009

So I know what scalping is. And I know what ticket resale is. See? I’ve done my Google homework, collective.
But why do we apply such a heinous act’s name to the act of reselling tickets at a grossly inflated price?
