Exactly.
And honestly, people hunting these down at retail and listing them on eBay are providing a service. Not everyone has time to go from store to store every single day in an effort to find them, so the eBay sellers are saving them time and hassle. Like it or not, that time is valuable and worth the premium for some collectors. I often buy stuff online, simply because I don't have time to go searching every day. Is it fair that some people have more money to spend on toys? It's certainly just as fair as some people having time to make seven trips a week to Target and Wal-Mart.
The idea that people shouldn't buy collectibles and resell them on the secondary market is a construct of selective socialism. If people can profit from basic necessities like food and clothing, then they should certainly be able to profit from action figures collected by adults.
