Now with something like G.I. Joe, it can be tough to get wholesale distribution. So picking up Joes would be tough and if you have a market for them, then what are you going to do?
Again, I don't agree with the practice. But I understand why they do it. Especially if its their livelihood.
I understand but still have zero sympathy. Even more so because they have made it their "livelihood". I mean, if you're gonna sell toys, cool....make an actual *taxable* frickin business out of it, where you buy from wholesalers. Buuuuuuuuuuuuut No, they would rather slice through retailers like the bottom feeders they are, snap up stuff because... hey, it's not like they got a job to be at, and then when the rest of us working stiffs can manage to be there...nothing. All so some douche can maximize his profit. at least greedy corps can say, "Hey, we buy it in bulk wholesale/manufacture it, and then ship it to your local, we deserve profit!", the scalper is just a parasite on an already bloated and corrupt system.
But enough of my rant. The time has come to talk of many things:Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--Of cabbages--and kings--And why the sea is boiling hot--And whether pigs have wings.
