I've seen them list ML preorders for $20 less per figure than what they list them on ebay. It's not just that though, it's when they post on facebook "They won't be online until the end of the month Rosario. They certainly won't be $50 like other people have them for on eBay, lol.", but ebay prices were like $45.. and theres are $35. I don't see a big difference honestly.
So, I should just shut up and put up, but why should I feel the scared of being banned for just discussing the prices people charge?
Anyway, I'm not directing anything at you in specific Paul, that's just the phrase that comes to mind when I think about price hikes at "local" shops.
I hear ya dude, places like EE and BBTS have a HUGE catalog, inventory and customer base. Impulse orders limited quantity of cases of waves & rarely if ever restock and their main source of income are comics. (never heard of nerdrage, how long have they been in business, or will they be at that rate?)
My issue is don't offer presells and then sell the first cases you get at markup on eBay and tell those customers that ordered presells that their orders haven't come in yet. That bs they pulled with the first wave of ML was bush league.
Yeah and touting that youve got the best price on eBay because it's $49.99 and not $50 is ridiculous.
