Because man, I sure am!
I just need ONE set of each of the six figures. Six figures total. But, this shitbag is going to make it difficult obtaining these in central Iowa:
rock lord 74 | eBay
That's FIVE sets he's currenty sellng. He's from Altoona. It's fair to assume he got these all Wednesday.
He already sold one set Wednesday, which he presumably found Tuesday:
2012 GI JOE Dollar General Set Of 6 Figures NEW MOMC lot 1 | eBay
And then assume he's keeping one set for himself, so that's SEVEN sets he's hoarded. SEVEN stores cleaned out. That's most of the central Iowa stores that he's nailed.
And it's also fair to assume that he's not done yet. Any more stores that he hasn't scored these at, he'll return to soon and hoard them to scalp, too.
To think that I was worried about other collectors in this forum having loose lips with the employees at Dollar General, tipping them off about these so they'd either buy them themselves (like the loser manager at the Merle Hay store, apparently, and you KNOW he had no idea these were coming in or even existed until, reportedly, FIVE -or more- people started bugging him about them) or start playing games with them/playing dumb/playing games with them, as other posters have reported in other forums on here. I guess I didn't think I'd have to then also contend with some loooooooooooooooooooser, like eBay's rock_lord_74, going from store to store, EVERY DAY, hounding the employees and buying them ALL. I just want ONE set. Sure, they may and probably will restock, but when? What a pain.
I do hope that rock_lord_74 puts his oh, $100 or so profit (after gas driving all over creation, eBay and PayPal fees, etc) to good use, like buying himself some Transformers, though. LOL
Chode.
