Not trying to be a jerk, but you have to keep in mind that 50$ for "a chance" at Doc is not nearly the same as 50$ for an actual Doc figure. You're not likely to get the same impulse buyers that are willing to shell out the cash to get something now/first. There is no instant gratification being sold here, and thus I don't think it's quite the bargain you think it is. With no figures being shipped until what, May is it, the market will not be set for some time.

[FreddyTV]

Thats your opinion. I believe that not everyone who sends out their Doc request will get a Doc. You have to send it out early to be guaranteed one. Supplies are limited according to Hasbro. I respect your opinion tho.

[Storm.Shadow]

That's exactly my point. Buyers will have a little seed of doubt in their mind, and wonder if they'll end up getting stuck with nothing. That's going to have an effect on their buying/bidding.

Good luck, I'm sure someone will buy it eventually.

[Tuga Viper]

i don't think that they will sell out that fast. with one person being able to get 4 Docs i'm pretty sure that Hasbro has made plenty to go around.

At that price I would rather buy the comic packs themselves, buy 2 more and your there. It doesn't sound like a deal to me at all.

[paulpratt]

Hasbro says that the supplies of everything they produce are limited. I sent out the POP forms for the George Lucas figure almost 6 months after the figure started shipping. I got one a few weeks later (PS- disappointment).

Same thing with the 30th anniversary coins (not six months, but not day 1 either).

Not that a GI Joe exclusive will have a huge run like a Star Wars exclusive, but GI Joe does not command the toy buying group that Star Wars does either.

Personally( <-- operative word), I think everyone is going a bit overboard on how fast Doc will go.

Mr. G didn't ask anyone's opinion on the pricing of his auction, so criticizing his pricing, and thus his decision (which can then be interpreted as a criticism of him) can only lead to upset feelings. if you don't think it is a good deal, don't buy it, but there is no need to debate him about it unless you are willing to apologize if it does sell.

Your right, Im not here to insult anyone, but I don't agree that if you post some thing here it is not open for criticism. More power to the guy I hope he sells it. Also I could careless how other people spend their money or how they collect.

[Compulsive Collector]

Your right, Im not here to insult anyone, but I don't agree that if you post some thing here it is not open for criticism. The site administrators have asked people not to do this in other members' "for sale" threads. It's been a while, and I think the thread where that specific request was made ended up being deleted, so it's not surprising that some wouldn't be aware of it.

Make total sense. Won't happen agin. Thanks for the heads up.

But a forum is a public place of discussion. If Mr. G doesn't want to be scrutinized although there is a limit, he shouldn't post at all. Moreover, I don't think that any of the subsequent postings by kilowatt and etc. are anywhere near out of line. My own personal opinion is that if I were to pay around $45, I'd like the actual figure, not a certificate.

I don't think they were out of line, but a back and forth debate about someone's pricing decision can only lead to upset feelings, that is all. and yes, you can be scrutinized for anything on a public forum, but the for sale section isn't really a discussion thread so much as it is just an advertisement, so nobody needs to be scrutinized for their sale decisions.

like I said, if it doesn't sell, then they lose the sale, but what purpose does scrutinizing someone serve because they feel what they have is worth a certain amount. I won't tell you what you r collection is worth and you should do the same. nobody should complain if I ask too much for an item because it doesn't effect them, unless they are willing to offer me more for an item if I ask too little for it.

case in point, I listed my custom MOC Manleh (http://www.loserville.us/~gunslingercbr/25thManleh.html) for sale for $50, and nobody bought it. had someone posted that they didn't think it was worth that much, I would have told them to take a hike, their opinion was irrelevant. nothing constructive could come from that. that was how much it was worth to me and I wasn't willing to sell it for less. that is why I listed it at that price. It didn't sell, so I kept it. but when I ask for a price, that is all I care about, not anyone's opinion on the matter. but I am not going to sell it for less just because someone else wants it for less if I have a value of the item that I am only willing to part with it at.

[QUOTE=Mr. G]Guys this is really a bargain...jump on it.

This is why I even responded in the first place. He said it was a bargin in a sales pitch way so I responded. It was just an after thought, not a rant.

[smokehouse]

If you can't sell it at that price but you may want to lower it a bit. You state in your auction that collecting 6 sets would run over $60 which is true...but that would get you 12 figs + 6 comics + 1 DOC...

Or for $45 you can get 1 DOC with your deal...

Me personally (and I may be speaking for the majority here), I'd rather drop the extra $20 and get all of that stuff compared to spending $45 for one fig.

Just some constructive criticism.

As Compulsive Collector once said, a forum is a place where collectors can benefit from the exchange of ideas and information. If someone said that the price is too high, then it's worth considering for other fellow collectors and the seller.


I won't tell you what you r collection is worth and you should do the same.


We're talking about a certificate okay, not a collection.


nobody should complain if I ask too much for an item because it doesn't effect them, unless they are willing to offer me more for an item if I ask too little for it.

Not to be rude, but you sound like an adult lecturing a kid, when we're all adults who are entitled to our own opinions. As you said, no one has been out of line yet, so why even whine about what people can or cannot say. In addition, when you say that nobody should complain unless the price is too low??? That's a bit one sided. If a seller wants to advertise a GI Joe item without any comments, he/she shouldn't do it in a public forum. He should buy an ad space at the GI Joe Club newsletter or something similar.

When HTS had the AFA Gold Destros for sale, everyone started complaining. Did that hurt Hasbro's feelings? No, because at the end of the day, it's all about business.

[Gulfster]

No thanks MR.G this doesn't sound like a good deal for me,but it may be for someone.Thanks for the offer and good luck.

[ShadoViper]

No, because at the end of the day, it's all about business.

The $49.99 was a good price point for someone because it got sold. Cha Ching!

Personally, i'd rather buy the comic packs and send it in myself but for someone who doesn't want the comic packs, it's not too bad of a deal. If they have battle points they'll still be able to send in for the additional DOC figures.

Oh and BTW - check it out there are more auctions up for the redemption certs. go figure!

[Compulsive Collector]

As Compulsive Collector once said, a forum is a place where collectors can benefit from the exchange of ideas and information. It absolutely is.

If a seller wants to advertise a GI Joe item without any comments, he/she shouldn't do it in a public forum. He should buy an ad space at the GI Joe Club newsletter or something similar. But the thing is, this is a privately owned and operated web site, and its administrators have specifically asked people not to call out other members on the prices in their "for sale" threads. Out of respect for the people who put in the effort to make this site what it is, we should all honor that request.
