Hey there tankheads...
So many of you out there were fortunate enough to pick up a Yellow Stalker (or two, or three) along the course of your hunts... some in the wild... some on the bay... others by pure luck! That said... there are those of us out here that have yet to scoop one up. But as collectors go, I might have something that you need. As unfortunate as I've been scoring an MOC Yellow Stalker, I have had some luck on a few other elusive figs. Let's talk trade! My MOC Silver PDD + MOC Snake Eyes w/ Black Timber + 25th logo FLINT for your MOC Yellow Stalker. That sounds like a solid trade. The forum is open for your thoughts and comments. Tell us about your VARIANTS! Last edited by CaliBeachhead32; 02-26-2009 at 08:49 PM.. |

As much as I'd like a SE/Black Timber, my Yellow Stalker can't go...

Ditto with Silver PDD... but now that I have multiples, it's time to go after what I don't have. My untouchable is a first production run GOLD PDD, and the aforementioned Gung Ho anchor variant. I wouldn't part with a Y Stalker if it was my only one... but I know for a fact there are collectors out there with an extra or two... |

No offence but I don't think that is an even trade...the cheapest I ever saw a yellow stalker go for on ebay was 200 buck...I often see silver pdd and black timber go for as low as 40 bucks a peice.

If I had a yellow Stalker I would trade you straight up for that silver Pimp Daddy Destro. I hated the yellow Stalker so I left him on the pegs when I saw him along with the Snake Eyes and black Timber. One figure for one figure is an even trade in my book. Sorry I can't help you out though. Good luck.

an "even trade" is: you got what i want, i got what you want.
that's the bottom line. honestly, i wouldn't pay $8 for a Yellow Stalker if they were warming pegs like Wild Bill. the fig is hideous. a Silver PDD is PIMP! the fig is historic by nature. but the fact is that the Yellow Stalker is a variant... and thus sought after. the Gung Ho anchor variant is FAR more scarce than Stalker... but he's not as hyped up and trendy... so collectors ride the bandwagon and hold on to them hoping for a pay off... but the truth is, a collector will struggle getting rid of "what's hot" because they expect the fig to be the next 82 Snake Eyes! trust me... that's not happening. Stalker will make the rounds... and just like you scored on one, so will I. It's the merry go round of collecting. |

I look at it this way. If you paid the original release price of $4.99 for that ugly yellow Stalker and are receiving 2 figures in return which are $9.99 for the silver PPD and $4.99 for the Snake Eyes with black Timber, then in my book you just got a better deal. The only way you would be screwed in the deal is if you originally paid more for any of these figures involved.
Who cares what they are going for on ebay? Some people just can't afford the rediculous prices things go for on ebay. Other people just don't have a credit card or Paypal account to even use ebay. I for one am just too lazy to post an item on ebay, so I really don't care about how much I can make on a particular figure. I rather see it go to someone on here that will cherrish it.This is why there are places like this website where we can find fellow collectors who want to help each other out. I see nothing wrong with this trade. It is very fair in my book, but that is only my opinion. If someone thinks it's unfair, well that is their opinion and they are welcome to have it too. That's cool if someone feels that way, and they have every right to. They also have the option of not making those kinds of trades. Like I said before if I had a yellow Stalker I would trade it for the silver PDD alone in a second. Sure I know I could probably sell a yellow Stalker on ebay and make enough money to buy a few PDD's, but like I said I'm too lazy to do that and I could care less how much something is "worth". What something is "going for" on ebay should not label what something is actually "worth".

If I had 10 yellow stalkers laying around I would make this trade,hell I would trade one for a resolute duke,but if I only had 1 or 2 (which I believe most who actually own these has 1 or 2)I wouldn't. I totally understand the piece of plastic for a piece of plastic thing but to be realistic, most people are not going to go for that, I do wish you luck though,anything is possible,keep hope alive...I'm wondering if the lady who works in the office of my apartments,who drives a 745 bmw is willing to trade it for my kia rio, since she once told me she needs a smaller car...

I don't understand at all the whole "one peice of plastic for another peice of plastic" thing at all.
If one is rare and one is not, why shouldn't the rare one be worth more? Scoop, I understand where you're coming from to a degree, but when you're talking about "worth", eBay really is about the best gauge of what an item is worth in terms of cash. You have the widest possible audience, and in most cases the largest selection at the same time, with the price decided by the consumers. People have a right to decide for themselves how much they'll pay for an item, but I don't necessarily think they can decide "worth" individually. They might not feel like paying the cost, but saying everyone can decide their own worth is kinda like saying "truth is relative"... it's just not possible by definition. If the lady The Conflict mentioned wanted to trade her BMW for his Kia, we'd call her crazy or philanthropic - either way it would be understood by everyone that she "gave away" something of value for something of far less value. Why? Because the market says so, and whether we like it or not, or agree with it or not, the market determines "worth", at least monetarily.
