Guys, maybe he just made a mistake and you get 7 of the comic packs for $74.99!

i was referrring to a few (they know who they are) who claim "holier than thou" collecting practices and the other s who bash someone for making a few extra bucks l;abeling it "sclaping" when in reality it's "capitalism". if you don't like it, move out of the U.S.A., that's how we do over here.
someone post that smiley that is beating the dead horse, it's this subject all over again. you people just don't get it. if you bought something, and you want to sell it, someone wants to give you double, or you know you can get double, you going to say "no, i'm a true honest person who will not profit from anything"??? I THINK NOT....or does these rules only apply to "G.I. JOE" toys???? said by many smart people here hundreds of times.."you don't like it, DON'T BUY IT" Last edited by OUTBACK; 02-08-2008 at 03:06 PM.. |

He bought probably all of the stock of Wave 3 CP's that store had and then put them on eBay at almost twice the retail cost. Then came here and pimped them. Basically he said, I removed any chance of you finding them right now (or for a while the way some stores are), but you can buy them from me double what you could have paid. That to me is a total slap in the face. Last edited by WildWeasel; 02-08-2008 at 03:22 PM.. |

I agree again. I thought this forum was supposed to be like a family. A group of people who help each other not try to take advantage of the situation. I see what Outback is trying to say but i still think it is wrong to try and exploit new items on ebay for more than double what they are worth... |

How is this any different from putting it on E-Bay for 99 cents? If it's an item with high demand it will sell for $74! or more! Are you going to complain then when it hit's that number when 5 bids push it up that high? It's called supply and demand. I am like you, I would like a fair and balanced world where people feel for you if you don't have enough cash for that collectable you want and offer it at a "kind" price. But this is the Human race my friend. It's a world full of "me me me!" and "gimmie gimmie gimmie".. Sucks I know. Wanna join Cobra? hehe If I knew I could make $$$ off of a fine quality coffee bean, I'm gonna contact the people who "know" and then offer it to them first for the price I feel I can get for it due to the fact I was lucky/smart enough to get ahold of this item. Coffee beans,Joe figures, Cancer medications... If you know people want a certain want it, you go to where those people congregate and present it for purchase. =CobraCoffee Oh, I wanted to add in also, I have seen so many people "Overprice" stuff from Joes to Video cards to anything... I laugh at it. I know they went to all the trouble of waiting for 6-10 days to have no one bid. It's a learning process. Once they realize they are over pricing, they will come back to reality. But... BUT! If 1 person pays them that much for it, well then we all start looking at the price we offered ours at on Ebay don't we? Last edited by CobraCoffee; 02-08-2008 at 03:29 PM.. |
