But the comic packs are becoming the new peg warmers. You could easily find all of the comic packs in the 2 Targets I visit. They got plenty of them. |

| | is on a damn mission Join Date: Jan 2008 Location: THE E.L. Posts: 811 | AVAC those pics are worth a thousand words of frustration... kudos to you for not just coming on here and bitching, but to commiserate;
I feel y'all's pain for sure- for some reason Hasbro has recently "remembered" MI, so here's my question... We've got wave 6 & 7 here, and I'd be happy to send them to some members here at cost, but I don't know if anybody would be willing to pay that much... I'm thinking $7 (fig+tax), $5 shipping, $3 gas = $15. That's more than I would pay, but maybe that's just me...
If I'm off on the shipping or $15 is reasonable for you PM me and maybe I can help alleviate your empty-pegged misery.

last time i checked it usually only takes 1 gallon of gas to get to the store and u can buy multiples.
packing/shipping shouldn't take 5$ per figure... maybe 2$ if buying multiples...
and you would still make a ok profit
unless of course your intention was to sell them at 15$.. if so I would just go buy all the vipers and u will make 15 each w/ no problems. |

Shipping priority mail is $4.60 from Michigan to California, and first class mail is $2.32. So, $7 (a conservative price, since a figure plus tax at $6.84 is $7.25...) for the figure, $3 (minimum, keep in mind shipping materials for non-priority mail don't grow on trees, $.70 for shipping mats is reasonable, IMO) for shipping, and $4 gas is $14. You're going to balk about a buck, which basically amounts to wear and tear on his car and the time he took to find the figure? $15 for ONE figure, shipped, IMO, is more than reasonable... but hey, what do I know... |

When the figures were 4.88 I'd get the one I didn't want just to take one more off the peg. Now that they are 6.84 I'm not going to do that.
Sell more at a lower price or sell less at a higher price? How do you make more money? Never once did I see full pegs at 4.88 for more than a few hours.
