as opposed to supplying something you don't want? how would it be scalping if you don't want to buy it but not scalping if you do? scalping inherently depends on someone wanting the item.
I don't care whether someone scalps, but you can generally identify the lack of intelligence of someone who depends on racing around to find toys to keep others from being able to find them simply to sell it to them themselves, and then in turn not grasp that such behavior is defined by the term scalping. it is that lack of intelligence, which leads to the dishonesty, that I find annoying, not the selling for more. |

so has anyone actually seen an Iron Patriot Variant in the wild? I've only seen them on E-Bay, and they're not too expensive- but i've never seen one in a store on a peg. I got lucky and found and MU Havok variant at Toys R Us, but that was only because I had the day off and got to the store shortly after opening...

Iron Patriot Variants are chew toys for the fifty-two dogs I rescued from the pound. Each dog goes through several a day.

Fight fight fight!
And when the hell was the last time anyone saw a Best of the 80's and Greatest Battles set on the shelf at TRU, Target, or Walmart? Those must have collected a lot of dust sitting there in unslod scalper inventory pile. DOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCHHHHHE!!!! Sorry all, I just have no respect for scalpers. Anyhow. So anyone out there willing to trade an MU Kitty Pride for either an MU Black Widow or Ms Marvel (I have one of each and they MOC)? OOH, I do have both versions of Ms. Marvel(modern and classic). Black Widow. Multiples of each figure. Happy searching guy. |

These posts are funny. Every time I post sightings from different stores(Trus, Targets, Walmarts) there are complainers and whiners. These guys are pissed because they DO NOT HAVE items. I DO NOT RESPECT complainers and whiners.
OOH, I do have both versions of Ms. Marvel(modern and classic). Black Widow. Multiples of each figure. Happy searching guy. Anyhow, why pretend you're not a scalper? Why the fake posting about how you left figures at TRU, Target, and Walmart in SoCal because you "have more than enough?" Just admit it you're a scalper, offer your stuff for sale and that's it. I'm just glad I'm not like you, that's all. My career doesn't require me to scalp toys for extra money assuming you're even profitable after all that time and expense put into it. Scalping is pathetic enough but the fact that you put up these fake postings on forums is even more pathetic. You can have the last word now, I'm not responding any longer. Enjoy.

And to fordjuse: I don't give a crap that you try to peddle your wares. Just don't do it here. I don't give a damn if you've got all that I'm looking for because I know you'll gouge me on something that I should be able to find at retail. But that's not my issue with you. Mine is that you blatantly (and on numerous occasions) advertise on a forum that isn't designed for that. You want to advertise, that's the G.I. Joe Buy Sell Trade is for. This forum is is for reporting finds in the wild, not for the peddling of your wares. In this you are in violation of the TOU and shall be reported.

ok let me clear a few things up real quick in here. First off anybody can buy anything they want if they find it and do what they wish with it. In other words if somebody buys everything in the area and sells it for 10x higher than retail it is on them. The best way to deal with them is to not buy from them and let them get stuck with the product. Do I think it is a scumbag move? Yes, but then again that would be how some people make their living.
On the other hand this is not a BST thread so if somebody is in here trying to push all the stuff they have on other members then they need to take it to a BST thread. Regardless the fighting/name calling/bickering ends. |
