This guy's explanation sounds like the familiar line of a well known (maybe) LA area toy hunter/hoarder/reseller. I think many of us know who this might be.

^^ I sent him this email,
"It's a wonder why I can't find these at Ross. Thanks scalper. " His reply: JACK ASS!!! You do not have the $$$ like I have to buy ENTIRE LOTS. STOP WHINING like a CHILD. CRAWL BACK in your HOLE and HIDE FOOL!!! GOOD LUCK FINDING THEM !! HA HA HA !!! Lol, this guy ... *** Me: Dear sir, I found your post on the website Craigslist.org. I'd be interested in snagging a set of each from you. I noticed that in your post you wrote "Hard to find" and "long gone from shelves". Yet you took the picture in the store. And I'm not inclined to believe it's an old photo of when you found them two years ago. We all know that these things have been popping up in Ross, and Marshalls outlets recently. So, I'll give you 10 bucks for each (probably double what you paid). Or you can sit on them for three years when they really do become "HTF". Him: I do not need the money. Just funding a project. Yes, " long one from shelves and very hard to find" I have all SETS IN HAND. Take your CRAPPY $10 x 2 and keep it. No need for you offer. $55 each set.Try to see if you can locate them for $10 each. Ha Ha. Have a nice day. Me: You have all sets in hand. So I take it no one's been willing to shell out for your asking price. You seem like a decent enough dude. Probably thought he could buy some GI Joes and resell them to fund his DJ hobby. What kind of music you spin? Dubstep? Electronic? Techno? When I was an elementary school, this girl in my class had a cousin who would DJ all of our school dances and parties. It always pissed me off when he would play 80s sh*t like Depeche Mode, and Flock of Seagulls. It was like, "How am I supposed to freak this chick while some c*ck a** is whining about how he ran so far away." $20 or $10x2, as you put it, is not crappy. You can get a lot of stuff with that. You can get some fog fluid, which the previous mentioned DJ used the sh*t out of. You could get quite a few 5-pin male to 3-pin female XLR cables, or some speaker stand mounts, or a vinyl cleaning kit. What about some caster swivels? Isn't wheeling things around much better than carrying them? You spend so much time gyrating to the rhythm and getting the people pumped, you don't want to stop mid-gyration because of back spasms, do you? Him: Yeah, NO NEED for your CHEAP ASS $20. Well , just as an update. I sold 2 sets today VERY EASILY to REAL COLLECTORS !!! I will update accordingly. Take your $20 and "TRY" to find these Resolute Sets. Have a nice day. Me: Thank you for the update. I've grown quite intrigued in your investment. As I stated in my previous email, there are numerous items you can procure for $20. I'm not quite sure what you mean by "real collector". Shouldn't a "real collector" already have these sets? What you are doing is scalping, and you're taking advantage of people's naivete. It's unfortunate, but you have a seriously damaged moral compass. You drive a hard bargain. $30 then, or $15 x 2 if you prefer. *** No reply after that email. Hopefully he'll give me an "update".

You guys are too much
I'll tell you, reading that freak's replies points to only one culprit. They absolutely talk in the same tone and have the same crappy quality photos. I'm just waiting for him to reply "I got ten more all too big to fit in photo". If you don't know who this may be, you are better off, as his stank seems to infect all Toy forums and I can't stand seeing his posts. Classic Hoarder/Scalper Troll sandwich, not tasty. |
