Finnally, I happend to find some new joes that were listed as out of stock at HTS.com.
I hit up Wal-mart at about 5am this mourning and found a Cobra C.L.A.W./Cobra F.A.N.G. pack, GI Joe Resolute Cobra Commander, GI Joe Resolute Cobra Trooper, GI Joe Resolute Duke, Blowtorch, Drednock Torch, 2 Cobra Eeels, another version of Firefly, Gung-Ho/Deep-Six comic pack, Cobra Viper/Iron Grenider comic pack, Rock & Roll/Battle Armor Cobra Commander comic pack, Snake Eyes/Hard Master comic pack, and Beach-Head/Data Frame comic pack. So I say to myself it's about damn time I find something for myself and I will make this hunt my christmas present for the year. I think now I better start making this a habit in order to beat the scalpers hit the stores early. Because now its like were competing w/ not only local scalpers but now cyber scalpers. Cyber scalpers are the new breed of scalpers that hit-up websites that sell joes like HTS.com. They camp out in front of there laptop computers and never sleep, always up w/ there Mastercard in hand and always ready to place an order while us collectors are asleep. And then when the collector is trying to get what he wants from HTS.com its listed as OUT OF STOCK. I just hope all Scalpers die and Burn in HELL for the things that they do and put collectors through. Last edited by lldjslim; 12-14-2008 at 03:33 PM.. |

Either beat the fat and bald scalpers at the crack of dawn or during stocking hours.

How are you sure that you are not being beaten by local collectors?

Exactly.
Just because someone buys the extras it isn't because they are selling them. When I usually see new figures on the pegs, I buy them ALL. Someone I know needs those figures too. Hell, it might even be someone on here that I pick them up for. Not only that, even if I were to leave them for other "collectors", the so called "scalper" that comes in after me is going to buy them. It's lose - lose. That's why I buy all I see. It's to make sure that other collector's ARE getting them.

Would you like to know the worst offenders? It's the soda vendor delivery people. Here in Lansing, the Coke and Pepsi delivery/salesmen are collector/ebay sellers. I know the guys that do it here because of mutual collecting interests and from seeing them at shows. They usually call and brag about their scores. I'm willing to bet that it happens in your stores too.

Here in hell (florida) its either they beat everyone else out of the items, or they totally forget that their collectors and RARE items just sit there for a few weeks. Weird floridians

Then it's safe to say that hardcore collectors, casual collectors, fans in general, kids, and scalpers are ALL competing with one another?
