collectors are their own worst enemy. I'm not stating that as an attack, its just that we make it worse on ourselves. we find something that we know is popular and we buy them all because we know that there will be a time when we can't find something, and others will and want market value for those, so it provides us with trade bait that allows us to swap market values at retail prices.
that's why there is nothing to complain about. it all evens out in the end for the most part. |

Just for the record, as of now, just the loose Beam Emitter is going for $22 and change on Ebay. Just an example of how it's collector demand that drives up the price. No, this is not my auction.

I appreciate your input and did not intend to start a "scalper thread". I was just venting a little, you know. We are all human here and sometimes certain things slap you in the face and you say "Hey wait a minute!". Thats all, just a Diva moment if you will.
I will watch what I say next time I guess. -R I wasn't attacking you MMD. I just know how these discussions go. I feel your pain. I have actually traded for any that I have and gave up a little extra but did not mind. If it didn't seem ok I would have told them or just ignored it, and I have. Just keep an eye out and good things will come. Once you mention "helping a fellow collector" you'll always get told nobody has to. I know I have been told a few times. It's all how someone wants to deal. I have been happy with all of my dealings. They have helped me meet some cool cats. Some cats may not be working too and see an opportunity to make a buck also. It's all situational. Others might be trying to get more so they can feed their hobby. What someone asks just lets you know if it is worth your time to deal with or not and can let you know what type of character you are dealing with. These are dropping in price on the secondary market so just keep an eye out and use that as a reference. I've seen some auctions not get bid on starting at $39.99 but some go for higher starting at .99. No more than $50 lately though. EDIT: Gunslinger hit it dead on too. We are what make the price. |
