I don't want you to think the wrong thing about how I feel about what those people do. I don't say they're "only" doing it to stay in business. I say they are doing it to stay in business.
The way you phrase it makes it sound like I agree with their decisions. I don't. It's just the reality of how they are trying to stay in business. So, I should just shut up and put up, but why should I feel the scared of being banned for just discussing the prices people charge? Anyway, I'm not directing anything at you in specific Paul, that's just the phrase that comes to mind when I think about price hikes at "local" shops.

Nice, thanks Paul! Sorry if I get annoying at times, it's nothing personal. I don't let disagreements on things change my opinion of people. I know I'm a mouthy jerk though, I'm a "kid" after all. lol.

Sometimes it feels that way. "How much for a Brazilian Jujtsu?" "$500" "WHAT?! I can get that at so and sos for $50!". lol.

My GF kept harassing me about getting some "walking shoes" for the Renaissance Faire, so I decided to hit up a Ross. Beforehand, I tried convincing her that sneakers did not exist during the Renaissance and that if she was serious about the Faire, we would be walking in sandals. She was not amused.
Anyways, aside from the Nikes, this was my Haul for today: I know most people hated GL Movie and toys, but I use the GL Movie Masters to increase numbers of my GL Corps since whose to say Reynolds over there isn't some stunted weirdo alien GL. Also, I never saw either at the store and $4 is an ok price |

Yeah.. I know, I just don't think it's that cut and dry. I still can't get on board with that. Not when EE, Nerdragetoys, and Impulse Creations all have reasonable prices but Kokomo has crazy markups on anything that isn't a preorder. Why do they charge two different prices? I've seen them list ML preorders for $20 less per figure than what they list them on ebay. It's not just that though, it's when they post on facebook "They won't be online until the end of the month Rosario. They certainly won't be $50 like other people have them for on eBay, lol.", but ebay prices were like $45.. and theres are $35. I don't see a big difference honestly.
So, I should just shut up and put up, but why should I feel the scared of being banned for just discussing the prices people charge? Anyway, I'm not directing anything at you in specific Paul, that's just the phrase that comes to mind when I think about price hikes at "local" shops. My issue is don't offer presells and then sell the first cases you get at markup on eBay and tell those customers that ordered presells that their orders haven't come in yet. That bs they pulled with the first wave of ML was bush league. Yeah and touting that youve got the best price on eBay because it's $49.99 and not $50 is ridiculous.

I hear ya. I know everything's not always black and white, but I try to make sure I'm never straddling the fence, but taking a position while also understanding the reasons why someone may be on the other side....
