I would give the $20 offer a chance to go higher though. But, I wouldn't sit and wait if I told someone already I'd sell it for $20 then take my word back and sell it to someone else for $100.

Compulsive i hear you, but most people think it's "ugly" and the green one is much "better or closer to the original", yet they STILL want it?
let's be real for a second. |

let's be real for a second. I have no shortage of STAR WARS figures I don't necessarily like, but they help complete a line. |

"Now, if I got, say two offers, one for $20 and one for $100 within a certain time, I would, yes go with the higher amount, who wouldn't?" - Commander
I understand your point Commander. If there IS anyone that has a double or triple of the yellow Stalker and is willing to sell it for $20 that's fine. It never hurts to ask. I'm a completionist, so if there are any variants I try and get them. I don't always, but I do try. I wish I had a rare figure to trade but I don't. I'm going out after work, maybe I'll find a yellow stalker or something I can trade for him.

I will say that the Commander was on to something on one of his posts. But my source is very real and credible. My advice is to Nemesis Enforcer who's looking for a Yellow Stalker. Think of the yellow as a running change/not variant. Believing is a choice.

If I find one, I'll sell him to you (Nemesis Enforcer) for cost. I have a reputation to uphold within the community. You guys would string me up if I bought a yellow Stalker and sold him on eBay. Most would say "who cares?" but I'm one of the good guys. FYI, the two figures my wife bought for me are not part of the "I'll help you get the figures" deal because they were a gift. She'll only let me trade the gifted Joes. But the ones I buy, if I find any!!! GRRRR!!! haven't yet, I'll still make that offer, cost+shipping.

I to am a completist...yes it is both frustrating and expensive. :(
I too am seeking a "yellow" Stalker, and just like you i will only pay up to $20.00 I believe if we just have a little patience the price will become more reasonable and we will both be able to recieve this figure at a more reasonable price than what it is currently going for on Ebay and other selling sites. Good Luck to you Nemesis Enforcer and if happen to come across an extra in my dealings I will be sure hold it for you for retail plus actual shipping costs!!!

Okay seriously guys, all this conjecture is making my head spin!! If you want to see how rare the item is take a look on Evil-bay. Everyone who's got one of these is plopping it on there to see what they can get for it. If there were a ton of them out there, they would be on the market. Also look at how many loose ones are up for auction? Usually it's 2-3 max at a time and they are still going for $40 and up.
As for this "scalper" witch-hunt that's going on, everyone needs to man-up and stop pretending to be Dudley Do-Right about the whole thing. Saying you'd sell something for $20 when you could get $100 for (to a complete stranger no less) is a borderline psychosis. If your neighbor came up and said they'd give you $500 for your $10 plastic lawn chairs because they are super rare and they just have to have them, would you so no??? I thought not. I'm not out to rip anyone off but if I can make extra $ because I have what someone else really wants than there is absolutely nothing wrong with that! That is Capitalism. It's part of what makes this country great. It can also lead to "scalpers" like the guy I caught at Target, bending the cards to ruin their value! That's Capitalism, you take the good with the bad, man. We cannot cure the world of this by getting flustered on a message board. |

That's Capitalism, you take the good with the bad, man. We cannot cure the world of this by getting flustered on a message board. I think the reason people get flustered is because, regardless of whether "you" like it or not, we're all part of a larger community. Kinda like a large circle of friends. People take it personal when they think their friends are ripping them off. I would disagree with one statement you made: "Saying you'd sell something for $20 when you could get $100 for (to a complete stranger no less) is a borderline psychosis." Why so? Isn't hooking someone up who otherwise wouldn't have an item worth it? Sorry, Fridge, but I want to use one of our transactions as an example: I don't know Fridge from a hole in the wall, he doesn't know me from Moses. I posted my needs: Color Change Zartan, Green Stalker. My offering? Silver Head PDD on card. My asking price for the figure - $15. What I paid for it. Sure, I coulda turned around and took a monetary offer from another member, then bought the figures from Fridge. Know what though? I wouldn't feel right doing so. That's just me though. To each their own. You said it best here: "That is Capitalism." Unfortunately, my friends, that's what it all comes down to. Money. Some of us are completists, some of us aren't. Those of us that want that variant figure, because otherwise, to us, our collections will feel like they're missing something. Giving something to someone at cost is a hook up. I actually received 2 pm's when I posted that I had found 5 Cobra Legions sets. Someone who will remained unnamed (you know who you are, feel free to post ;) ), actually called me a liar when I stated that I bought the sets for other people, and was only keeping one for myself. Sorry....let me get back on track: A decent price for a Yellow Stalker is anything that the buyer is willing to offer...be it $20, or be it $100. It's what the prospective buyer is willing to pay. That is his/her decent price. What a seller is willing to accept for it is another matter all together. If someone is looking to part with their item for what the market dictates, then by all means, do so. However, always understand that that's called a sale, not a hook up. |
