I think it is cool he gave them up to the couple. Maybe they are new collectors who were searching for them just like we did/do. What if it was reversed? You being the needy collector and someone handing you over the joes you have been searching for due to that person already owning them. Do not judge him for his actions and leave the scalper comments at home. Great job Commander!

If you re-read his post, He offered the vehicles to the couple, not the other way around. This type of action makes this hobby worth while. I have given stuff to other people and vise verse. Heck this has led to strong friendships. Scalpers are everywhere but who are we to judge. People like to hear positive stories from the hunt especially with all the negative comments and stories floating around.

This is the very reason I have a BAT figure. a very nice guy in the toy aisle was looking over all of wave 9 when I frantically speed walked around the corner and started looking at the Joes. I probably looked like a scalper because I was grabbing all the new Joes. We talked a bit and he asked me which figures I thought were cool and such. He seemed to be floundering on the Bat so I asked if he was gonna get it. He said I could have it and he'd find another later. I have not seen one since then at all. Could be he was able to get one, maybe he hasn't. But he scored major karma points with that one kind action and if I can help him out sometime, I wouldn't hesitate to do it now.

And yes, I did donate Joes to a sick kid one of our more benevolent Tankers was collecting for... So tell me, what does that make me, Mr. Sunshine??? |
