Besides, I hear all the time how people say, “Well just buy all the Club stuff, keep what you want, and resell what you don’t at double/triple the price—cover all your costs and maybe make a little money too!” Okay, so where does “scalping” begin and end? Talk about calling the kettle black…

Normally I don't appreciate scalping but this year the con set was available for a day if not more so there was ample time for any one, attendees and non to order one. I just didn't have the money this year but that is besides the point. In the past some sets have sold out in 30 min and I didn't feel that was just. If I had a say in the matter I'd say only allow 1 set per club member per day. If some wanted a second set let them order it day 2 so everyone has 1 full day to order their set. If you don't have the money day 1 (like I did) then that's just your own fault. But allowing 24 hours for everyone to order before multiples can be ordered wold seem fair to me as a member. I'm sure the Club has concerns that are beyond my understanding.
As far as Attendee exclusives go (the con set is not an attendee exclusive) I feel that those who make the sacrifice to go should be able to do what they want with the items they acquire when there. But If I did attend and wasn't able to get 1 of each attendee exclusive because someone ahead of me needs to supplement their income with scalping I'd be enraged. If you can't afford to go to the con then you don't go. I don't think scalping is justified as a means to afford to attend. Apply the same logic to any other venue, "I bought ALL of the liquor in the bar at on the cruise within the first hour, and will sell it back to anyone who wants a drink at 3x the price other wise I couldn't afford to go?" Do that and you'd find yourself swimming home.

I would be ok with attendee exclusives being limited to 1 for the first day. I think that general admission folks should have a shot at getting some of the stuff there. So if you only open the store for early pick up on friday, limit 1 set of the attendee exclusives to each person, then sat, open the store and those same people can go back and get a second set if they so choose. But this way everyone there has an opportunity to get a set of exclusives. Golden ticket holders can get 2 sets on the second day if they are available.

I didn't vote, because I don't feel like any of those choices were completely accurate in expressing my viewpoint. I'm not anti-scalping, but I don't think the Golden Tickets should be a thing. Scalping, but not to a gluttonous extent, basically.
