Theives and repackers are deffinitely worse than buying something from one store and returning it to another.

Actually a thief affects both entities too. When a Joe is stolen, the stores inventory shows more than they actually have in stock. So if someone steals a ton of figures, the stores system won't know to order more, so you won't find anything new ever on the pegs. Most stores only count inventory once a year, so they won't fix the count till then.

A & C are CLEARLY stealing and CLEARLY wrong.
B is an entirely different animal. There is no reason Wal-greens has to charge such an absurd amount for these figures. If you buy something from them (CS Snake-Eyes seems to be the martyr here! haha)and then return something to them that you bought cheaper somewhere else. That's THEIR problem for not having a better inventory system/return policy. I tried to do this at Meijer recently and could not. They have a scan system in place that protects them from this. This is NOT stealing. Essentially, you gave them $10.99 for an item and they gave you back $10.99 for a different item that they would charge you the same for. You've given them the opportunity to make their money back. Basically you've chosen your price for what you wanted. In a way, it's sort of like priceline.com! haha. Ok, maybe not... But it's NOT stealing! Also: I'd say the repacker is SLIGHTLY worse than the straight-up thief because he's also attempting to insult someone's intelligence and could possibly mess up some kid's holiday or birthday!

scalpers are harmless. in fact, collectors are far worse than scalpers. at least scalpers afford you the opportunity to purchase it. collectors hoard when they know something is in demand because they can't stand not buying 11 of something knowing others want it -- if you want it, the collector has to have multiples of it at your expense.
the gripe about scalpers has and always will be asinine when collectors are other collectors worst enemy. |

I didn't say I hated anyone. I was just defining the crime. Re-packing is stealing. So is not clocking out. That got a girl fired here so I wouldn't recommend it.

i would say repackers then stashers then stealing. i have unfortunately purchased some of their handy work, when this happens i think of when i was a kid sometimes i would scale mountains, jump though flaming hoops,swim the amazon river full length, let my sister touch my toys just to get a gijoe and if that gijoe which i had explained to my parents in great detail was to be repacked i would have been crushed to tears because my parents would not have returned it for me.
