It depends on your perspective: for the consumer, it is definitely price gouging to sell figures that high on e-bay. That is nearly 2X the cost you find at a store. And yes, they are making a NICE profit - especially if they are buying them from Target - or have a store that sells for Hasbro.
For an individual seller, I understand that you are making the price that includes gas and packaging and tape and whatever else you can use to justify raising the price, plus the item, but here is the thing: no one buys it. Maybe you are one of the few reputable sellers who actually buys a new box and uses real shipping stuff - and I have met quite a few her on the Tank - but most e-bay sellers use an old beat up box and newspaper and ask for money to pay for their supplies and trouble. It is supply and demand, and I hate it when a person actually tries to justify the price with all these "supplies" and "gas" when really they just want to make more money. Just say, "Hey, the item demands a higher price. It is hard to find for many and people want it." $15 is too much for me. But if people pay it, the price will remain. Just don't try to justify the price by saying it is reasonable. It is not. At least by my judgement.
