Thanks to everyone for the kind words. I'm sorry, if some are not happy about prices. I do try the best I can and always put MAKE AN OFFER on the auctions. I tried to base the prices of the new 30th items on the eBay complete auctons. As of yesterday, we had the lowest prices on eBay for them. If that has changed I will try to adjust if possible. Please, know as a real store we have over head. We can't compete with Walmart though we do try. But, please know we are not scalping anything and people from our area and the Coil Club know we do not.
If we do scalp items, it's right from the back of the trucks. Here is a typical arrival of our inventory. This just came in today:

I also guarantee when selling these individually Kokomo is going to be "stuck" with a bunch of IGs, Stalkers, and maybe others eventually.
If you are only consistently selling 6-8 figures out of a 12 pack case what happens to the other figures? That's inventory, and most stores want a small inventory to make people happy, but not to store endlessly and take up valuable space. This is why you see other online retailers clearancing their "peg warmers"...they lose money on those so it has to made up on others as well. I wish I lived in shiny, Utopia land where there was never any profit, and I could work only as much as I wanted, and had the proletariat cooking my meals for me.

If he is no different then any other retail store then why are his prices twice as high as walmart TRU and Target? I kinda dont see a difference in him and a scalper. But that is just my opinion everyone else here can think different.
