Props to you for not ripping people off like everyone else on Ebay. Props to him loosing money? eBay and PayPal transaction costs are ridiculous. I would never sell any product for less than it's worth unless the market influenced the price. For example, it is likely his final cost for the JOMO figures is between US$17-18 per figure as a result of his Mach pricing. When the final cost of his JOMO figure could have been as low as US$13-14. Multiply these numbers by three and he is spending between US$9-12 more for all three JOMO figures, as a result of his Mach pricing. That is almost another figure! Are you guys even cognizant of eBay and PayPal transaction costs? Do you expect the seller to pay for these costs out of his own pocket? Come on now. Lets be realistic. I do not condone scalping prices but the man should recuperate the costs associated with the transaction. No. I said props to him for not ripping people off.

Yeah, but you did say, "for not ripping people off like everyone else on Ebay." I sell on ebay, and I start the auctions at $0.99, in fact I recently sold a All Star JoMo for with only 1 bid at 99cents. So, please don't lump everyone that sells on ebay as someone that rips people off. You should condense your statement to certain people on ebay that list high "buy it now" maybe... and not generalize everyone on ebay as someone that "rips people off" back on topic to the original poster, thats a great "buy it now" price with free shipping, I would have jumped on this if I didn't buy the 2-pack already.

Was just trying to give the guy props for not being a scalper. Sorry if I hurt your feelings. I apologize.

Finally someone else gets it! eBay is always increasing their costs and the USPS increased costs again this year. Sellers should not have to eat these costs on their own, especially those who are trying to help people out. When I started using eBay they took 2%, now its 9% of the final value and come April they are including the entire shipping price in the final value. So, Elite Figure: $15 Tax 9%: $1.35 eBay List Fee: $.50 eBay Final Fee 9% (say it sells for 15 + 8 for Priority Shipping): $2.07 Possible PayPal Fee 2.9% + $.30: $.97 Total: $19.89 (Not including the gas and time to find the figure & then ship it) It's all getting out of hand. Dude, I get it. I was planning to sell a Band of Outsiders Blazer (prestige clothing company which produces their blazers at Martin Greenfield in Brooklyn, NY) on eBaY and I would've had to list the BIN price a US$100 more to make what I wanted after all the transaction costs. I decided against selling the blazer because it is a piece I can use for many years to come and it is just not worth it. Also, keep in mind, eBay final value fees for BIN auctions are now tiered. The transaction cost can be as much as 12% (on the first US$50) plus an additional 9% (on the remaining balance)! eBay is including the shipping cost in the final value fee starting in April because sellers are using high shipping costs and low BIN prices to avoid having to pay the exorbitant final value fees. No. I said props to him for not ripping people off. Juice, I understand his prices are fair but they are also borderline idiotic. Champ should be commended if he does not mind loosing money. Personally, I never condone unrealistic views of pricing, scalping, etc. The point is most individuals look at a price on eBay and are quick to judge w/out knowing the transaction costs associated with the auction. They see Mach listed for US$20 w/ US$7 shipping and immediately pass judgement on the seller. When the seller is only trying to make a few bucks (between US$1-5) for gas, to pay for his figures, for his services, etc. It is not fair.

Yeah eBay has really gone downhill in terms of their fees, etc. for doing more than having a forum for your auctions. It's not like they're packing the figures up and sending them out for you. If so, that'd be worth a cut of my action. ;-)
I put my Orton from the Jake/Orton set up. I have him listed at $7.99 with free shipping. I really just want to get something back for him as I just got the set for Jake and Damien.

I wish I was like an admin of eBay of some sort that could kill auctions like that. It's bulls*it like that that make it hard for others of us to find figures.

I think it's fair, some people want 20 bucks with shipping.
