Guess they've flooded Illinois. This guy north of Peoria, IL has 6 for sale on ebay. www.EBAY LINK NOT ALLOWEDm/itm/WWE-Seth-Rollins-Mattel-ACTION-FIGURE-ELITE-Exclusive-Brand-New-37-38-MITB-/131621326596?hash=item1ea53e0f04 What a waste. You figure with IL tax, that's about $130 for the figures. Sold at $35 each, you're looking at $210, so $80 "profit." Then he's got free shipping, which is going to be at least about $6, since these can't go First Class Mail. So assume at least $36 for shipping; probably more if anyone from another time zone bought one. So now you're down to $44. But wait! eBay and PayPal fees are close to a combined 15 percent, so now you're down to about $24.

$34.99 for the Figure (Free Shipping) Minus 13% + .30 for Ebay/Paypal = $4.97 Minus Shipping (IDK) estimate $5.99 since its MOC, maybe as low as $3. Minus $22 for original purchase of figure
That yields a profit of $2.03 per figure (Max $5 if shipping is cheaper than $5.99). This also doesn't include gas/time/shipping materials.
Is it really worth it for the guy scalping these on ebay?

Definitely will be on the lookout for Seth.
Like some others, I skipped E37 specifically for this one.

Can't wait for this. It's going to look great MOC regardless if the belt is molded or vac or a replica or if it's an optical illusion.

Is it really worth it for the guy scalping these on ebay? Maybe he's really not scalping and just trying to get figures out there for people. I have paid that much for some figures that are not out in my area, Kane BAF set, and thought it was a fair price since all the guy was making was a couple bucks for his time. I would not classify this as true scalping. BUt if you're going to go through the effort, get a couple more bucks.

He's just not doing a very good job about doing his math lol

He's just not doing a very good job about doing his math lol I was just trying to give him the benefit of the doubt. Heck, i would expect at least $5 a figure profit to make it worth it, but nothing more. And i would never sell more than 1. NOW if he stole the box he is making a killing.........
