Went to a Smyths here in the UK. On the off chance I could get balor. Manage to get 2. The last 2.one I open the other I keep m.o.c. The girl who works there said I was lucky getting the last 2.she said a guy got the other 8.she said he would have bought them all but didn't bring a enough cash with him.he said he was going back home to get more money and go to the other Smyths in the area and buy as many balor as possible. Talk about scalper.

What a dick. I hate scalpers and I advise against anyone paying anything over what RSC charges if possible.
I think scalping toys is a bitch's way of making money instead of getting a real job like the majority of us.

I mean weve seen people only make like $2-5 after ebay fees and stuff. Redic |

No problem with it at all. I've never heard of anyone go into a smyths and not get what they want, way after release of course, but not when they first come out, there are loads of each in smyths eventually, until the next wave is released
And how do you know he wasn't buying them for others? Greg picked up about 8 Warrior/Sting packs, not all for him, for others. It does happen

Would I do it myself? No
Do I judge someone who uses his knowledge of the product and people's spending habits to pay his bills? NOPE

Talk about scalper. I truly hate this people that's why i prefer to buy from a store and not from ebay when i see they post a lot of listing of the same item for over priced figures. For the companies this ain't a problem as they get the money they want, but for us collectors and players is something bad and disgusting. |

This one time i bought 2 Daredevil figures because i needed them for customs, but some guy saw me and shouted SCALPER! So i had to dropkick him into the Hot Wheels and had to settle the rivalry in a Nerf cage match.

Glad I preordered my Balor but I hope these scalpers get the elite 36 Paige treatment when there was just cases of her.

Not gonna name him. People like him make it hard to collect. I also believe he bought the ENTIRE case of Heenan family set |

I think scalping toys is a bitch's way of making money instead of getting a real job like the majority of us. You've got this backwards. Us everyday schlubs get a job and get a wage. The real businessmen make money buying for a dollar and selling for two. |

That's what the girl said to me in smyths. She said he was bragging how he would make double the money on all the figures. God knows how many balors he ended up buying.

This pisses me off greatly. I never pay above RSC's rates (Shipping included) and really I don't see the point in any toy scalping (Not just WWE, anything) since you only make a few dollars profit. A lot of it goes to eBay fees or shipping, not to mention gas going from store to store, so it's pointless.
