it's easy money, anyone who likes easy money like me would have did the same
its common sense too, if i see something i know im gonna be able to sell i buy it and however many there are of that money item. it's stupid not to up your status quo if you can do it.

Congrats on the finds and expect a pm shorlty, as I have an extra 1 of 1000 Austin and would love to trade it for one of those Takers. PMed back. See this is the reason i bought so many..so i can trade to get the belts i need to build up my collection. Anyone who says they would not buy every belt they seen is either A)broke B)stupid[/quote] No offense KJ but that's just a flat out stupid statement. (example) So me passing up #69 /1000 Batista means I'm broke and stupid? I guess I'm stupid for 1) not liking Batista, 2) for spending my hard earned money on something else.

He doesn't even have any of them listed on Ebay. He bought them so he can trade for others that he needs, and now he'll have some extras to trade for when more new Superstars hit the shelves.

I don't think you're sad for searching for 1/1000's... I think you're sad for searching for the SAME 1/1000's just to fill up your pockets. I'm not jealous, I'm jSYN.

Do you really need all those belts? There are other collectors out there who still do things the old fashion way by going from store to store. how the hell do you think i found them? Do you think one store had 12?? I went to over 8 targets and 4 tru's to find these today. Took me a half tank of gas and 5 hours time. Its pretty funny how jealous some of you are [/quote it's pretty funny how greedy some jackass scalpers can be you took 5 hours out of your day just to buy toys, you my friend, need to get a life And people need to stop being so damn jealous. WTF ARE YOU talking about? I said do you live by KJ? are you ing intellectually- disabled or something man? what you said has fact behind it but you're a broken record with anything you have to say. you already said that before think of some new material. lucky bastard, enjoy all the easy money you'll get off of those. too bad i couldnt find any to rake in that mattel money. I repeat the same thing b/c I keep reading this intellectually- disabled posts complaining about people making a purchase. THATS THE BROKEN RECORD! Its not material.....its just playing the same response for same whiny cries. I hope your argument was meant to be facetious, if not, it is completely illogical. You state if an individual hates scalping they hate America. How is this possible? Scalping, selling a product at a higher price point to make additional revenue, is an economic function. I believe we all understand kj is acting in his own self interest, however, that does not make his actions moral. Because of his immoral actions, an inequity exists and people have the right to feel different and express their differences about his actions. This difference in opinion and morals does not make anyone less American it makes them more ideologic and less pragmatic in their thought process. We should, as a community, question the actions of others and voice whether or not they are just. Lambasting and determining people's opinions or morals do not count is less American than anything. That is all I have to say about that if it makes any sense. I for one believe he went overboard and I scalp from time to time to get a few bucks for my figures. I am not saying he can not do it. I am just saying I may have not done it. But who knows if the moment presented itself. You are really dictating morality on a message board about wrestling figures? KJ, I have no problem with you finding the belts, congrats, but I think it's when you come on here and brag about how many "cases" you bought and what's going up on ebay that ticks people off. Thanks for sharing but no need to brag about how much ya got all the time. You got one thing.....I am sick and tired of seeing people post pics of figures we have seen a billion times. We have a "Just Bought" Thread.....use it. Stop making new posts everytime you want to show off what you bought. That should go for everyone, not just KJ. He is no different than anyone else around here. Whether he bought 12 1/1000 or 1 common figure......none of these posts are really necessary. Congrats on the finds and expect a pm shorlty, as I have an extra 1 of 1000 Austin and would love to trade it for one of those Takers. PMed back. See this is the reason i bought so many..so i can trade to get the belts i need to build up my collection.

(example) So me passing up #69 /1000 Batista means I'm broke and stupid? I guess I'm stupid for 1) not liking Batista, 2) for spending my hard earned money on something else. No one forces anyone to buy anything. However, if you see a 1/1000 and you pass on it. Yes, I am calling you stupid. At the very least you can double your investment on ebay. That in turns allow you to spend even MORE hard earned money on figures YOU want. I don't think you're sad for searching for 1/1000's... I think you're sad for searching for the SAME 1/1000's just to fill up your pockets. I'm not jealous, I'm jSYN. - TMIGT. Please stop the gimmick posting. Its annoying.

If you don't, you're a fool. I'd go over there and slap him straight and say "Who has this, now?!!" I'd go over there and ask politely for one of his figures.

What do I have to gain in doing this to KJ? I never buy anything from him cuz his prices are too high. Sorry KJ. Secondly, if I showed up and KJ flew out to PA and was in my TRU and had 12 1/1000 figures......would I be pissed?! DAMN RIGHT I WOULD!!!! Pissed at myself for not getting there quicker. Pissed at myself for having bad luck. Pissed at myself that KJ came to PA and never told me he was coming. But not pissed at him.

Sorry Show, but that's not my gig baby. I understand, hell no one is forcing me to buy any of KJ's figs but calling someone stupid and broke for passing them up is really un-called for. Can I call him stupid for buying them all and not leaving any for the rest of the kids/collectors? Of course someone is going to quote me and tell me "No! you're just jealous because he has the money to buy them and he will make even more money at selling them or get the figures he wants by trading them"
Good for him.
When I get my paycheck, and I spend my money, I value what I buy because it's something I worked hard to get . I honestly do not believe in easy money. So that's why it's not my gig. I'd rather polish a guy's shoe and earn $5 for doing it than have some stranger randomly hand me $5 for no reason.

If I even had the money, I wouldn't buy all that stuff you bought. Talk about asking for flame, you post pics of your buy today. Second you say someone who wouldn't buy the same is broke? No I don't think so pal

just read through this thread and honestly, this is my opinion.
whatever mr KJ wants to do with his money is his own business....however by posting pictures and sharing stories about how many 1/1000 Mattel figures he has found IS bragging/throwing it in people's faces who care. There is no denying that.
personally...if I went to a bunch of different stores and came across a total of 7 1/1000 Undertakers I can honestly say I would end up buying 2. I'd get the lowest number I could find to keep for myself and another to either re-sell or trade here to get a different 1/1000.
him buying all those is just adding to the already saturated scalper market of 1/1000's. Pretty soon there will be 400 of each one on Ebay and they will be selling for less than what a person paid for it.
These aren't like 1/500's where there are only 500 of ONE figure. From what I've seen there are 12,000 of these belts floating around....and the ONLY one that will hold a high value in the future will be lucky number 1.
Its the same thing with those Wrestlemania 25 packs. There were at least 10-20 people on this board that bought more than 5 of those. Pretty soon they will all start showing up loose on Ebay and people will be lucky to get $3.00 for each figure.
Buying low and selling high is a milleniums old idea. Its just easier to do it now than it was 30 years ago.

I'll go on the record saying that a majority of these hoarders are dicks. No jealousy or hate at all, it's just a dick move to gobble all these up. I wouldn't be surprised if anyone who does this, and is reading this post, is probably smirking and nodding lightly in agreement. I personally don't think it's too bad a thing, but it's a bit dick-ish.
Still, all of you that are getting mad should just be mad at the people who cave in to this specific market. If there's going to be people willing to pay double or triple for things, there's always going to be someone looking to sell to them.

I like KJ but its still a classless thing to do. Wrestling figures isnt a business and if anyone thinks it is then maybe you should have paid more attention in school and got a better education to actually make something of your lives.

You know what? I set out today to find just 1 single 1/1000 figure. I didn't even care who it was! Every f*cking store I hit (over a dozen) had been cleaned out. I manage to grab a couple things to start my Mattel collection, but not a single 1/1000 figure remained as the shelves had been ravaged.
Enjoy all your f*cking profit. Dick.

Its 50/50 I Mean I don't think its fair taken all them 1/1000 espicially of the same figure, but yet you are doing a smart thing that pissing off alot of people who cannot find them anywhere.
Perhaps next time if you do that type of 'shopping' don't post it here to get everyone eles pissed at you.
But still you got some great 1/1000 collection there! least your selling and trading them at a decent price.
