Really? Since when, I honestly have yet to notice this. Since the scalpers here got all upset about being called scalpers, and started posting things like "If we didn't scalp wrestling figures, the economy would die!" and "No one is forcing you to buy our figures. If you don't like our prices, just move along." Dont forget how they say they are earning a living, despite not having the skills or knowledge to run a legit business.

So I guess RSC isnt a legit business? Yeah. Ok. Jealousy is an ugly shade of ugliness. As far as 1/1000 on ebay....I could care less. I have never found one in a store. But I did get one shipped to me from ebay for $13. So that means the seller took a loss, when shipping cost like $7 of that $13. And yes, most sell for about $20. It isnt worth listing it on ebay for the $10 profit. B/c after you pay the listing fees, ebay fees, paypal fees and the time it took to take the pic, upload it and list the auction.....the real profit turns out to be no more than $5. Invest $10 to make $5. In scalping, you always want a risk reward of 2-1. That means if I invest $10.....I need to make $20 on it. Meaning it needs to sell in excess for $30.

Yeah scalpers are annoying. On ebay right now I have a few Mattels going for only $5! I don't really see any reason to over charge. Speaking of that ebay, Batista that you have up is mis-listed. Just thought I would let you know

What the? 0001 Trips? Thats not possible, the listing for that ended successfully a while ago so i dont see how he could possibly have that 0001 trips to sell cause he was not the buyer. I think might be some BS.....

I think might be some BS..... Or he bought it or traded for it from the guy who did win the auction. Collector's have been knowing to swap things multiple times.

Well the current bidder of the 0001 is the same person who won the other 0001 yet the sellers are different....
