My fig hunting sensei promoted me to black belt in the discipline of cougar hunting. lol ;D I have now gobbled up 5 Vickis. Kept one for myself, 1 ready to be shipped in a trade tomorrow, and now have 3 more for trade!!! Dont worry, will only be 1 for 1 trades, or parts i need for trade. heres my latest haul courtesy of a walmart cube. 2 are good to go for MOC collectors, one is bent pretty bad, so best for a loose collector.

This is just as bad as those who scalp. No if's, and's, or but's about it.
Buying something, in the hopes of turning it around for a profit.

the problem with you buying 5!! is that other collectors, not always on this board, are looking for her too. so with you buying 5, your preventing others from getting her.
i wouldn't say your a scalper, but you have to look at it at that point of view.

Buying something, in the hopes of turning it around for a profit. how is trading ONE FOR ONE turning a profit. wheres the profit? you make no sense. Simple. Instead of leaving the other 4 for others to find, you've removed that option for your own personal gain. You picked them all up, so you could get something out it. It's not scalping, obviously. However, it's quite a selfish thing to do... just to get something you want. And the guy/girl that had the numerous Elite 11 Punks were crapped on big time. One of the more argumentive threads about multiple buying.

And the guy/girl that had the numerous Elite 11 Punks were crapped on big time. One of the more argumentive threads about multiple buying. i must have not revisted after the intial few posts, my apologies in that reference. heres how i see it. I only started collecting mattel this past september. So there are a ton of figs i missed on. Some people have bought newer stuff in multiples that i dont have access to for the purpose of trade. it helps me get a shot at figs i missed out on without being gouged on ebay, or being gouged by demand of newer stuff i havent seen yet. i see it as win/win. Is it a bit selfish? i could understand that view, but im just looking at it as a chance to give you something YOU want but cant find (or be gouged) for something I want that i cant find (or want to be gouged) im all about healthy debate.

Way I see it, you're not saying "I have 2 extras....and no I wont do retail" like certain people here. I agree with you, I just started collecting recently, if I knew someone wanted a figure and they had a figure I wanted and were willing to trade, id do it in a heartbeat. Not like you're charging $40+shipping for it, BUT NOBODY WOULD DO THAT

Also I can't count how many times I've seen people on here say "I picked up an extra such and such for trades" just because this figure is more sought after doesn't change anything. If it was E8 Regal or E4 Finlay nobody would care.

This could end up being a better deal for a collector if you are wanting to trade for something that they have and don't want or something. I will PM you.

but im just looking at it as a chance to give you something YOU want but cant find (or be gouged) for something I want that i cant find (or want to be gouged) im all about healthy debate. But people like you buying 5 might be the reason people like me cant find them. And I love the rush I get when I do find something in stores I've been looking for for a while.

I think when someone buys multiples of a hot figure for trade they should just put it in the classifieds. Don't bring it to the main board. It only pisses off those that can't find it. Or post something in your state's store findings.

I don't see the problem here. He's not profiting. People will get a figure they can't find and he'll get something he hasn't been able to find. It works out for everyone.
Great finds. I got one today too.

I think it's TOTALLY hypocritical to blast on Joejitsu22 for buying extra figs to trade when:
1. If they are out for sale and without a posted limit, in America, we can buy as many we see fit.
2. He's clearly trading 1 for 1, so the figure ethics police, a.k.a. "Scalper Bitches" shouldn't have a problem, since he doesn't make ANY sort of profit.
3. Idiots, you complain he is robbing some poor soul at retail of the opportunity to buy a figure that is sought after, even AFTER he tells you he bought them to trade to those of you collectors on here who seek them, but cannot find them. A whole lot of appreciation some of us on here show a guy who took his time to find figures to trade you, so your collection might be more complete.
