These secondary market guys are ridiculous. I was bored enough to look around for an Elite Ciampa figure last week and saw a few listed at 100+. Maybe it's just me but mass produced wrestling figures released in less than a 5 year window should never have a price jump that high. Mattel WWE Elites are in demand now. These figures were released in less than a 2 year window, but if you are selling them, you wont need a job during this time of recession. Hall of Champions 3 Ultimate Warrior Flashback Series 3 King Harley Race Elite 63 Bob Backlund Elite 64 Pete Dunne Elite 65 Sensational Sherri Elite 66 Alexander Wolfe NXT Elite 4 Aleister Black NXT Elite 4 Drew McIntyre Elite 68 Pat Patterson Elite 69 Liv Morgan Elite 70 Gerald Brisco Elite 71 Kassius Ohno Network Spotlight Asuka Survivor Series Elite Don Muraco Elite 73 Gorilla Monsoon Elite 73 Peyton Royce Royal Rumble Elite Macho King Randy Savage Network Spotlight Wendi Richter Elite 74 Jim the Anvil Elite 75 Billie Kay

^ There is at least 4 of the Wendi Richter figures on the pegs of either the Monroe or Middletown NY Target as of Tuesday night. And they’ve been there at least a week, because whichever store it was they had them the previous time we went to those two stores two Sunday’s ago.

Haha Thank you for addressing the elephant in the room my friend! I bought my Undisputed Era box set from their amazon page during the few months rs didnt have them under the impression it was the only source available at the time. After shipping it was around 110 dollars. Only to see days later there multiple carriers had popped up on and off amazon for at least 30 less. When i acquired about a price match they pretty much said it wasn't their problem

Who's more annoying? The people who complain about scalpers, or the people that buy from them?
The scalper is the last person deserving blame. If people happen to buy a product that other people on eBay are willing to pay a 100% markup for...go right ahead. It's the idiots in this hobby that are the problem. Stop ******* paying hundreds of dollars for figures. It's that simple.

I knew this guy that held a store of WWE figures and literally had someone over the phone scalping figures for him around the area. I couldn't believe what I was seeing, people really do this for a living and unfortunately nothing can be done as long as people pay for these prices.
That guy did hook me up with some legends at the time and I never did support the new elites he would sell but I know people would drive miles to get their hands on them.

They're completely aware of what they're doing. And I'm sorry but they are the scumbag in all of this, the buyers are just the suckers who feed into this culture.

Slim Jim macho man was limited to 1 per customer. The legends pre-orders were limited to two orders per figure I had people on other social media platforms with 4-5 Slim Jim Savages

I've noticed two or three online retailers that some how ordered cases of the "exclusive" Jim Neidhart and not charging too much. I wish this would have been the case for Monsoon. I could stomach $30. #adultcollectorslol $30 is absolutely fair for those, because that's the average retail value. I saw people charging around $100 for Gorilla Monsoon

I’ll help anyone out that I can as far as current stuff. These guys that try and scalp currently available stuff are the lowest of the low. I can totally understand something that’s no longer produced or a figure that’s a few years old and sought after, but stuff like a few series old or so ... there’s no sense in that ... help out your fellow collectors, man 💯 Amen to that

This is always so odd to me. Everyone jacks up prices! Walmart, Target, Amazon, and Ringside are all charging more than they spend to purchase, because that's how businesses make money.
I don't generally purchase from scalpers, but it's ridiculous to somehow think they're doing something illegal or unethical. They're purchasing stuff at one price, and offering it for sale at another. No one's obligated to buy it.. and it's not essential goods or anything.
Ringside charges more for sought after figures. It's a big part of the reason I only order from them on clearance or exclusives. Walmart and Target often charge more for exclusives.
Are scalpers annoying, and a big part of the stress involved in this hobby? Absolutely. But they're not unethical, IMO.

I haven't been to Walmart in a while to check their stuff. So I wouldn't know what's going on there.

It seems that alot of collectables are going for more currently. The air jordan market is out of control during this time. Though the last dance documentary is a factor in that as well.
