Kyle, We're making no reference to you at all . There's a difference between helping others obtain hard-to-come-by items & basically scalping TFs off at over-inflated prices. It's all good Mate (Woah, now I'm starting to sound like Lisa )



I can't stand scum like that . The international boards seem to be flooded with those types of "Scalpers" masquerading as "TF Collectors".

When did you meet these people to be able to work out they are scum. Everyone needs to make a living, if you don't agree with their prices just don't buy off them and move on. I don't like over inflated prices myself but if your patient you will find items at prices your willing to pay on ebay, e-stores or people you meet through boards like this. Back on subject, I like the location field, if you don't like it don't use it.

I don't mind when people add a few dollars more on top of the purchase price of a TF to cover their fuel, time etc. - that's perfectly fine. I can live with that.

But when people charge double or triple the actual cost of a TF (& a rarer one at that) - now that is unacceptable. Just in recent times, have you checked what some Scalpers have been asking for Classics Skyfire & Movie Deluxe '08 BB? How do these Scalpers live with themselves - knowing that all they are is "Rip-Off Artists" (if that's even a word )? Don't they have a conscience?

I've even read a first-hand account of someone who encountered an Animated Scalper at Botcon. This person witnessed a little kid & his Dad trying to negotiate a deal with this Scalper who had a tonne of Animated Stuff but even though a little kid wanted to buy an Animated figure off him, The Scalper outright refused to take a even few dollars off his massively over-inflated prices (His prices were triple what the Animated Figures were worth retail). Now, that is a Scalper of the worst kind...
