Pulse, thank you for your kindness and I'm all about helping out my mates as well, as I'm sure many can attest to (though please don't )

Also, I'm happy to not change your opinion, and I'm very glad that your opinion has been added to the mix here.

I'd still like you to answer the specific questions I directed at you in response to the comments you linked to:

I don't know how some scalpers can do it. By Scalpers, I mean the ones who have amassed an amazing collection over the years (which began in 1984) & then one day decide to sell them all for as much as possible.
Are you saying that a collector that suddenly decides to move on, possibly due to the birth of a child, or a higher interest rate on their mortgage, should be selling their toys at cost??!?!

You also say that markup to cover costs is acceptable, but unnecessary markups for no reason becomes scalping. I don't understand this. Every goods-based business is all about markup for profit.

Why is profiting off Transformers such a no-no? Why can used car lots by cheap used cars and mark them up? Why can a supermarket by cheap groceries mark it up? What makes markup on these toys so different?!?!
