Scalping 7 Devastators on ebay

[griffin]

Unfortunately, that's just a fan at one of the south American toy fairs..

Yes, the guy in the last photo in the white T-shirt is the guy from South America who posted up photos from the Brazilian Toyfair a little while ago... so he's not the Australian ebayer in Campbelltown scalping off these toys for $924 profit just to prevent 7 fans from being able to get one at all this week.
(more will be coming out in Australia, but with a toy this fun, you don't want to be waiting, particularly if these 7 were still available in a Sydney store for non-scalper fans to get one right now)


And they don't just scalp Transformers either.


I'm just so mad about this blatant greed from someone who is clearly not a fan to do this to real fans.

If they are this uncaring and disrespectful to real fans, they would not be welcome among collectors on fansites like this one, because how could you ever be able to trust them, especially with sightings, as they would use the sighting for their own benefit instead of passing it onto someone else who needs it.

Campbelltown huh? Looks like I now know who's personally responsible for me missing out then, he would have raided all the stores local to me for those
Don't worry lads, if I see this scumbag I'll "thank" him from all of us

I'm more interested in the guy trying to sell an Evangelion MP10 for a little under a grand.

Now that's ambition.

He's from Sydney. Enough said.

I think people are blowing this out of proportion.
These are just toys he is scalping, not an essential item like food or medicine.
Is anyone really suffering because of this?
And remember, scalpers only exist because people are willing to buy from them.

Quoted for truth. Just say no, have some patience and there shouldn't be an issue. Doesn't really help that Big W didn't have sufficient quantities to begin with but that's a different matter altogether......

Ur no I disagree, to be honest do it discreetly rather than showing a photo of 7 he gotten.

It pisses people off a lot

I apologize if I stirred many angry feelings here. Just joined this forum (long time user though) and making everyone angry is the last thing that I want to do. I hate scalpers but in the big scheme of things that ebay seller is not the worst (although his smugness posing in front of the pile of Devy that I AM sure he got from a BIGW insider doesnt help one bit). On top of my head PS2, PS3, iphone 5S gold etc etc were some of the worst one.

Let's move on. Forget that pathetic ebay seller. I went to BigW southland at 7 AM Thursday and was one of the first (top 10 at least) who put my name there. I was told that they will give me a call later on. Lucky my son's birthday is still a month away

I will call them tomorrow to see what is going on and will post the update. good luck to everyone here!

It's all good mate. This is usually one of the most relaxed and laid back TF fan sites out there. Heated discussions do happen but are not a daily occurrence. I hope you stick around to enjoy Ozformers further

This is a wide spread problem in society where others pray on others weakness..........

There is no weakness here apart from the need to "own a toy" (insert any other material object here) right now. Because God forbid, the sky would fall if we don't.

The weak ones are the ones that buy from scalpers at inflated prices, not those that sell it.
