I will say this, personally I have seen and been on your site a few times, but Inever ordered or thought about ordering anything, mainly due to high pricing. You can sell figures 2 ways, individually or as a entire wave. per case the odds aren't always the same, so finding a cable figure maybe 1 out of 2 cases where as wolverine is 3/case, so with factors like that I can see why some figures would cost more to purchase individually.
BBTS reconizes this and does charge more for variant/rare items but it's within a couple dollar range, nothing to crazy. Vision is 1 of the best examples on your site of stoner based pricing, originally it had a retail value of $7.99 in the US, $9.99 in Canada, ebay price is anywhere from $5 loose -70 max on ebay, and you're asking $150+ tax and shipping... I could see that maybe for the Nick fury or Archangle mail away limited edition figures or the SDCC 70th anniversary boxset, but not for a single carded figure!
I can find the clear version without cape from china shipped for under $5, to me discount codes don't mean shit when you hav 400% markup on rare but semi common items. Now when we talk about more scarce items like ML MI, etc then you can be a bit more picky on pricing due to the fact the stuff's no longer made, but some Arkers actually can find vision on a peg, or hasn't even hit certain areas yet... crazyness. ebay is the way to go for me, after that BBTS or TRU.
