You see a lot of this with collectable card games or stuff like Heroclix because the manufacturer creates a rarity system and an instant secondary market which is why people usually drop those games once they see the crazy costs.

I don't mind someone wanting market value for an item that is out of production and has naturally created a value, like a ML BAF or toy from a past line. But I don't like seeing all the Bagheads at every store get bought right away because people think they can flip them for $40-$50. The problem is that the "value" is often created, at least partially, by the scalpers buying up a figure so no one can find it.

At the end of the day I don't think the mods allow you to call people out here anymore and all you can do is just not deal with people that aren't thinking on your same level. Just be safe and don't buy from people who don't have a track record or require them to send first.

interesting comment to say the least Iceman,i seen the same practice happen with ML's thats partially the reason why i dropped that Line,im too far gone with MU to quit now.400+ figures and counting.
im in the loop as far as the who's who on the ark is concerned,so i will thread lightly when trading here i already got burned here so i know what its like to get ripped off,i got my MU guy in canada,and a couple of peeps in the US,unfortunately i had to pull out of a few proposed deals because the items i was looking for turned up on over here or because of a too good to be true deal that popped up in the 13th hour.but i do try to give something back to genuine fellow arkers whenever i am in a position to help and i think i have been as fair as i could be in any deals ive worked here,so far no complaints.
yeah and i totally agree with the whole "baghead" spidey debacle.the only spidey figure i need,yet people taunt me with their multi baghead finds,LOL.hopefully i get him before he winds up like Vision and Blade.
