B. Do I hate scalpers? Sure, but my issue is that they buy everything there, leaving nothing for others.

I left at least 6 of everything there.

C. Someone said economy is bad? It is. I literally just moved to a house that I'm paying for, as well as my college and living expenses for me and my girlfriend. I apologize if trying to find a way to support a hobby for me and my girlfriend seems hypocritical, but $30 on avg per figure because nothing, save this ONE influx, gets here.

If you've ever seen one of my rants, I don;t get anything. MY toy runs include over 8 cities/towns, last my entire day off, and I have never seen at retail any Dark Hawkeye wave, no Sentinel or Galactus, NO new GI Joes and most other collectibles. If trying to recoup some of that cost so that I can stay in this game is considered unacceptably hypocritical, then I apologize for angering you. And to play advocate, I have no idea if said scalper was in the same boat, but at the very least, I was TRYING for fair prices.

Here-

Colored Dr Strange- $15 shipped, Skaar and Falcon $12 shipped. To whoever PMs first. Are those fair prices?

Fair deal?

Not trying to stir the pot I just do not understand the last part of parahraph C. I'm glad your Traget seems to be putting out MU. The one by me has a lot of space for them but most are Iron Mans and older waves. I ony see one case put out at a time. So to me it seems like you bought them out. That's all.
I do think buying extras to try and re sell to supplament the money you spend on a hobby can be considered scalping but that is a whole ball of wax that has already be discussed. I consider scaper a dirty word we shoud use entrepreneur.
As long as everybody gets what they want and are happy with what they spent.

P.S.
I also appreciate the huge distraction this thread has been from me getting any work done on this pay day Fri. Just sat threw sexual harassment training and I'd rather talk about toys with you guys any day. It's nice to have intellegent conversations that do not turn into pissing contests and name calling.
