Or even newer out of print items like the original X-Force Warpath and original Vision.

Am I supposed to sell these for what I originally paid for them? What's fair market value and who defines it? If you're my friend, I may even GIVE you a rare toy for nothing in return or at most, I'd have an IOU where you might pick something up for me that I needed, but if I don't know you (like at all), why would I sell you a rare item that I won't be able to buy again for retail? I've been offered $8 + shipping for rare MUs before and I won't say by who, because I don't want to embarrass anyone. When I wouldn't sell, I was called a thief. I have to pay $10 to $12 at retail and our money is worth more. I'd already be losing money on the exchange rate alone. And I don't mean ones that just came out, I mean ones that came out ages ago that I couldn't rebuy if I wanted to or would cost me 5 to 10 times their original purchase cost.

And how the heck would I know that they won't just turn around and sell it for 10 times the price later anyway? I mean some people are just cheap and some people are worse, they take advantage of someone's good nature and then stab them in the back. I have no problems paying a little more for an item that's around 10 years old and kept in good condition. I do, however, have an issue paying double for something that just came out just because I can't buy it here in Canada. Am I a hypocrite?

I send a lot of Americans stuff that is common in Canada that's still in retail circulation at cost plus shipping or fair trades. Rare for rare, MOC for MOC, MOC rare for 2 MOC commons, MOC rare for 1 loose rare and 1 loose common, etc. Whatever works out to a fair trade. Sometimes I budge or will lose a little on trades for Arkers who are nice.
I agree. Omega is pointing out that I'm selling toys from my own personal collection that are rare and out of print for above retail cost. Though he posted my expensive SOTA SF figures, he failed to show the <8 dollar Marvel Legends that I quoted as well. Apples and oranges mate, he's just bitter I'm not going to give him my toy for practically free I guess. If it was a toy on a store shelf, I'd have traded/sold at cost but it isn't. Sorry bro, but Omega's an idiot... especially since the language I used in my original post was very civil. I didn't call anyone out either. He must have taken it personally.
