I think this really doesn't belong in the Marvel section even though Marvel toys are mentioned. Seriously, though... That's just the way it goes. There is no universally defined "code" for collecting. Don't get me wrong, he's kind of a jerk because he bought a bunch of toys and he's going to resell them but he's right, he got there first. There's nothing illegal about what he's doing. Unethical? Maybe. I wouldn't have done anything. He got there first. How are his reasons for buying them any less valid than my reasons? Yeah, I'm in it to collect, but if it ever comes to the point where I want to thin my collection, am I just as bad if I sell them for the current going rate if it shot up? If I could make $1000 vs $300, should I? Or should I do the "right" thing and sell them for their original value? Am I only "allowed" to sell them for original value plus gas? And how am I any better than he is if I resell these later rather than right away? Don't want to come across sounding like a jerk, but you were right to be banned. You should never have physically put your hands into his basket. That's crossing the line in my book. He bought some toys before you got there, man. He didn't rob the store. Learn your lesson and do it right next time... beat him up in the parking lot. LOL. Just kidding.
