I think they should just melt it and make a door stop with it instead of wasting people's time.

But that's just it, unless a figure is still at retail how sure can you be that they paid that price for it? Also, if the figure is 10 years gone from retail then it shouldn't really matter what price tag it has on it. Either the person bought it cheap and has been storing it for years or they could have bought it from someone for 2 or 3 times that stick price and are now selling it themselves. It annoys me when it is a fairly new figure that I know was bought at a discount store and now sitting on ebay but old stuff just cracks me up. Remember when action figures were $5 at retail?
