I buy TMNT figures and sell them for a lot more than what I paid for them on e-bay. It's a BUSINESS. You're doing the same thing with all of your old toys: you'd have sold all those NT:TNM figures if your prices were more reasonable. A lot of it is luck. So if what he's doing bothers you, there's a good chance that it bothers you because you're doinjg the same thing in a sense.

Um Darth I am selling old figures that are hard to find because THEY CAN'T BE BOUGHT IN STORES ANYMORE and are from my personal collection I want to turn a profit so it's worth my getting rid of them not because I want to sell them and rip fans off.
And When did you ever buy a figure from me that was opend? Unless it was something in the box not a blister card the only reason it would be opend was because it had been for years or I opend it to check and make sure everything was ok the tape being cut on a box isn't the end of the world.
And I find it funny I've never had a single complaint on ebay from anyone (well besides a few nitpicky people who's idea of mib is like straight out of the case) and now you come out because I say what this guys doing is wrong so you try and say I'm selling sh1t reall nice makes me wonder...
Oh I've also gone out of my way to make my ebay customers happy this one guy was unhappy with something I sent him right so what did I do I sent him 3 hard to find tales of tmnt issues yeah what other seller would go to that length to make his buyers happy I don't think that many.
The figures this person is selling are in stores right this very minute and you don't like what I'm selling don't buy it but my prices are not in any way shape or form as unreasonable for figures you can buy in a store right now for 6.99-7.99
And you know what else I've sold allot of them because I'm a good honest seller and always inform people where there's something wrong with the box, if something has taken me awhile to ship it it's because I had a medical or dental problem which really is no one persons business on this site at all.
I'm sorry but my health is more important to me than taking an extra week to send some one a figure.
Like I said this guys scalping figures you can buy AT THIS VERY MOMENT making it hard for others to find them it wouldn't even be an issue if he had one and was selling them he bought 3 friggin shredder figures jacked the price up and expected people not to p1ss and moan about it gimmie a break it's internet highway robbery.

Selling your personal collection is NOT the same thing.

Exactly I'm selling things I need to get rid off and are very hard for me to do so so I'd sort of like to make some money off of figures that you can't buy anymore for the love of god it's not my fault you can't buy toys from the 80's and 90's in stores anymore shesh.
