Well... on ebay or somewhere maybe so, but this is a community, why should we stand by and just let things like that slide?

I do not feel Endurs03 has bad intentions and wish him the best in his future transactions. Even so...

Speaking from my POV here, as a fan and collector you see a lot of scalping around the internet, i've resorted to buying from some myself (heck I've paid $25 for figures that arrived with $6.50 price tags from ROSS, a discount retailer, still stuck on them!!!), and I feel like it's something that brings down the hobby.

When you walk into a Toys R Us and see a wall of bumblebees and none of the figures you actually want to buy, it's about half because of other fans (a lot being kids, of course), and the rest because of people who buy up the good stuff to turn a profit on it. I personally find it reprehensible.

(and yeah hasbro gets some of the blame in this case as well :p)
