Exclusive Cap PF just sold for $430!!

[Khev]

....specially with the recent Death of Cap. story.

And then just wait until the trailer for the 2009 Cap movie hits theaters in late 2008.

the quantitiy is limited to two, and I assume he and his brother both ordered two!

Fast post before my edit. I got one for myself but if I were someone like Darth Loki on a waitlist, I'd be pissed.

 

[kodiak8658]

the ex. is limited to 2 and the more experimented freaks have different ways to get more than the maximum you can order.

Not very fair to those on the waitlist, eh?

 

[Boba Fett]

Meh! I got on the wait list to see if I can score one.

 

[SKARY]

I see the price on the Capn Exc. to hold steady above retail and I feel with his death in the comics this "WELL" may dry up quicker than we think!!!!!!! Of course that's just my opinion!!!!!

 

[Asura]

The death of Cap really hasn't done much in terms of generating more revenue/interest for Cap stuff on the secondary market. Even the 'death' comics have come down in price.

why is it not fair? the limit is specifically for 2. I got 2, and my brother got 2. It is all legit.

Ideally no. Then again, neither is breaking up one piece into its parts and selling those or buying piece you have a feeling will be worth something down the line and keep it out of the hands of a true fan only to sell it to them for triple the price in a few months. Tis the way of the game, all is fair is Love War and Collectibles. If you want it bad enough you'll pay for it, no sense in condemning those who help that idea along because if it weren't true or successful then people wouldn't still be doing it. No rules were broken, no harm done. Still got my fingers crossed on an Exclusive conversion but if not I'll be going here before heading to the Bay.

Didn't you just say you have four coming? Just because you have your brother purchase 2 for you, doesn't make it right. Here's a word you may have never heard....Ethics. If you're going to be shady, at the very least, don't brag about it.

really all depends on how long Marvel keeps Cap dead.
I kinda doubt it will be very long.
.. just need to see the timeline on this Marvel Marketing Ploy

 

[The Mike]

Hmmmm.....this thread is getting more interesting.....


I don't think he'll stay dead for long maybe a year at most then the return will be a little more drawn out and he'll dawn the cowl again just in time for the new film.

Next time you can have your mom, dad, uncle, grandpa, grand ma, great grand ma, uncle rico all call in a order for an army of Caps. Call it mission GrEedBay

just playin with ya.

I still think the vast majority of wait list reservations will convert for this. The exclusive is the best they've made for any PF but it still isn't Cap's definitive look. If you just want a museum piece of Cap's iconic suit there's nothing wrong with missing out on the exclusive. I do think that now is the time to be reserving your order for a regular with an online retailer before those all sell out though.

Ethics? says the person that sold a Mummy PF for wayyyyyy above the retail price.

Where I myself sold for retail to a friend here in the board.

Just so we are clear, I stated I have 4 coming, but did not mention anything about selling them over price *wink wink*

edit: i did not mention anything either about selling them.

Nothing wrong with purchasing the limit of 2. Buy one, sell one. But if I really wanted to, I could get 10 of my relatives to purchase two each for me. Now I have 22. Is that fair to the collector wanting one for his collection and now is on a waitlist hoping it will convert? Hell no. Again the signs of the ME generation that will eventually unravel our society. Believe it.

Oh Toe as if you'll keep all four for yourself. lol

And trust me if you do there is intent to sell it for more than what you purchased it for. But yeah, don't brag about it as some people do feel that is shady. I personally could careless, because I am getting a Cap, and I haven't had an itchy butt in ages. All you need is fibre man!

We've had this discussion for ages...it will never change....Personnaly it never bothered me...i'm not jealous of others ingeniusity...if one can get 4 caps ...good for him..he still pays for them and still have ordered them when the newsletter came out...Those who missed him are a bunch of arrivist to the game (french word for new-b)....
