Of what?
money......
Of what?
You know what's really sad about this whole thing......even with the low ES, most of us who really wanted one of these could have gotten one....if only SS had waited until AFTER the PPO's to announce the ES. Most flippers wouldn't have thought twice about ordering one of these if they didn't know the ES beforehand. Good grief, how many times does SS wait weeks or even month's before finally announcing an ES? In this instance they decide to announce the ES knowing full well that the vast majority of the dio's are allocated for the day before most of us have a chance at one ourselves.
You are absolutely correct, if Sideshow had not announced the ES, the Scalper Scum would have stayed in their trailer parks but now they will going to the nearest public library to use the internet to get one to flip and pay for next month's utilities.
I wouldn't be so quick to start throwing around insults like that, especially being the new member that you are. All of the 'scalper scum' that you're referring to are for the most part upstanding members on this board, as well as Ebay and are FAR from living in trailer parks. Also, I've been given quite a few deals from 'scalper scum' on stuff that I've missed out on. I'll guarantee that it'll never happen for you if you keep making posts like that.
Obviously I'm being extra nasty as a joke, but seriously I think that there is something unseemly about buying something that you do not want and that you know someone else wants (maybe someone you are friendly with here on the forum) and then turn around and sell it on ebay to possibly that same person for a lot more.
true maybe a lot of us on the wait list will get a shot but i'd rather have it get sold out and get on the waitlist before everybody finds out there's only 300 and instead of being near the front of the list because i wanted the piece no matter the es now i might be in the middle or back of a much longer list.
i guess we'll see on friday.
I totally understand where you're coming from on this, but I couldn't beat 'em, so I joined 'em.
