I see the ebay scalpers are trying their hardest to keep mexiGokus price up by putting up preorders of sdcc Goku at highly inflated prices too. These people are scum, that is all [emoji38]

I think it's important to distinguish here what separates a scalper from someone that just sells their figures for the going rate. Scalpers (these a**holes), try to jack up the price as much as possible from the get-go. The market doesn't even get a chance to determine what the figure should be "valued" at. Even once the figure has started selling for the asking price (some ridiculous number), they then try to jack it up even more using shill bids and the like or just straight up charging more to see if people will still bite. A collector that happens to charge at or just under the going rate (usually a rate established by scalpers) is very different. There is no ill-intent and they simply want to get the most money's worth out of their figure.
I thought it'd be appropriate to clear up the difference between these two types of people. I've seen on other forums where people call you a scalper simply because you won't sell the figure for retail price (duh, who in their right mind would if it's going for more than that). I've never seen such a travesty in this aspect until this MexiGoku came out just in sheer price.
