how much should I pay for Cynder on ebay? [CLOSED]

Hi everyone.

I just bought the triple Pack F and Empire Oof Ice.

But I can't find a Cynder under 34$

I know she's very rare so I decided to put my max limit on 20$ but is this enough? (include shipping 30-35 $)
What do you think? How much should I spend on her?

ps:I'm not really a collector but there are 3 Skylanders I would pay a higher price for than regular and these are Cynder, Sunburn and Camo.

Honestly? Don't.

Try your luck with an online store. I believe theres a zoolert thread someone made that said how to do it so you can keep checking sites to see when they have her in stock.

I got lucky and found Cynder at gamestop's online store. All in all I paid about $14 for everything; ordered on Friday, got it Monday.

I think I would wait and pay retail for her. My daughter wants Cynder very much and says that next to Hex she'll be her favorite figure of them all.

Even thought she wants it desperately, and as a doting daddy I want her to have it just as much, we're both willing to wait for her.

Personally I wouldnt pay more than around $12 plus shipping on a figure. It really boils down to how much you want it. Humans as said in another thread here are an impatient lot as a whole. There are likely to be more Cynders released in the last wave with the new characters. You can suck it up and wait since you are going to be forced to wait on the last two of your "want" list anyways. Or you can slap down the cash now assuming you don't want to do the ritual hunting of major retailers like some people have done.

I'm from Germany. To buy things from the US I only have PayPal. eBay is the only place I know they accept it.

No brick and mortar stores in Germany that will get these eventually? I mean, if you have no avenues I recommend you make friends with someone on these boards to pick it up for you rather than give in to the scalper greed.

I'm sure that at retail with shipping you'll save money in the end.

Again you can be impatient and over pay now, or ride the storm until it calms down and pay a reasonable retail price.

Cynder was on gamestop yesterday in the triple pack for $19.99. Gamestop is really reliable. I paid $2 for it to come in 11 days and instead the skylander came in 6 days.

Phoenix, preorder from Amazon? Sure, you may have to wait, but you'll be paying retail prices... Wait, looks like they've filled their quotas already...

HMV!

£8 for the figure, £2.50 to ship to Germany.

£10.50 in total, making about 12.61 euros smilie

I already preordered at the beginning of January and it was cancelled. And I'm tired of waiting....
I don't care about paying more than the regular price. I just wanted to know (if someone here's a coolector or something) how much money Cynder is worth.

I would say, as much as you're willing to pay. Personally, no matter how much I want a figure, I don't want to pay much more than retail price, even if it means I have to wait

Cynder is worth whatever it is your willing to pay.

I got one on ebay for around 28 with shipping. I also got one from gamestop for 19 with shipping. Had I knew the gamestop was going to have 2, I would have gotten them both from there, but I won the ebay auction first. oh well, I got the figure for me and a buddy so were happy.

I, personally would have waited until I found it in the store, but I had a time constraint so paying a little more didnt bother me. I would try to find int in an online store and try not to go over 20. Check for auctions that end at 09:00 am PST. Best time to snag a win for the cheap.

I would just wait to buy her in the store. I've seen her 3 different times now, but still haven't gotten her because I have seen her pretty frequently recently.

But, if I were to rate her rarity and price it right this second. I would say I wouldn't pay more than $25 for the rarest Skylander.

Just wait one week and buy it on Gamestop. Gamestop has it in stock online for one day every week.

What's a good price?
However much you want to pay.

She's $8-10 retail, and shipping is anywhere from $3-6.

$20 shipped would be my personal limit for a single-pack skylander, but everyone has their own opinions.

Last rumor I heard for Cynder in the three pack was Lightning Rod/Cynder/Zook. She should only be available as a single currently.

I bought Cynder from GameMaster on here for only $16. and that includes shipping. So dont give up and dont pay the ridiculous amounts they want on ebay! you can always find someone on here who can find you one while theyre trying to get one, or you can just find it in stores yourselves.

Wave 3 is starting to show up more and more in my area's stores, so dont give up!!

Thank you for the advice. I found one on ebay which ends tomorrow. At the moment she's 9$. If I don't get her I will ask someone around here.

To recap.

How much should you pay? Retail.

How much will you pay? Whatever you think it is worth - you can wait longer and pay less or pay more and get it now. The choice is yours and yours alone.

I meant single pack for $9.99. While I was typing that I was thinking about a triple pack on gamestop so I accidently wrote triple pack.
