Fun fact:
$40, the price that it went for, is the same price that they are over here, in the land of overpriced items.
I don't normally defend scalpers, but I will brief you about this seller.
I am the reason he sold those for 40. He was selling them higher. Infact, he sold the first two for 50+. I sent him a message asking if he would sell the last 3 for 100 + 10 shipping (well worth it to avoid going to TRU on day 1, which I hate due to how bad scalping is at my local store and I don't want to clock someone in their grill for pushing me... again). He got back with me, and we agreed to 120, free shipping, and he would ship them out faster to me, instead of waiting 4 days after the auction ends, like originally stated.
I then asked the seller about hooking me up with Legendary Bouncer. I need 3. He got back with me and told me the auctions were up for him. He was selling a set amount for 75.00 each. Some people bought them. HOWEVER, he and I agreed the night before to 3 at 29 each, and he would ship them along with my Legendary 3-Pack on the same day. So, I paid a 13 dollar markup for the Legendary Triple Packs, and a 13 dollar markup on the Legendary Bouncers.
He is actually a pretty cool person to deal with, despite scalping these. It's odd for me to say it, but it was pleasant doing business with him, and I told him to hit me up when he gets L-Stealth Elf and L-Chill in early.
I wouldn't have done this, had it not been for the fact there is a scalper family in my city, that has this air-tight system and they aren't afraid to have their children/grandchildren push adults - knowing adults won't push back - to get what they can for their grandmother and grandfather. Quite pathetic if you ask me.
In anycase, this person hooked me up. I get my 3 Legendary 3-Packs and Bouncers in the next couple of days, and he was willing to lower the price for me, for buying more than 1.
I don't condone super scalpers, but this guy was willing to work with me a bit. We both got something. He got profit, while I got the convienance of being able to flip TRU the bird come Sunday and I can go straight from Target at 8 am, to Best Buy to pick up wave 1 at 10 am.
I will take pics of the figures when they arrive.
Well he sounds like a really nice guy.Can't wait to see those pics.
