http://www.ebay.com/itm/PRE-OR...=item3370310e34

Really now? 109.99

PRE-ORDER PRE-ORDER PRE-ORDER
This listing is for a Triple Pack of Whirlwind, Drill Sergeant & Double Trouble. It is brand new and factory sealed. This is guaranteed no later then January 29th. It will probably ship the 16th, but please allow up to January 29th for the shipment to be made.

Now there is your money grubbing scum right there!

Indeed. I mean if it was like 50$ ehh not to bad I guess but 109.99 come on now. that is just sad. I guess its a good price if you had a six figure job. or your kids are spoiled. But things that that other people see it so they think they can get the same price for it so that is why it goes up.

I play warcraft and do that kinda stuff in the game with items. but its a game real life is messed up. Hell my water bill was cheaper than that for two months.

Who in their right mind would spend that much??

I think the price is not important to that post.
More important is the nearly confirmed release date:

So I guess this means if he ships on 16th he must probably get it January 15th... is that the official date now?

no it just means the seller has no freakin' idea what date in january it will be released

That looks like someone attempting to be opportunistic. They don't know more than us. They don't even have the 10 their selling secured yet either. Again, money grubbing scum.

one word..... evilbay.....

Hmm. Ya know, we could probably all send that user a message telling them that $109.99 is an outrageous price for something that'll be $19.99 in the stores.

You might as well be buying another copy of the game at that price.

This is what I was talking about in another thread I am so sick of people buying all the stock from a store so regular people and Kids especially can't play the game man it P!@#ses me off

I'd laugh so much if the triple pack didn't come out for then and they ended up getting negative feedback.

What is sad about this is that they have sold 2 of them so far. He has made atleast $140 profit.

A lot of people are now selling the new Skylanders. Cynder is $50 bucks so far.

109 dollars my butt

I'm not mad at the resellers but at the stupid people who buy them for their ridiculous prices!
They are buying skylanders for ridiculous prices when they can buy them for they're regular store price the next week.
If they didn't buy them the resellers would see they don't sell at their f@%!ing ridiculous prices!
And because of them the kids won't be able to play with them!
They make me mad!
They have an interest in air and life skylanders idk why but the point is they're making it hard to fully enjoy the game!!!
It took me a month just to find an air skylander!

I sometimes bet these sellers are bidding on their own items to create demand.

I agree, to rediculous to buy. 99.00 custom chopchop my a@$ wanted to try that sensored moment

You aren't allowed to bid on your own items. That's called Shill Bidding and it's against the law.

If thats true then they're just wasting their time and making it hard for people who are actually going to use them to find them!!!
They probably just keep it laying around somewhere unused!
Poor skylanders. They just wanted to be played with not forgotten in a stupid persons home untouched.

Also, the custom Skylanders I have to agree with. Although they may be cool, I'd prefer to have the official product. I wouldn't buy a custom figure, even if it was $7.99.

What if they make different accounts with different information?
You didn't think of that did you?

no I didn't

Different account WOULDN'T work. eBay can track the IP address. However, if a friend is doing it in a different household, then that's untraceable probably.

Well, sellers shouldn't do this. Even if they are, I'm sure there are people who are really interested in these buying them, but my thought is this. You should at least TRY to get the new ones before resorting to eBay. If you can't find them, then if you want to spend the money go ahead, but why rush to pay these prices for them?

Once again... true that

The reason I think people bid on their own items, is because when I was bidding on that Skylanders store display, someone won it out from me at the last second. I kept checking the feedback of the seller, to see if the item arrived to the person, and no feedback was left.

evilbay hahahahahahaha

I hear what you're saying. You could always report that seller for Shill Bidding to eBay, and they'll investigate.

Some people don't leave feedback, but there is some proof P1anet fun

man i'm board nothing to do but post

I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but if you look at feedback, shouldn't that give you some kind of relief? If they have little, then maybe they are doing something like that, but if they have an impressive amount of feedback, don't you think they would know eBay's rules and follow them? This is just my two cents. I could be wrong.

This x1000. I was trying to bid on a plush I wanted and had it go up from like...$5 to $15. I REALLY wanted it, but..lost it last second.

What's not fair is that people ARE paying this much for them. You can sit and blame people selling these things for outrageous prices all day but they're not gonna do anything because they're making money. The people you all SHOULD be directing yourselves at is the ones buying them. Why not send them a courteous message on ebay stating that the prices for them are super outrageous and that they could find them much cheaper in store. If they state they can't find them, you could even work out a deal to get them to the people who want them!

you cant trust feedback at all, sellers have full control. they decide what feedback is accepted, you see they pay evilbay for the usage of evilbay, so evilbay will be on their side if sellers complain. you as a buyer have nothing to say at all, you dont make evilbay money..
