I hate sellers who bid on eBay!

Post by mondofeo »

Well not all of them.

I hate those sellers who bid on eBay whom I know will resell those that they bid on by retail.

Well mostly because they have deeper pockets. LoL!

yes some of them are a right pain in the arse! you see quite a few names re-occur and you know they are a seller.i occasionally get rid of extras(you'll currently see me selling a few q force vehicles and a cosmic cruiser,plus some single figures and a load of none af figures),but only because i have better ones and i ordered the figures in a collection just for 2 out of 20-odd figures! i,like you buy mine to keep and am fed up with same dodgy folk re-appearing.303acidbox is good though and he is always selling and buying

I see some of them have eBay stores & will resell them for $10 each or something.

Oh well.....just ranting along. :shadow:

I am assuming you are talking about the dubious practice of "Scalping" here? Buying up as many of a particular product as possible in order to assure it is in short supply, then hike the prices up as far as possible, knowing that some people are desperate enough to pay the asking to complete a collection?
Come have a look at some of my custom action figures:

theres nothing more anoying when a auction comes up you get out bid at the last minute only to find the winning bidder has relisted exactly the same item for more a few days later once delivery has been made admittedly if i win a auction which is of better quality than my current specimin i will sell the worse example to try to redeam some of the expense as my pockets are definatly not deep
