Actually I have a sale thread here, had it up since October 2010, and have sold just about nothing on it. So it's not like I didn't try getting the stuff sold, just seemes no one wants what I've got.

MFW a sale for Amaricans is 7$ and their full prices for deluxes is 10$.

Well full price is 12-13 now. But yes, I understand your jelly. It sucks that prices are so crazy in some places.

In Asia full price is $22US Sale is around $13US... just got DOTM Starscream and Barricade on sale at a local supermarket. Been meaning to pick them up since DOTM came out...

You haven't tried ebay? I mean, people that want to sell here mostly sell for more reasonable prices, because they're selling from collector to collector (in principal at least), but it's not the best way to move stuff. Ebay is a good way to move stuff you simply don't want around, and there's usually a few people that'll want what you have.

Also, I don't recall ever seeing your thread, you need to bump it once in awhile so people see it.

Don't bother trying to help this person. They clearly just like to make things more difficult for themself so they can complain about their woes. Only uses cash, only buys Deluxe class, won't use eBay... it's ridiculous. I've never heard of someone creating so many self-imposed rules to limit their own enjoyment of a hobby they chose, and then complaining that it's someone else's fault. It's Hasbro's fault they can't get the figures they want because Hasbro doesn't make a Deluxe version of every figure and ensure they can all be bought locally for cash. It's OUR fault they can't sell anything because they put up a sale thread on a forum and no one is buying.

Maybe I should go buy you some Midol, in every size available, and put it up on eBay so you can start collecting that? You seem to need it, Badly.

I'm not limiting my own enjoyment buy buying Only deluxes, and why do you even care, or let it get YOU riled up if that's all I want to collect? I CLEARLY stated my reasons for not wanting Voyager class figures, if you can't comprehend that then so be it. I'm not telling you how to collect, so why do you care how I collect? You're the only one that seems bothered by it.

And, for the record, if you read my reply correctly, it said "just seems no one wants what I've got", or, in other words, the stuff I have is not in demand, so no one seems to want it. Where is that blaming other people for anything? I tried selling, it didn't work, so what?

I really, Really dislike eBay, and I can't stomache paypal. I just don't buy/sell using either.

When I originally put up my sale list, I used the other threads here and on tfw2005 to get an idea of what the prices should be, so wether they're higher or lower compared to everyone else currently I don't know. Haven't updated/edited the list in months. Just lost interest, especially since there was nothing TF related I wanted to buy (stores were still flooded with Animated and Movie garbage). Now that I'm just getting into prime it may be time to reedit and see what's what price wise. But since I don't deal with paypal, that was always an issue with buyers.

I was a little wary of Paypal at first but now that I've used it a bit, I'm quite happy with the service. Granted, it's not a good service for express payments if you need to pull your money from your Paypal to something in your hand, but if you link it to a Checking account that has a Credit/Debit card, you never need to worry about getting money to your Paypal. Also, Paypal > Paypal transfers are basically instantaneous. Preferably, you should choose a bank with free checking as well.

Furthermore, you can often use your Paypal to pay bills and such online. If you're worried about losing money to a hack or something similar, keep a eye on how much is in your checking and Paypal accounts combined at any given time; there's no fee for withdrawing money from a bank (just make sure you watch the minimum balance for the account).
