Then you would be one of the people that would be suspended due to some complaints I have received against you for this thread.

There are about 6 or 7 members that we keep getting complaints about.

Hah, for what personal attack? I do not believe I used anyones name. Or was it for sticking up for old contributing members of this forum being visciously attacked by noobs with myopic views of the world?

However, if I did indeed launch a personal attack against another poster, by all means, I deserve a suspension as well.

But when someone attacks Seibertron, calling him a scalper, I call for that member being banned. Such a person is not contributing anything of worth here and has no sense of respect or protocol.

Someone needs to take out the trash.

I never mentioned a personal attack.
If someone calls Ryan (or anyone else) a scalper, then I have to say that is their opinion which and people are entitled to their opinions (as long as they do not try to force them on others). This is a subject that like politics and religion, people are passionate about.

And if the "trash" was taken out then a good bit of posters in this thread on both sides would be gone with all of the slamming that has transpired.

Hey guys ... I can stick of for myself! Where was someone calling me a scalper? Has the issue already been dealt with? I'd certainly think that I'm about the farthest thing from a being a scalper. If someone thinks I'm a scalper, then my point is 100% proven about the myth about scalpers.

It's pretty obvious to me who the business entrepreneurs are here and who the people are who don't understand a money making opportunity when they see one. There is NOTHING wrong with making an extra buck or three here and there when an opportunity presents itself. It is not immoral. It is not unethical. If you think it is, then you must think that Hasbro must be immoral and unethical for trying to make a few bucks off folks like us.

I'm arguing the point that there's not much wrong going on here. If buying 3 figures to profit on in 5 years has made me a scalper, then call me a frikkin' scalper.

Ryan it was quite a few pages back.

whoa sensei, that was a few days ago. haha. easy, master. nobody's chukkin' on you now. i for one, ain't calling ya a scalper.

Alright, enough's enough. It seems like we're all just spinning our wheels here.

I have offered time and time again to help you guys beat your area's so-called "scalpers" to the punch. If you want some great advice on how you can use the toy sightings section, then I will be more than happy to help you and show you how you can use the sightings section to work to your advantage. I don't care what State you're in or what city you're in. It doesn't matter if you're in Wyoming or Houston ... it's all the same. My offer is there, let's put an end to this debate that has effectively become pointless.

If you want or need some assistance, please feel free to contact me via PM. Please note that I will not have Internet access over Labor Day weekend due to my move.

Thanks for contributing to this thread everyone.

Believe in the scalper urban legend? Check out this great article this guy wrote that might make you think twice about the scalper myth.

Early bird gets the worm. If you want them bad enough, you'll figure out how to beat other collector's to the punch.

Please keep this conversation civil.

I know what that article reads but I KNOW of two guys that live in the New Orleans area that have a system and hit every store in the mornings (in a certain order) to pick up toys to resell on ebay. One of them was really bad too..
One Wal Mart got wise and stopped putting new items out until after this guy left (I know all the detail police for the wal marts around here and a bunch of employees). They once thought he was stealing because he was in the store every day at a certain time so they actually started watching him (they had his pix in the security office too).

I will say that recently he has backed off, but I still hear reports about him trolling the isles.

Aw man...I'm way too chill nowadays. I don't get upset about forum stuff any more. Additionally, I don't get upset about the following things:

When my dog runs away
about the bills I have to pay
when my mom smokes pot, hits the bottle, then goes right to the rock.
