Well, at least I have never seen anything go for more. OVer $1000 for a single (chariot sized) model. Now there is something for Otterman to work on... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... K:MEWAX:IT |

They provided the means for people to obtain the items they were after, and it was fair that they added a markup. Now we've got eBay, it's the website that provides the means to obtain the items people are after, and eBay rightly profits from it. So tell me what value dickheads like huntiktradingcards add. They buy stuff we could already get hold of and sell it for 10x the price. at the same outlet! They are worse than ticket touts. At least ticket touts provide disorganised people with a means for obtaining tickets close to an event. All resellers do is slowly strangle the hobby by putting prices out of reach of normal people. The sad thing is they wouldn't exist if there was nobody buying their items, so there must be an awful lot of thick people in the world. /rant. ehem. as you were. Apologies if I have got the wrong end of the stick, but I find this quite ironic considering you have been reselling Forge World Warhounds on eBay. With a carefully worded item description to suggest that these are no longer available without explicitly stating so. Unless it is not the same elsmore? Don't get me wrong, I don't really have a problem with doing it, but perhaps the moral high ground is occupied by someone else

Re-sellers add value (sort of)... Let's say 'Mr_I_dont_know_the_market' wants to sell an 'Epic-El-Rareo-Tanko' he picked up when he was a kid. It goes up for auction and the top bid from a hobbyist is $50. A 'Mr_reseller' then tops the bidding by paying $55. Mr_I_dont_know_the_market gets $55, better than $50!!! Mr_reseller then puts the tank on the market for $75. It takes a while to sell but eventually Mr_I_love_rare_tanks happily pays $75. (Mr_I_love_rare_tanks was otherwise engaged during the original auction). This process is old as cheese. The re-seller takes risk and gets a better deal for the original seller. They address the problem of buyer scarcity. The big difference between now and olden times is that eBay has vastly diminished the value that re-sellers add, but they still provide a service. They make life better for the original seller (at the expense of the buyer). |
