I do my homework and don't pay $1000 for $1 items.
This is also not Amazon. In some of the things I collect, I have overpaid to be at the front of the line. When the items sell out, I am still guaranteed my copy or sample of the item. If I want to play the wait and guess game, there is a chance I am going to lose out. If the item becomes available at a cheaper price and I seek a refund from the original seller, I lose my relationship with that vendor. I do not want to risk that so I fulfill my buying commitments.
Case in point. I own a sample of a cancelled Snake Eyes GI Joe figure. It was produced in VERY limited sample quantities and there were rumors floating around that the entire wave would be cancelled. I picked one up a premium knowing the risk that if the figures made it to retail I paid a larger sum for what was at the time a $5 figure. The wave was indeed cancelled. I now own a figure that is far more valuable than I bought it for.
Two years ago I bought ANOTHER Snake Eyes figure that was supposed to be in short supply as it was an exclusive. I paid a premium to get the figure. The figure was released and then others were selling it for less. That was the chance I took.
This thing of ours. This comic book hobby is not Amazon, it is not Macy's it is not Walmart. We deal in appreciating and depreciating values. I don't get to buy things on eBay and then tell a seller the book did not appreciate, I want my money back. I do not get to tell a buyer after I sell them a book that they just made a movie announcement, I want more money for the book I shipped out to yesterday.
Rebel... please provide me your eBay ID so I may block you. I am easily found on eBay. It is the same name I use here. I will tell you the same thing I told someone last week who wanted to place an order with me. I do not want to do business with you. Your money is no good to me.
