    BC is doing a promotion where if his Twitter hits 3k followers by the time CVL happens thus are throwing in a 9.8 of the Red Foil WDD to one lucky CVL customer.

    So if you are on Twitter and not following @bigclutch then you are losing out! He is sitting at 2999 atm!

    I'm gonna wait till he hits 3k then unfollow him...push him back to 2999

    Finally got my "switch or else" email from eBay.

    Or else it is.  Suck it, eBay.

    I got an email from them yesterday stating that since I hadnt signed up for their managed payments I can no longer list new sale items. (They sent the switch or else email back in July)  I listed new items today so who knows when they really will turn off my account to new listings.

    Fair point.  I have only been back collecting for a few years and this was the first time I have seen limited items go through my shop.  They all knew me as their die hard #1 TWD fan and were great to me with extras and such.  But they wanted $300 for the Gold (was selling on eBay for $150-$200) and $100 for the Silver - just outrageous prices and I think trying to get some fan to fall for it.

    So yes, LCS have been hurting due to the pandemic like a lot of small businesses so I see how going for a quick profit is good for them.  And I guess they will be suspicious selling below market that people are going to flip it.  @Sensei Ryan passed on the Gold and Silver at his local shop.  The guy who bought the Gold flipped it to eBay from his car at a 50% price uplift.  So yeah, no easy answer here IMO.

    Yeah no easy answer.  I was of the mindset that the 100% profits of these limited foils needed to stay with the shops. I totally get if they wanted to sell them at a discount or even give them away if they choose. But the small shops that are hurting need all the help they can get.

    I would put a strong wager that your shop posted them onto eBay.  There were 60 Gold Foil posts up before they even went on sale to the public.  Shop owners me off.

    It’s possible they did but I’m okay with it. They are a very small shop and typically dont do much eBay business at all. I do hope they made good money on them as those profits just help the store. They’ve always treated me right since I opened a pull box with them back in 2001. So if they made out selling on eBay good on them.
