Sweetie, I can buy the ENTIRE FUCKING SET for $20.
I’ve seen this a lot, and I feel the “target fools” are us, those who are from other places not in the USA (or not in the UK, and the ones anywhere not familarized with internet and are desperate searching).
At least here in the ass of Europe (Spain) we don’t get a lot of the cool stuff and/or we get it so overprized that buying a pack for just a piece from it is not worth it.We don’t even got it easy with the official torsos from mattel… so I’m sure some of the people posting them overprized on ebay were trying to make money from outside people (I had to buy my CAM dolls from people who didn’t look like scalpers and more like someone trying to help, but you never know…).
I’ve got some good deals thanks to amazon ES/FR/DE too, but it’s rare and the better and cheaper stuff is on amazon USA… and shipping is usually insane (IF they even ship here xD).tl;dr -> rant from a frustrated collector from a place where it’s not easy or cheap getting our hands on stuff and it’s fed up with scalpers xD
No, I understand completely- I send stuff all over to people who have no access to store exclusives. In fact, I usually try to pick up extras when they are on sale so as to make them available in case anyone should ask. Believe me, its worth it to post an ISO or WTB here- there are plenty of people who customize or just don’t want the accessories that may be willing to sell them to you. I’ve gotten bits and pieces and even dolls from people, like me, who have extras or parts laying around.
Anyway, it doesn’t hurt to ask before paying scalper prices for like, a pair of shoes or a top.
