Can we please stop normalising paying $50 for a wrestling figure? Please?
Pay your rent, pay your phone bill, make sure there’s food in the fridge, petrol in your car, buy your wife/girlfriend/husband/boyfriend something nice, take your Mum out for tea, even buy a homeless guy a sandwich but for the love of GOD don’t pay $50 for one of these things

Yes being a moc collector should I buy it or leave it? I think you should pass, 1 inch crease is far too much damage...I'm sure you could find one without dust on it.

How much is he asking for? $50 for the figure and $8 for shipping I don't know if I would call him a friend if he is charging you 3x retail

Gotta go for it. You can look for a better one and flip the current one.

Value is relative for everyone. There are a lot of people who can afford to drop $50 and not think twice, though I don't think most people buying wrestling figures fall in that category. And just because you can doesn't mean you should, or want to.
I love collecting, but at the end of the day I'm content to wait on a figure that just came out and spend the difference going out to dinner or buying tickets to an event. Maybe I'll get the figure at retail, maybe I'll never add it to my collection - that's a chance I'm willing to take. But to each their own.

$50 is too much for a single figure. I will never add Ohno or Dunne to my collection, and I’m okay with that. I spend most of my money now on records.
