Seriously, let's quit ragging on this guy.....I mean, really who hasn't tried to make a quick dollar on something? If you think you can make some extra cash on something, go for it.
I'm so tired of people jumping down fellow board members throats about "scalping". Seriously, if you want the figure, get up and search for it like the "scalpers" do. First come, first serve. Now granted, I myself probably wouldn't have bought all 9 of those Lesnars, but I'm not going to hate on someone who did. And if your really think about it, Lesnar is packed 3 per case! 3 weeks from now, everyone who wants one will be able to get one for retail or even less.
At the end of the day, scalping is part of this hobby. I myself don't do it much, but I've occasionally picked up a figure for the sole purpose of flipping it for another figure I may need more or for some extra cash. It's not a crime.....And actually, I think scalping adds another element to the hunting game that I personally enjoy. If I were able to walk into every Wal-Mart and find all of the newest figures everytime, I probably wouldn't enjoy the hobby as much. The thrill of the hunt is just as much fun as actually finding what you are looking for if you ask me.

Can I be the first person to put forward a new rule? Rule being, if you've bought more than 3 of the same figure (as some people like 1 for loose and 1 for MOC) then you get redirected to the classifieds or figure finding thread? this section is slowly filling up with people posting pics that have multiples of the same figure, no review of the figure just people pretty much posting a job lot of the same guy and saying if you want one to make an offer. in all fairness this isn't a "Hey guys look at what I just bought" thread this is a classifieds thread. This is NOT a figure findings thread.

wow thats pretty pathetic really, there are probably a bunch of people that would have really liked to find that figure at a store and you wiped it out for no reason. people like you are what make me not want to bother going to retail stores to look for stuff. yea, we all like to make a little extra money, and if i saw that many Brock's at one store I'd pick up 2, with one going into my collection. but good tho, the more brocks are on ebay the less they will sell for, smart move. just flood the aftermarket with them, stuff like that really increases value THIS!!! 9 Brock's??? That sucks for everyone in your area that want that figure.

Still yet to see this set anywhere. Hope he isn't in my area. Be nice if he was dropping them for around retail, but I have a feeling that isn't the case.

Whoa just chill out guys lol 2 are for me MOC and loose 2 are for my best broski another 2 is for a good friend I've made at a flea market we love the WWE and the figures and all 3 of us collect MOC and loose figures so if I have 6 figures for us is it that bad I bought 3 xtras to sell or trade to get items I want?? Plus it's one eve for each of us. So sorry if this post made it seem like a scalper. I was so excited to see such a huge lot of figures and enough for me and my 2 good friends.

Just so you know, nobody is going to believe this. Pretty much anytime someone is called a scalper for something like you did, they come back with this point. I couldn't care less, honestly, but be ready for people to not believe you.

are these even going for much online? Times are tough if he can make a few extra bucks so be it. As long as he isn't going to the store every day and doing it I have no problem.

Some of the people complaining have Ebay stores that rip people off. I'm not gonna say any names but you hypocrites know who you are. On the topic at hand: I grabbed three Lesnars today, and they were $7.99, If you saw that deal you would too. I'm only trading or selling one, the other two are mine. I honestly aren't a dedicated reseller like the real scalpers. I actually work.

You're entitled to do what you want with your money, and I already have an Elite Lesnar, so I'm not looking for one... But that does seem like a bit overkill. He's not short-packed, so the price on him is gonna drop quickly. Might want to unload this right away if that is your plan.

Funny thing is i posted a thread about having an extra Brock(still available) for trade and nobody jumped on that, maybe i should have photoshopped about 50 more lol.

Hopefully scalpers lose money on the Lesnars, given how heavy they're packed and how the same figure isd in the two-pack. Only an idiot would pay stupid money for one. Don't do it, boardies.

I sure hope the OP loses money when selling those figures. Some of the people complaining have Ebay stores that rip people off. I'm not gonna say any names but you Hippocrates know who you are. On the topic at hand: I grabbed three Lesnars today, and they were $7.99, If you saw that deal you would too. I'm only trading or selling one, the other two are mine.
