Ever hear the statement "One man's trash is another man's treasure?" So you think Superion Maximus is only worth $25. Fine. Good luck finding one for that, as the law of supply and demand has caused it to be worth way more than that, even loose/complete. That's what happens in a free market economy. People control the prices. Most people will pay around $40-50 for one (loose complete) or ~$70 (Sealed) because it's harder to find. They'll pay more just to have one.

Here's another example... Going right back to my Supreme Starscream. I was offered $25 plus shipping for it. I go onto ebay and see what it's going for. I see one LOOSE going for $61 plus $15 shipping with DAYS to go. 10 bids, last I checked. I paid $30 for mine. If I decide to list mine on ebay and I end up getting $61 for it, am I a bad person? No. Am I a scalper? No.

And another one, just because I can. G1 Megatron. Retailed for ~$20-30 in 1984. Inflation puts it at around ~$30-40 if it retailed today under the same conditions. However, a MI(S)B Megatron consistantly goes for more than $100. Are those people that pay that bad people? No. Do they support scalping? Probably not.

Need I continue? RID Scourge, KB Bludgeon and Scourge, BM Primal Prime, TRU Reissue Prime, and the Botcon 2007 exclusives feel like they need mentioned.

Prime came in a box, not a card.

 

I am only wrong with 3 or 4 people that don't "Drop It" I love it how people care about defending some guy they don't even know..Give it up already!

 

Give it up?


...eh, whatever, guy. Carry on.

 

Nice this really has nothing to do with this one auction...but thanks for the info...Once again my opinion...

 

Why? You're the one that doesn't know what he's talking about. Squirrelcar is one of the most intelligent members here. If anyone knows what's going on, it's him.

 

Like I said 3 or 4 people are the one's that says how much something is?


That's priceless.....  Live outside the E-Bay Box Dude

 

Look at the completed auctions. Ask ANYONE here what a Superion Maximus is worth. They'll give you the same answer we gave, we're just the only ones that give a damn.

Where's Draven when you need him? Or Jux, for that matter... MMM?

 

FINISH HIM! lol


they need to make a kelly's blue book for transformers........

ok superion maximus is up at loan value price in fair to good condition....... he should be up at SALE value price for good to excellent condition lol

 

Like I said just because some people buy him for $60 and I can go to some flea market etc. and buy him for $25-30 compared to spending $60 on E-Bay..That doesn't make sense...I live outside the E-Bay Box I don't always run to E-Bay to buy shit...I don't have to I have others sources.

So just because I could/would buy him for cheaper that doesn't sit well with people....WOW!

 

i dont.........

so i guess i will continue to promote the evil ebay gestapo's agenda...........sorry i cant "fight the power"  

 

Well don't start bashing me because I can find it cheaper! Isn't that what most collector's want to do? Find it cheaper?

Don't get me wrong if the price is right I'll go to "Evil-Bay" too but if it's too high then I pass

 

You're the one that accused the seller of being a scalper because you can find it cheaper. Maybe I can't? Maybe most people can't? He's asking fair ebay value for an item on ebay. Who would have thought? For the record, I do 95% of my dealing in the Junkion or in retail stores. I just run to ebay for price checks.

 

And you have to admit it that sometimes when 1 of an item is on E-Bay is goes for $$$ next time there is 5 of them and the prices goes down.And then if someone buys and item and pays $$$ for it he then re-lists it for higher to re-coop his money. I e-mailed the seller and that was why it was so high.

 

I have more than a little trouble believing this.

 

You know I don't really care what you believe...go away

 

Wow, you just explained the concept of supply and demand which, consequently, drives free-market capitalism and eBay auctions. Congratulations on discovering the wonderful world of economics. You can go places with that kind of knowledge.

 

Thanks added with a touch of sarcasm I should go a long way.

 

Haven't we been trying to explain that since page 1?

Too bad none of the staff visits here... This is just gonna go down hill from here (and we're already at the bottom of the hill)

 

soundblaster, how old are you? if you answer this question right(there is no wrong answer here), either way, it would explain alot.

also, if you can get this toy cheaper,good for you. heres your prize-"NOBODY CARES"

 

It wouldn't have gone downhill if all of you didn't "Pile" on

OK that's how some people do things...
