    Why are Ebay seller's prices sooo inflated on G1 Transformers?? I see soooo many junk examples for sale on Ebay of G1 Transformers, and the seller wants top dollar. Its ridiculous. I can go to one of the local vintage toy stores in my city and pick up a G1 Transformer in amazing condition for 1/4 the price. Personally, I blame it on people like Wheeljackslab (ebay name), who grossly inflate the prices and have huge selections to corner the market.

    I blame it on folks like Wheeljackslab and sellers who aren't knowledgeable about Transformers outside of knowing the can be valuable and picking the highest price then can see for the figure they are selling and not considering any condition issues.
