I picked up this guy the other night... he is a heavy remold of Twinferno I believe. so then is he the same size(deluxe?)

 

Yep same size, both deluxes

 

Can't believe I'm jumping headfirst into this dumpster fire of a "conversation", but here goes

"Bu-bu-bu-but aren't you still technically scalping that water then?"
REALLY?! That's your awesome solution to entice people to 'stop being a scalper'? Standing on the side of the road for days like some jag and selling water as if that's a 100% foolproof moneymaking scheme?? Not even considering:
-the weather conditions. Too hot/too cold outside/rain/snow/frostbite/heatstroke/etc
-time (as in "complete and utter waste of")
-pretty sure police/the IRS won't take to kindly to your unauthorized/unlicensed business practice, and standing out there for days makes you quite visible
-customer bought your water, and by coincidence got food poisoning that same day and started puking his guts out. Now he blames you for it and sues you for everything you own. Whoops, there goes dem profits! 'Merica.
-you just look like a knob

Look, I despise scalpers as much as the next collector (ie. those buying up entire store stock and trying to flip at crazy mark-ups), but clearly Rated X is hell-bent on labelling anyone who re-sells/makes even the slightest profit a scalper. Pretty sure when people buy extras to flip (and maybe @lordsmurf can back me up on this one) is because of the convenience factor. You're there buying one anyways, why not pick up a second knowing it can net you a little bit of extra pocket change. Sure beats the indignity of standing on the side of the road.

Yes, it literally is just you who thinks this water bottle biz a great idea. Everyone please stop responding to this guy, best to just ignore at this point (gonna take my own advice) #themoreyouknow

 

Can you guys make a separate thread on scalping please , good lord I have to stop watching this thread because of it .

 

Getting my Grotusque tomorrow. Whoo hoo!!!!
 

 

This is hilarious to read...

So far I counted like 3 guys who said “I’m not a scalper. I hate scalpers! All I do is buy 1-2 extra of a hot, in demand toy to sell later at a slightly higher cost than retail.”

 

That actually wouldn't be scalping. If he was buying them to immediately flip (while they're hot/in demand) for a significantly higher cost, that would be scalping. Of course, while meeting the technical definition, if it's a common mass-release toy, it's difficult to refer to that as scalping with a straight face.

 

At this point, I keep expecting someone to post a pic of a Firecon wielding a hatchet trying to literally scalp Grotusque.  

 

I agree..I buy extra one to keep it in sealed box. And maybe flip it in 20 yrs.. that's not.scalping...lol

 

Yeah, that happens a lot. Interests and/or plans change, and that custom you thought you were going to do ends up being an extra figure, and hey! It actually sells for more than you paid for it.

 

Noice! Post some pics with Doublecross ..please?  

 

Will try, been having problems loading pics with my phone.  

 

LOL! Watching the tracking on receiving this guy! Leaves Ohio, travels to New York, is now in Connecticut, just to come back to me in New York on Friday!  

 

Same thing happened to me except it started in Ohio, then to Kentucky, and then it went on down to Georgia.   Regardless, I was originally supposed to recieve my package on the 16, but now it says the 13, so yay!

 

Aww, its alright buddy. Take your time, man.  :

 

Thanks bro.  

 

Hey np.  
Even Hasbro Asia is not getting TR Grotusque out here where I am..so I have not choice but to import.  

 

This. Sometimes you win, sometimes you dont. Why should not having the chance to get toys affect your daily responsibilities? madness I say.

 

That truly sucks dude.
