    I think Master Collector should look into shutting down these auctions. Dont think its fair to the people who are gonna go.

    This guy seems to have set after set up for auction how can that be? Sounds like abuse.........

    Good plan. He gets to go to the show for free and the winning bidder gets all the exclusives for a reasonable price. Win/win.

    Been up for atleast a week. Seems odd, is he buying loads of primus packages then? If so, are you really allowed to do that?...

    It would not be such a big deal if he waited at least till the week of the con but this is a little shady.

    I've been seeing auctions for the set pretty much since the day after the registration form went up.
    I dunno if it's been the same guy all along, but it's beyond stupid either way. Why pay this jackass $350 when you can still order the non-attendee set for $265/$315?

    He's banking on the hopes that some people don't know about the non-attendee packages. As for MC to shut down the auction, he's not doing anything illegal. He has every right to buy the set and then resell it. And I think he is using different people to buy the sets. Like have his brother buy a set and his dad, etc etc. I don't think MC allows more than one person to buy a boxed set and a loose set but you can have your entire family buy a set each. It's shady but no more shady than any other scalper buying stuff and jacking up the price on ebay.
