Jerry, what about this suggestion for further PCS exclusives:

- You make only character that are less popular (I think Reptile was a too popular char for a PCS EX).
- You set up a low ES (50-100 maximum) which is fix so you can sell all of them for sure, but
- you also ask for a higher price, for example 500-600 USD for each. So a bit lower than the going rate of private commissions.

Advantages imo:

- This makes sure that flippers won't buy, because to make profit they have to keep in mind the higher price + the Ebay fees + the PayPal fees + the buyer has to be willing to pay for the shipping. So it would be much more difficult for them to sell it and make profit (with only 280 USD it's rather attractive, because the risk for them is too low).
- It is still more attractive and cheaper to get these kind of chars from you than doing private commissions.
- Due to the higher sell-price it's still attractive for you too.
- Also all people that really want these characters have a much better chance in obtaining it.

Till now I was lucky with the Black Chun-Li, the PCS EX Sagat and now Reptile. But I am always afraid that I might miss Alex or the next SF or MK PCS EX of characters rather unpopular or unknown that I still would like to add to my collection.

I would rather pay more to you, than later to a flipper in that case!

Just an idea... don't beat me up please fellow collectors

I have to agree reptile was too popular of a character to be an exclusive, unlike alot of lucky people I managed to miss out. Which was kinda of dissapointing since umk 3 was one of my first fighting games. Any estimates how much would this piece be on ebay later on or even if it will be there cus I might just have to buy it from there.

I don't think we should pay twice as much just to avoid flippers.

agreed, kind of just cuts out the middleman. instead of paying hiked prices later we pay them upfront...and in all likelyhood most people would still have to pay them as lets be honest if they can buy a statue for $600 and sell it for $1200 they'll still do it
