I don't really get why the sellers are always vilified for charging what people believe to be an unacceptable amount of money but the buyers get no criticism/attention at all for paying it.

Yeah, I agree with this. If I ever sell my XM Magneto for example I'll probably check recent sold ones and price it similar.

However when he brings up scalpers pretty much(someone creating multiple accounts or using family members to get around the rules, ect.) then yeah that's kind of a scumbag move lol. Then there's good old Sean Sanders, receiving an Ex Thanos on Throne and pretending it didn't have an Ex portrait so he could get another for free...

Sounds like I will be electing you to one of my cabinet positions my friend! We will ban high prices and do away with pesky margins. Your only reward will be the knowledge that you worked hard while receiving the same as everyone else. On second thought, kick back and relax type of administration. We are all gonna get our fair share anyways. Free head for all! I know I'm a big fan.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

I don't like it, but I'm sure they'll get at least 50% of that somewhere down the road.

They probably set the price that high just so they can bargain with some schmuck, who will be that desperate for the EX Head and when they sell it for less, the buyer won't complain.

I was not thinking about the internet for head. But then again, that's a whole different topic for a whole after hours conversation. Since you can't use money for advancement, need to consider other ways of getting aHead.

I sold my Powergirl and Dark Phoenix Ex head both for around $200 when the statues came out. Knocked my cost down by half for Powergirl and $300 for Dark Phoenix.

I'll put it this way...Why would I want to sell the EX head to my EX statue which essentially devalues the whole thing? Now if someone was willing to pay the whole statue price for the ex piece, I'm probably selling it. Free statue in the end.

yep agreed. The statue is not complete with ex parts sold. It just feels incomplete or danmagfe with missing parts imo.
