I felt like a scalper today.

Well, if you read my haul thread, you'd know that I bought some SW OTC figs today, only to find the suburst versions later for $5 cheaper each. I decided I was going to open the figs, so I returned the ones I bought and went to Zellers to grab the other ones.

Since they were so much cheaper, I decided to get some more. So in the end, I got the 4 Degobah figures, Vader, a Stormtrooper, and Boba Fett. 7 figures. Needless to say, walking through the store with a basket full of Star Wars figures made me feel like a scalper.

And when I got into line, a woman and her son in front of me were blatantly whispering about me. I felt like calling the kid on it, but I've got no balls and didn't want to start shit.

Oh well, now I have 7 figures for $4 more than I paid for 4.

that has nothign to do with scalper-ing, so feel good [img]wink.gif[/img]

and fuck that little shit and his hoe-ass momma! [img]redface.gif[/img] [img]wink.gif[/img]

I understand how you felt. Same thing happened to me last week when I found a new arrival of ML6 and I bought only the "hard to get" one (deadpool, jug and Phoenix). I bought those because I already had the others but I felt strange none the less.

I know it had nothing to do with scalping, but I can't stand the idea of people thinking bad about me, even if I don't know them and will never see them again.

You shouldn't feel like a scalper, it's not like you had 10 of the same figure in your cart.
Some people don't understand that people actually collect these for themselves [img]wink.gif[/img]

The most figures I've bought at one time was 4 at EB Games.

Daj, I think this is a record for me as far as number of figures go. I'm just new at buying cheaper figures, because it's definately not a record dollar-wise.

Yeah, the biggest amount of money I've spent on figures at one time was around $60-70.

My favorite was at TRU one day, I had some ML, spriderman classics, and star wars figures, and she was like " boy your kids are lucky ". And I looked right at her and said " I don't have any kids." And all she could do was finish ringing up my figures and say " OH "......... that really makes a person feel good.
