Supply and Demand.,
Two words.. well three actually.. but you know what I mean.

I can definately appreciate where Vader is coming from, I don't work 10 hours a day 7 days a week, and the profits i get from selling on my store aren't alot, however I do have lots of time to play with GIJOE and other figures and i do actively seek out bargains, in a similar way lots to clean up figures and give fans the chance to buy into the figures and enjoy them much in the same way.

I think just because someone sells figures at profit doesnt make them any less of a fan because of it.. at the same time I can appreciate that whilst some people won't pay $20 for a mint loose complete Night-Viper, there are always other fans/collectors that will.

It's nice to get a bargain sometimes, and i've spoken to many gi joe fans that have built there collection on many great "scores" and bargains on ebay where they have got army builders or highly prized figures for a knock down price, this is kind of where the thrill in the hunt in the hobby comes in.

Night Viper is also notoriously difficult to obtain MLC because of the monocle piece. That S.o.B pretty much broke on me when i first got him all those years ago within the first few weeks.
