It's simple, newbies don't know how to shop around and find lower prices. I know when I got back into GI Joe, I got skinned for almost $50.00 for the 8 pack they had from BJ's wholesale when I could have gotten them for like $24.99 if I knew where to look.


That, and a lot of times you're buying $150.00 worth of goods from someone and don't wanna turn around and pay $6.99 for the figure from another website and add on $4.99 shipping, when all orders over $100 are free shipping and they're only asking $12.99 for the figure (which is about what you'd pay with shipping from the cheaper site!)

That's how you do it!

I always wondered why people would pay $12.99 a figure on one site when it's only $6.99 from Hasbro! The only time I pay more is when Hasbro sells out (like on the DTC Cobra Troopers!)
