Given how much I'VE HAD in my bank account for the past few years, paying 47.00 for a Gorosaurus that is bound to hit other retailers and store shelves more openly is overpaying. Let's not flex something stupid like "her derp I have money burning in my pocket ima pay 59.99 for a 4.99 gashapon look at WHAT I CAN DO!" That's just plain stupid. Could have bought like the entire line of Gashapons if you looked someplace like on Mandarake of Yahoo.jp for the same price and picked up more along with it. It also makes you look like an a--.Leviarex wrote: ↑Mon Sep 13, 2021 10:50 amWell, the auction in question was one that started out with $14.99, but I kept getting outbid to the point where my final offer was $47.00 which at the time was a fairly low price compared to the other listings (except for one that was roughly around the same range). In any case, given how much I have in my account, I'd hardly call it overpaying by any percent.UltramanGoji wrote: ↑Sun Sep 12, 2021 7:47 pmIf you're one of the two $40+ auctions, you overpaid by about 300%.
Most people want to nitpick and say anything over MSRP is overpaying but I'd go 19.99 with next day shipping for Goro. There are a few exceptions were overpaying is mandatory and that are convention or expo exclusives like most of my Ultra 500 stuff. Can only get them if you go to what-ever con for 5 days in Japan and then you pay 8.99 for it. Yeah don't ask how much I paid to complete my collection at the time but different circumstance for something that is "in retail circulation".
Like all those scalpers stating how "buying their MMS Kong for 29.99 is a deal and you wont find it anyplace cheaper!" Yeah I can go to Amazon.jp and get one along with like every other MMS and get it shipped to me for a better bargain then what snake oil your trying to sell people. I hate vultures and there the reason why in stock circulation for some of these are damn impossible to find.
