Winning auctions on eBay makes one a butt head?

It just really takes the fun out of collecting knowing that you can only have a chance at getting what they don't want. I collect for enjoyment not profit. Not that it's wrong it just stinks. Just me being bitter.

That's a pretty big assumption there.When someone with deep pockets buys everything...just so others can't have a chance at maybe adding to their collection for fun. To then go and resell at rediculous inflated prices...yes to me is a butthead. Just my little cheap oppinion.

Do you know who the bidder is? Are they a known reseller? Are they buying to resell or to fill gaps in their master set?

If you are complaining about the prices they are at now, just wait until three days from now when they end! If you thought that purple lot was going to go for less than $300 with all of the high bidding people have been doing on A Class figure lots lately I think you were pretty sorely mistaken. General Veers predicted a final price on that Purple A lot of $500 -- I'm thinking more like $350.
Many of the Class As are really hard to find. A lot of them only show up for sale every couple of years so you can't exactly blame people for being willing to pay for them if they really want them. There is certainly something to be said for being patient and not paying the ridiculous "scalper" BIN prices some of these jerks are asking for figures but at the end of the day there are some figures where there are multiple people who all really want a figure that is difficult to find.

Gotta have deep pockets for the htf figures, but it all goes in waves. Stay in the hobby long enough and you will have your chance at them, just gotta be patient.
If you wanna finish fast with a limit budget, it's not gonna happen.

I think that you speak with enough authority on the subject of LRG collecting that we could shoot one of those The More You Know PSA shorts of you saying exactly this sentence. It's the main piece of advice I give to new collectors; so much truth to this.

I messaged i**o and he was very offended by what you said. He's very sensitive about his condition:

I gotta agree with everyone on here man, I mean at least it's up for auction and you're getting a legitimate shot at it. Like you said though, sounds like it's just a bitter thing, which I understand that, I just said eff it and sold off my guitar equipment so I could start buying the Class A's I wanted, lmfao! Also, in the short time I've been on here I've learned one good way to get figures you really want is to make friends on here, you'll get introduced to this dude and that dude in the process and BAM! you're talking to a cool dude that's got the figure or figures you're wanting and there it is, you got the hook up! As long as you're not acting like some dick weed on here, you'll meet some awesome dudes on here. Hell I acted like a dick weed for a minute and still happened to make some friends. And you, from what I know about you so far, you are no dick weed, but be careful with what you say, that butt head buying all those Class A's might be the dude people are trying to introduce you to later down the road because he has the figures you want/need and he might just remember getting called a butt head in your post ;P
