Ebay: So it begins....

If you go to Ebay and type in a search for "Indiana Jones Disney" you'll find some auctions that will make you ill. There are two sellers(at the moment) who each have several Disney Indy toys on the block, all of which are WAY overpriced. The first bid on one of the 4" figures was $12, now it's past $20.

But the one that makes me physically double over in nausea is one that's selling a 10" figure. He's enabled the "Buy-it-now" feature, the price....$50. That's just sickening. An item that you can order over the phone for $15, and have shipped for a total of less than $20, is being offered to people at a price hike-up of nearly 4 times the retail cost.

It's money-grubbin' sons of bitches like that who've turned collecting into a business. They're the same low-lifes that empty out toy stores as soon as a shipment comes in, only to turn around and sell the stuff for profit.

Yay Capitalism.
