were you able to get the pair? reason I ask is I placed an early bid on them to see how far they would go, but didn't get back in time to catch the ending. I lost transformation willow and I wanted her for customizing. Looks like I will have to use a Chosen DXL Willow instead to save money.
O well.

We do know now that all those figures go for very low prices, thank you We do have a thread called " Good deals on Whedon Items" and Im pretty sure theres a similar one around somewhere. I think we could use that thread to post all those great offers. No need for an extra thread for each great ebay deal. Or were creating a new one for great figure deals on here. Heres the link: btvsfigs.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=Talk&action=display&thread=18079

So, Id put those threads together, so now we have a thread called "Good Deals on Whedonitems" for misc. Buffy merchandise, and an extra one for good deals on Buffy figures. Think this is a nice way to help peoples complete their collection. Everyone feel free to share links and good finds

Dev if you have to keep asking if you got a good deal on it, then no you didn't get a good deal on it. When you factor the shipping back in to your final bidding cost you actually paid very close to retail price when she was being sold at actionfigurexpress I believe it was that had her. SDCC I don't know what was the mark up cost on her but most of the toyfare boxed one are around $20 and that's with shipping.

Guys, ba1 has already provided you with a link to post good finds and bargains, let's use that instead of continuing with this thread! Devlish - I think the point elee is making is that as a collector you will sometimes get great deals and at other times maybe not. BUT as a collector getting your hands on something you've been after for a while is always good news. I'm sure he didn't mean any offense! If you're going to post so many threads you must expect a little debate now and then - it's actually very healthy!!!

Remember the Vampire Drusilla I posted recently? She went for 13$, that was a very good deal. So if you would like to hear my opinion on that, I would say 26$ seems like a regular price to me.
I dont think we need to have this discussion again, its always turns into an argument... No need for that, especially not on christmas. You notice something? You keep asking questions, but you cant accept a different opinion. So whats the point in asking? You complain about people do scrutinize your posts, what are you doing? Im pretty sure thats the 3rd time you rebuked elee, and thats certainly not your job. I dont see anything condescending in elees last post, he told you that in his opinion you havent made a great deal. Accept it. If you feel like you made a good deal, fine, enjoy it. If you cant stand another opinion wich isnt yours why keep on asking? Whats the point?

I want to add to smiler's and ba's posts by saying that anyone who think a poster is being inappropiate, should report the post or PM one of us mods and leave it to us, because as ba pointed out, it's our job to uphold the rules and the mood.
I've seen, and sadly been a part of many discussions where members argued with each other about forum etiquette, when we should simply have left it to the mods.

Was their attitude when your were reading it? If so, then I'm sorry you read it that way. It was more of a little annoyance then it was attitude. So let me explain why I felt that way, generally when someone ask for the cost or price of a figure and is it worth anything, and I'm pretty sure from a collector's stand point I'm NOT alone, then your most likely a scalper looking to make the most money possible out of a figure - be it rare or not. It takes quality away from the original brand of why you like Buffy to begin with be it in any form it comes in. Secondly, the answer is quite simple - locate a toy price guide or study market trends and demands for the figure. That way you'll know if it's a good buy. (I personally go by the suggested retail for new items and market shop online for all the deals to see who has the better buy.)
Thanks ba|1for sticking up for me I think.... and one correction I didn't say Dev "didn't make a good deal" but rather an ok or fair deal.

It seems like we could let this situation be. I'm not sure if we should look the thread, delete the argument or just let it stay and continue talking. @dd Feel free to ask questions regarding pricing and keep posting in general. Don't let our sharp eyes scare you @elee I don't know if DD is a scalper. I know lots of people who collects but also thinks about the money they're spending.
