an opinion, but to wish ill upon people openly for selling something seems
very immature and spiteful.
I got the SSE Mummy and offered it in trade on two different boards even
up for a Grey Hulk PF. $400 vs $425 retail pricing so a very fair and even
trade in my mind, if somebody who wanted the SSE Mummy missed out on
it and had the Hulk available. I got no response to it. None. Zero. Nobody
even contacted me to see if I'd trade it for something else, or try to work
out any other type of deal on it.
As a result, I've listed it now for sale and if it sells - great. If not, then I'll have
it available in the future to trade for a Grey Hulk PF or Doom Exc. any time.
I missed out on the Neg. Zone Spidey and nobody cut me a deal on it just
because I'm a "true collector" of several Marvel PF pieces. I ended up paying
about double retail for it from a boardmember, and I'm happy with it. I didn't
say "you profiteering jerk. I wish you very bad luck" Because they WEREN'T
a profiteering jerk. They were just a trusted long-time boardmember who had an
item that I wanted, and offered it to me at the near-going Ebay rate. I just chose
to pay for what I wanted, and I'm extremely happy with my decision.
I also missed out on the Grey Hulk vs. Spidey and a boardmember helped me
out with it too, but there was still extra cost involved. Again - I didn't gripe.
I just paid what they were asking, and we were both happy.
Very unfortunate that you'd think ill of boardmembers who sell and/or trade
statues to fund their own ever-growing collections, as that would exclude a
very large portion of the regular members who are all great people.
All my best wishes to you Monster.

Let it be known, I do NOT think ill of any board member, I just want everyone to have a fair shake at these items.
