Hi everyone, Anyway, i like to as your opinion as a "Kit Collector also" (since most of you have other kits than zoids) about this certain situation. I kinda found some members from different boards that commonly buying kits or action figure from Collectors who sell their kit for their own reason. (I also sell some of my kit sometimes.) The one that is bothering me is that this members sell this kits again at a higher price at the other boards or site with a mark-up rate. Sample: 1. Member1 of boardX buy Zoids A at 300 from a member of boardx 2. Member 1 sells ZoidsA at boardY/Auction Site at 600. Anyway as a fellow collector its kinda feel sad for those who buy the kit that does not know they could get it cheaper because they dont know other special boards like PG. All i am saying that if we sell kits i hope that a fellow collector will get it instead of an entrepreneur. Fellow collector will be much more happier and will cherish the one you sell. Your opinions please...  thanks oh and by the way... i know that you are here, please dont mess up our little community, WE ARE COLLECTORS so stop being a bug!!!  i really XXXX you. |

Okies... Since ive been selling kits that are not mine... I might as well give out a few sentence. ;D I agree with the idea that since these kits have sentimental values.. it would be best that we sell them carefully to those who deserve them. Preferrably to those friends of ours who will take good care of them. Its hard to sell stuff bro... Like in my case... if I could only gobble up all the kits that come in my way... it would be fun! Coz i get to help the one in need and id have lots of toys too! Talk about luck! But most of the time... we ourselves do not have the means to take whatever kits our friends are selling and... those who have the means are.... "the entrepreneurs"... ;D Sad to say that due to most emergency cases, as much as we want to choose who we wopuld like to sell our kits to... we really have no choice.  Grimm |

i agree. if i were to sell a personal kit. i'd sell it to someone who i know would take care of it instead of selling to someone who'd take advantage of other people. the question is... sino kaya sa atin yun..?  |

I've sold kits that I've gotten from other sources knowing for a fact that I'll sell them in the near future. But there are some items that I cannot seem to sell because the prices I got them are what I call "epic wins."  I say it's still their right to sell. People have needs. Depends if someone wants to buy it at that price. |

well we cant blame the sellers if it is in case of emergency that they need money or other various reason for selling their kit BUT owning a store that sells kits for higher price is just to lame. I know once in a while it is okay for profit but for depending on that as a way of living, or doing that just like its a job is just again so lame. I could go on forever but its to lame.
I hope in our own way we could stop these so called buyers with no really fashion to collecting except money. i always believe on the quote "Paying it Forward"
OT:
Blind Item:
This guy is a newly member here, has an active account on our Boards, PTK, PinoyGundam, Mechapinoy and even GT.(have to check other boards like TF) Has different userID in local auction site but one contact number. Buys from one boards and sell this to these auction sites.
Been watching this guy for quite sometime now and since it started to crawl in our community have to let warn you atleast. ;D

hay.... same problem since 19kopongkopong....
gotta love 'em....
anyway, it is their right to put a price on something that they're selling. If someone bought it, well, that's unfortunate... but that's life. Been a victim of this... several times over. hehehe.
Let's focus on what we CAN do...
keep posting on the zoids/toys sightings boards... I'd request everyone to post the details too, if you can (not just the link, but the price if possible... condition, etc.) That'll be our small part to inform everyone. And may I please ask everyone not to shoot anyone down if they post a sighting that has already been posted. I think that's one thread where we can ignore a bit of redundancy, just to keep reminding people of sightings.
if you want, we could also post a separate sightings thread for every toyline thread that we have... not just zoids.

I agree, Member1's way is not fair... means the seller is desperately trying to sell the thing at a good price anyway they can. The reasons can be different, but it becomes unethical if the buyer of it at P600 found out that it was P300 elsewhere. In any case, inconsistency in prices would be unethical. Fairness is still the rule to follow.
If you see this case, you can inform the admins/mods of both boards so they could take it to that dubious seller.
