To all the guys who snatch up figures and sell them online at a stupid high price...

It just seems like a poor business model. Unless your time is virtually worthless, it's a very bad return on your investment. The 40th Anniversary R2 is going for maybe $35 online? So you make 50% profit. Which would be great, except that if you're any sort of grown-ass adult then you probably make at least $10 per hour at your day job. Between driving to and from stores and the post office, and the cost of packaging, how much are you really netting? You'd have to find multiple, sought-after pieces each time you left the house to even come close to breaking even. If your searches are anything like mine, you come up empty-handed more often than not. So not only are you douches, you're an embarassment as an businessman/woman. The guy recycling cans he digs out of the trash has a better business model than you. "Oh, it's my hobby and I love it," you say. Your hobby is finding ways to be inconsiderate AND inefficient at the same time. And in that, you have succeeded. Congratulations, both Star Wars fans and capitalists think you're a loser.
