Exhibit Nine, dating back to August 7, 1998, marks our second foray into the realms of moronic toy speculators. In retrospect, maybe we should have built a wing for them in the remodeling, but I'm not calling the architect back now. This particular incoherent screed came from "modelandtoycollector", and appeared, where else, rec.toys.action-figures.discuss: im sorry to those who think they cost too $$$$$$ i been a secondary market retailor for 22 years iv done books originally, comics, and now toys. if your paying more than you want your doing two things. first, your not waiting till its closed out.it ALL GOES ON SALE eventually.and if you dont agree, your justifying you spending habits. second, your not shopping or looking enough. both of these problems are personel and instant gratification related. NOBODY IS RAPING THE CONSUMER, THE PROBLEM IS YOU CANNOT KEEP YOU PECKER (wallet&money) in your pants. You buy into the hype, "I gotta have it",,,,"I cant wait"My question with those spenders is always,Do you play with it, collect it, or FUCK IT?? im sorry but all iv ever sold i could always sold for less than other retailors, thats why im here. so you should always be able to buy for less, cause you taking your time and/or shoppingand last, relative to new direct and non major company figures,their presales cover there costs. sales dont put them out of buisness, poor quality, bad shipping practices and poor customer relations put them under....that does eaqual sales in the long term, but they make their own bed. i will answer all email....the collector in buffalo ny!!" You know, I've been curating this Shrine for three years, and the classic moron aversion to the paragraph still eludes my comprehension. I simply don't get it. Take a breath. Hit the Return key a couple of times. Do something before it's too late.
