Selling Toys - Horror Stories & "Happy" Customers

The Refund Guy Saga continues.

So when he told me he found it elsewhere, he provided a screenshot.

That seller. Has now messaged me. He messaged me to let me know that he sold his for $130 and that I should price mine accordingly. And then he suggested that I list it in groups to move it because he's looked at my listing and I have many follows and bookmarks.

This has to be an elaborate troll at this point.

*tears in his eyes*

"Bro, can you tell him that he needs to give me money back?"

*screeching*

"PLEEEAAASE. Message him and tell him his listing is too high."

*slamming fists into desk*

"I'll do anything, bro. Tell him it's not fair."

I get this more with something like Heroclix... but seriously who cares about the McFarlane DCM cards??

I keep the cards, mostly because I enjoy collecting piles of trash. The cards are impossible to remove from the packaging in any "mint" way without bending slightly or having marred edges, so I don't know why anyone would obsess over them.

I've started tossing McFarlane stands (and card stands) free in items I sell on Ebay, as I have an entire Dutch cookie tin of them and the lid no longer closes. The only thing I use is the flight stands we get occassionally, and even those figures now lean in flight.

How do you bend the cards? I always stick a sharp blade under the edge of the plastic and peel it up, then the card comes out fine.

You're talking about the cards that are glued in the plastic bubble to the cardboard backing. I'm referring to the ones that come in the actual bubble beside the figure itself that are held in with little plastic edges that require you to basically bend the card to get it out at all.

Even still, I've had plenty of the cards in the backing like you're referring to that had marred edges even when you do peel the bubble off the cardboard perfectly. It's rare that I get anything that looks anything approximating "mint" from a McFarlane box.
 
Dude picked up one of my Wonder Womans last night and gave it a big once over, even studying the serials on the bottom of the feet for a long while. Also questioned a lot of the articulation standards (Todd thigh swivel, the butterfly cups). Felt like I was trying to pass the border between the scrutiny and inquiry.

But he paid top dollar, so cool.
