Kinda funny- Anti Scalper

[Psivampyr]

I was looking at CL for MH and I found this posting- I found it kinda funny and refreshing to see people stand up.

***DO NOT BUY Monster High Fearleaders: VERY RARE - $75 (Norfolk) - $40 (hampton roads)
Do not pay this person $75 for something that is in fact popping up in Toys R US for $40. I picked one of these up on Valentines day at the Lynnhaven Toys R US and there were 3 remaining on the shelf. DO NOT PAY A SCALPER. This will encourage them to continue to hit every store and buy up hard to find toys, and then inflate them for a profit. You can ask the Toys R US clerks and they can give you an idea when new shipments are coming in. This is what the scalpers do.

You don't have to pay double what it should cost you. Toys R US online frequently puts it up for sale online as well. It has been up 3 or 4 times this week. Don't pay double to get it a few days or week early. Patience pays off. The sooner we stop paying scalpers double the retail value, the sooner they will stop pulling these from shelves. There are enough at the stores for everyone if we stop paying over market to these scalpers.


***I AM NOT SELLING ONE. I'm just passing the word out that you can pick this up at Toys R US in Hampton Roads. They ARE shipping to our locations. Make the scalpers resort to EBAY, cutting into their profit margin and their desire to gouge us.

Might be a crazy idea, but we should ALL do this for our local Craigslist sites.

I saw something like this on craigslist around my area
I wonder if collectors are starting a scalper group bomb

I've also seen posts like these back around Christmas time on my local Craigslist. I think it's great, spread the word anywhere you can.
