Cheap?  We talked about this at your house.  If I am getting something I need (and can't find in my area) and the trading partner is getting something they need (and can't find in there area either), a trade makes perfect sence.  

Case in point, I had no problems in giving you the He Man snake packs for 3 future GI JOE considerations.  Carl, I will hunt down the other He Man Snake men line packs you wanted in return.

Plus if I can't do a trade or I am not looking to do a trade, I will sell the item at cost to guys that I can trust or help out. (Ed you have an email by the way).  And this goes vice versa as Prozac, Bucky and Justin Barnhill have helped me out a number of times (without the markup).  You never know when the shoe is on the other foot.  I just mailed off 3 bike bots to Prozac as they were not released in the States.  Did I charge him extra?  Not in a million years.  Conversly, scalpers on another message board, like dorkingbay, I can't stand them and there pathetic capitalism logic.  Buying a Airbone/Tele Viper pack, putting it on ebay with a insane BIN price of over 50 bucks and calling it a service to people that can't get those packs makes me want to choke the hell of them.  If that was me selling the Airborne pack, it would be at cost.

I will attempt to bring it back with me to the airport as oversized luggage if possible. It's all about the story in the end.

I am looking for one and I am meeting you on Wednesday of this week.  I may want it.  Problem is how the heck can I bring that back with me.

I better call.  I am want as many of "me" as a I can.

My latest thing is collecting a set of accessories...from 82 to about 88... :shock:

So I have these little bins full of everything, enough to complete about 80% of the figures released from 82 to 88...and there not for trade...

Are these accessories for your personal collection or are you trying to complete a second set?

I am just glad that I have completed all my figures (minus the toilet paper called filecards) from 1982 to 2003. There are some variant accessories but I am not making an effort to find them.

?I really need it because it?s the last one on my list?

Funny our last trades were like this.

Honestly, since I came online back in 1998, I have noticed that accessories are getting harder to find. Back then guys had a ton of websites with accessories that often average a buck a piece. Not any more. Too many people have joined the bandwagon. Most of the good accessories have dried up.  You either have to buy the figure complete or trade a ton to get it. I would trade army builder accessories (and have) for other accessories I needed (non army builder). Army builder accessories have become good trade bait.
