Spill, back to your question...  If I was you i'd sell/trade the stuff for retail value.  If you try to get like $40 worth of stuff for 1 Infantry 6pack, your no better than the scalpers out there.


But how do you know sometimes what 40 bucks worth of stuff is?  Is it based on retail or what the market is fetching on ebay (which goes up and down all the time).  Say I wanted to trade 6 Agent Faces for a Cobra 6 pack.  A one for one trade sounds fair or does it?  Do I go by the 2.99 US for 2 figures (which is 9 bucks for 6 figures) or the stupid prices I have seen on ebay for them like this http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... egory=2467 (six figures would cost 100 US)

Thus I really don't pay close attention to the value when trading.  If something sounds logical, I do the trade.

If both sides are happy with a trade, who are we to criticize?

Well i often get hosed on trades as a Canadian....people from the U.S. get items for retail then 'trade' them for something worth 5 times the amount.  As an example I traded a Crimson Guard for a Agent Faces...the guy new I really wanted it and he hosed me big time for it...at the time I thought I would never get one...silly Spilly...anyways was I happy with the trade...NO...but as some stuff is limited and only sold in the U.S. we seem to have no choice.

Value vs. Value on Venom vs. Valor

I think that people are inflating the values of toys all the time so if i hold on to the one Cobra Soldiers six pack I have until someone gives me a Starduster does that make me a scalper??? Starduster cost maybe 5 bucks 10 or so years ago...I think it is a fair trade...now only if someone will trade me...!!!
