People are always fishing for some rich/desperate people.. but of course, personal tastes.. if one thinks a deluxe is so rare and so amazing that he thinks its worth 200, i wont judge tongue.gif
Poorer ppl like me will just settle for retail or lower (mostly lower brows.gif)

this one is a hard decision, coz everywhere also goreng till hangus.

sometimes it's wise to buy earlier than buy late... buy 1st think later icon_idea.gif

goreng till hangus pun kalau x dak orang nak beli, apa guna. we can see some put price kaw-kaw gila and they said it is market/current price la, rare la, VHTF la, last piece la tapi after 4-5 month that item x dak pun orang beli. banyak example dalam mudah.com. item scalp gila2, tapi mana ada org beli.

keep searching, now got sooooooo many source u can hunting for TF. u got Forum, FB, mudah, ebay, onlineshop, toyshop. No need to feed that scalper please

Lol I'm not trying to feed scalper. The rm 400 price I got is actually from a toy store. I've actually been searching on forums and visited a few different toy stores. Today alone I've been to MV, Amcorp and also BTS. Also cannot find what I'm looking for.  I've also checked on forums etc and so far got one guy who msg'd me directly that he can let it go for rm 350. I don't think he is a scalper, because I see him post quite regularly on the forums but he based his price on what he see in the market. So if I buy from him, am I considered feeding the scalper?

Honestly, who don't want to buy some stuff at "retail" price. Keep in mind I only joined back this hobby in Dec 2013. There are a lot of stuff I missed out on. For example I wanted to get United Drift. I saw it at Famitoy at rm 140 (i didn't buy), anywhere I look the price is higher than that or lower than that but not MOSC or USED or missing stuff..  If I buy that from Famitoy, is that also considered feeding the scalper?
I honestly just want to get more Primes for my collection and I'm not those that have to buy every single deluxe/legends/voyager that is out, so money not spent buying those for me is money used to buy something I really want.

p/s : I curious about something, if someone keep their stuff MOSC, they are not selling it now, if one day they decide to sell it, has anybody seen the situation where the price was same as retail or lower? (Not talking about super common shelf warmers la).. Take TFA blackout for example, that one I lucky found at a comic store at the back of the shelf at rm 109. How often does that happen ?

no offence too bro... shop sometimes will scalp rare stuff too...

United drift @ RM140 isn't too bad, although slight higher but rare to see 1 around. It's still a good catch as color is better than hasbro Drift.

Famitoy have quite numbers of vintage Tfs... those are not us to judge as it's super rare and you really like it, then go ahead and buy. I found a very memorable tf over there, G2 stuffs @ RM200++ after negotiate but until today i still didn't purchase it tongue.gif

If it's something you really want then go ahead and you are a happy man. I have being scalped too (most of us had)... that's why i will resort find sources from oversea if local price is hard to swallow.

for your last question... For rare stuff normally i wont offer my price, but will ask buyer to offer. If price offer isn't bad and buyer willing to pay, then the deal is on. These deal are easy to seal especially buyer is prepare to pay brows.gif if buyer can't even offer, they might be just survey/ ask price only. if it's something not that rare then i'll just follow market price, coz the price wont make much/ any profit. Shop is different as they need to put a price on it, high or low it's their choice. Some tf generation old stuffs can be found in summit USJ as they are still selling @ retail only. No discount no scalp.

Thanks, I might check out USJ summit one day. Only place I haven't been in the area.

IT Toys.. since the early days when they were in MidValley also known for being scalpers. 

In BTS I like that shop opened by a LYN forum here.. ps3transformer09. His prices are generally pretty reasonable. 
Another factor for me is sometimes I just don't have the time to go hunting all over. As you know some of these shops also sometimes don't really follow their operating hours, especially when you only have free time to hunt during lunch hour.  Understandable as many of these shops are self-owned and open at malls that don't enforce opening hours etc. But it is sometimes incredibly frustrating to go somewhere to hunt and then that store never open. Some also have poor communication where they don't take calls or don't reply SMSes.

So to be honest, I know some people get the thrill out of going to a store, seeing something nice and unexpected as they go out hunting. For me not so much as in general I seldom go shopping. When I set out to shop, I already know what I want and I guess you can say "head there with a purpose". Like yesterday, go hunting those 3 places, end up with nothing.. so sien =_=.. lucky after work when at tesco buying milk powder managed to snag a Beas Hunter Prime that I was looking for hehe.

Actually thanks for your general advice, I wasn't offended till being called a "scalper feeder", not even to kien kienn's "sui yu" remark hehe. For me rm400 was OP and I was just wondering if it was an ok price since I saw on Ebay those 2 deluxes prices are quite high. Now there is a reputable private collector from TransMY that is offering me at a lower price and just waiting to deal.

It is not my intention ot "spoil the market".

glad you have found a more reasonable price thumbup.gif

you are not spoiling the market but the scalpers.

^ i have to reluctantly agree.. i have nothing against ppl who buy what they really want at any price they're comfortable with.. but sometimes scalpers become braver.. yes, i'm looking at you, rm1.5k twinpack jetfire/prime
Then again some are simply market price so theres no way around it.. of course the above example is genuinely scalping

didn't know Chan will buy RM1.5k twinpack jetfire/ prime O.o
