Something from Lamley blog,
"I know I open myself up to criticism here, because I am quick to defend many of the Malaysian sellers on eBay, citing that they found the models in street markets and sold them to make extra money. " Full article below, is lengthy ... http://lamleydlm.blogspot.com/2015/06/shou...d-of-super.html Cheers. This post has been edited by kbengmy: Jun 15 2015, 09:15 AM |

QUOTE(kbengmy @ Jun 15 2015, 09:14 AM) Something from Lamley blog, What a way to divert attention from the ACTUAL problem. Its nothing to do with Supers. Its something to do with 1 person buying up every car that people wants, then reselling them for 2-3.5 times the price. When Mattel starts to sell all real world cars packed with a Mattel original in 2 pack form at RM16 a pack then you will know. They will move more than 50% off the pegs and the scalpers will have no room to show their wares and a lot of money being held up in stocks. Thats the only way to curb scalping. I don't mind having originals either. But not having a chance at any real world cars is really killing the hobby."I know I open myself up to criticism here, because I am quick to defend many of the Malaysian sellers on eBay, citing that they found the models in street markets and sold them to make extra money.

Just the price is more than double the basic range. But u can do wheel swaps yourselves because its screw bottom and not riveted. |

Or Mattel keep release boxes into the market, until the shelf flooded with all the cars. Then will see how strong the scalpers can hold So u are left with going other brands.

Back to basic, it is a matter of demand and supply problem. Cheers. |

Then will see how strong the scalpers can hold U must understand that u will have to help Mattel a bit by not exceeding their manufacturing cost. 2 cars in single blister is more logical. Because they already have machine to make 2 pack single blister from their Track Aces. No additional cost involved except labour from sorting models. That is the best way. If ramping up production just to fill demand for 20% of case amount, is really stupid. Plus they have to pay additional license fee to manufacturers. End result we pay more. Thats is what we should avoid.Back to basic, it is a matter of demand and supply problem. Cheers. |
