From what I observe so far when buying TF, these are usually the things that ppl use to goreng:-
1) Must buy in set
So hasbro ship things in mixed cases and so the only way to get rid of them is to sell in sets. Fine, but do atleast give come discout abit and not charge 100% rrp or more for it. Or show that you have atleast
TRIED to order from Hasbro in solid cases. I think it is possible to order in solid cases since someone posted a picture of a solid case of Takara Ironhides recently.
2) Must buy this in order to buy this.
This is worse than no.1 . Already you have to pay premium for an item, but now you are force to buy something else to buy the stuff you want? and lagi that extra item is goreng. OUch! Worse offenders.... well ... i think everyone knows.
3) Put a ridiculously high price for an item.
I can name a few which does this. some of the shops in BTS sells deluxes for prices you can get a takara leader! The wonderful thing about it is that the stocks are still there.

Hey, there is a limit on how much you can goreng. I remember a picture of a shop in 1U that has so much voyager primes it is as if they are waiting for a shortage that never came. Also we know the Recommended Retail Prices of most of the items sold. Sure a fool is always parted with his money, but then it is better to sell of the stock quick right?
4) Scapling
Golden rule: NEVER Scalp. If info leaks out that your shop is scalping chances are you will be out of business really quick.
Not that I want you to practice them, just to tell you the frustrating part of buying TFs

Hope you can relieve us of such misery.
