I just posted to say that even offering $200 shipped to somebody in Canada who got one for camping out on HTS.com for 3 days may not be incentive enough for them to sell theirs. Hate to say it but eBay may be your best bet or find a member on the US side that got theirs for around $115-120 USD shipped from HTS.com that will graciously sell theirs for under $200 shipped from US to Canada.

Very true. But if they get it for 120 and don't want it or change their minds, I figure 34 for them to ship it is more than reasonable.
Maybe I'm in the minority, but unless it's accrued in value over the years I would sell my stuff for either what I paid for it or if it's used for less. I like collecting and I'm not in it for the financial gain. I like the stuff. If the shoe were on the other foot and I didn't want it, I'd sell it for my cost plus what it would cost me to send it to someone else.
I try to treat the other boardies here the way I would a friend. Maybe that makes me a fool, but I sleep well. I try to deal honourably. I'm not saying that those who turn a profit aren't good people, but if you're doing it because you can then I don't think that's right.
I know this is a sold out exclusive and that jacks up the price, but I don't know that it should be more money the same day it came out. That's scalping, in my book. If it were next year, that'd be different.
D'oh well. It never hurts to ask. |
