Re: is this normal?

I think I got a pretty decent price for what I wanted. The only one I wanted was one of the Autotroopers, which I got for $45. This was within an hour of the attendee getting it in his hands.
I noticed on ebay the first day it going for about 70+ for just one, it has come down now, I've as low as 37 (+23shipping).

Re: is this normal?

The first weekend's always the most expensive.

And I have nothing wrong with BBTS buying some sets and marking them up - after all, they DID have to go to the convention to get them, so the costs aren't trivial.

Though on the flipside, a lot of them continue to get more and more expensive as time goes on.

2006's Dawn of Future's Past, 2007's Games of Deception, or 2008's Shattered Glass sets can be indicative of those.

Then again, there are those like 2005's Decent into Evil that aren't so hot...

BBTS had no booth. So I'm not sure how they'd be getting them...

Re: is this normal?

If you want to avoid ebay prices, I saw quite a few for sale on TFW2005 for relatively reasonable prices.

Re: is this normal?

Lowest prices I've found are:

$50 per autotrooper
$300 for stucticons
$165 for SG Galvatron and TC
$165 for Sideswipe and Fisitron

In case anyone was looking for them. I'm tempted by autotrooper since, agreeing with brr-icy , they were in the TV show.
