    shit.....tell that to a grocer or a florist or to a pet store owner....
    does the store that you return the toy to sell it again at a higher price?
    re-selling ain't the same.....ya' get me? I think returning a toy on the basis of not really liking it anymore and changing your mind is some kid shit....I'm a man and I don't buy shit I don't like.....If you can't control your impulses you expect a store to be your parent? Thats some pretty funny style shit right there......
    And just for clarity....my original post wasn't directed at you....it was more of an open letter....if you felt so compelled as to address it...well then I guess it must have been bugging you about you....that i have no control over....

    Sorry if it pisses you off....but next time you wanna buy something you should ask other members to post a picture of it.....chances are someone might be looking for one or has it already...I would have gladly posted those items you bought with pics. and size specs. to help you out...I wouldn't want to see you get ripped off or be disappointed with a purchase.

    I buy stuff off YJA that I know I don't want when I unwrap the bubble but I turn around and sell it for what I paid. I guess I fuck up a little because the shipping cost keep getting bigger every time they change hands. I apologize for that.

    I never really gave a shit about flipping in the Western vinyl scene but with Japanese vinyl I think it is important to discourage this practice. These figures are so limited and more expensive at retail that flipping's negative effects are magnified.

    No, sorry friend ...I don't do that wack shit....
    I was just wondering how many toys Super 7 & or TT or any other online toy stores have returned for you since you started collecting....

    Hey Bryan .....or Isaac, how do you guys feel about people returning toys because they bought them on impulse and don't like them now?

    Re-selling at a crazy mark-up is wack....re-selling for what you paid plus shipping...now thats righteous....

    Returning something like a toy because you bought on impulse and now you don't like it....now thats wack

    Anyways....I'm off to the market because I bought a sandwich earlier and I realized after I tried it that I don't like it....hope they can return it for me....then its off to return the underwear that I wore once but now I don't like the color... :shock:

    Actually, when I got started on Japanese vinyl, I was able to score a bunch of great prices on stuff through S7 because someone sold things back to them. So I have no problem with people returning things... :D

    Them buying the toys back is entirely different then them taking them back because the person did not like them....I think we all know the difference....and I agree that is cool and I would gladly buy a used toy if it fit my requirements and was in great shape...

    Unless they turn around and maybe give you a GOOD DEAL !
    I have alway's wondered what the retail mark up is on alot of the figures we buy thru this board. This is a FAN site, but it has also become a semi-retail site for several businesses ! They are not in this game for nothing. I have often wondered how long these high prices for vinyl figure can last. Another reason to collect what you truly like !

    Agreed, especially with new sculpts that I've never handled before.

    They look great in a photo and then realize the quality isn't there or they don't stand right or whatever. But I've never known of a store to offer returns (maybe an exchange if the piece is fubared) but no 30 day money back guarantee.
