Did I Get Ripped Off!?

[Flipboipinoy]

AFter having many offerings for my duplicate of my nightcrawler and i finally traded it today so wut do u think wuz it a good deal for me?:

I traded my nightcrawler for:

r/e Logan
e Thor
r Doc Oct
LE lvl 3 Dr. Harley Quinzell
u Titania
e hulk
e Captain America
v doombot
v ultron
v dr doom
e Firelord
r Jean Grey
r Prof X
3x v Aim Medic
r/e Black Panther

well thats all..i think there are some other scrubs like ALOT of medics but yeah tell me what u think if i shouldve done this or not

[TDCHeath]

Did you need those figs? If so, then it was a great trade, if not then it means a lot less. There are numerous useful characters in that mix, so its not like you got nothing.

[Flipboipinoy]

umm yeah....i had none of those figures and desperatley needed cheaper figs so yeah...i think i got a good trade

[Killspree]

All that and you are worried about getting a bad deal? Nightcrawler is 1 unique, For it you got an LE another unique and over a dozen other figures (V Doom and V ultron?) I figure you got a great trade. Unless you bought Nightcrawler for some god awful rate that some of these places charge he was just a lucky draw.

[Flipboipinoy]

nah...i pulled nightcralwer twice..for some reason i pull alot of uniques and if its not a unique its #### like some skrull or thug

[KaiserSelroc]

Reminds me of the time I traded a LE Rachel Von Helsing for a LE Dr. Harlene Quinzel, E White Queen, R Mandroid, R Blob, E Black Cat, R Thing and a V Hawkeye. The way I saw it, chances are I'll win the fellowship again this Friday and get another.

If it weren't for the fellowship award, I'd never get LE's.

Nobody ever won the fellowship by winning.

[pitbullpro]

I'd of done that trade, since you already have another

you already made the trade ?
so IF you had doubts you should have asked them beforehand.

If YOU are happy with the trade, then does it really matter what we feel aboot it ?

as long as you got some unique/LE with it you should be happy with the trade.

[michael carl]

the REAL question is, are YOU happy with the trade? If so, then it was a good trade. You got alot for your nightcrawler. I wish I could find someone willing to do that trade. All that I've spoken to want 5-10 U's and some non's, and I dont have that many U's in my collection to start with.

[Doomtoy]

Gotta agree. If YOU are pleased with the deal, it was a good deal.

And the unique, the LE, and the load of good nons is just gravy...

[LurkMaster2000]

well, if it makes you feel any better, let's break it down moneywise.... these are based on my estimations off of eBay.

now, let's pretend you got each of them separately for cheap shipping, so for each figure/lot of figures, we'll add $1.50 to each listed price.

approximate prices (maybe underestimating):

r/e Logan - $1.75
e Thor - $1.25
r Doc Oct - $0.35
LE lvl 3 Dr. Harley Quinzell - $9
u Titania - $12
e hulk - $1.50
e Captain America - $1.50
v doombot - $0.45
v ultron - $3.50
v dr doom - $3.25
e Firelord - $2.50
r Jean Grey - $0.25
r Prof X - $0.25
3x v Aim Medic - $0.20
r/e Black Panther - $1
____________________

Total (w/o shipping): $38.75

so if you bought it from a dealer who didn't have to mail it out to you, it's not that bad of a deal. sure you could sell nightcrawler for $45 - $50, but what's $6 - $11 if you're happy with what you got?

but, if you bought all of those in a lot from someone who combined shipping costs, you'd probably have to pay something like $5 or so, bringing the total up to $43.75 - closer to nightcrawler's approximate going price now.

if you had to get each of them individually, you would have to add $22.50 to that total (and that's at a low shipping price of $1.50). that would bring your total up to $61.25...

and remember that you could easily have to pay $2.50 each for shipping, which would bring that up to a whopping $76.25! :eek:

not to mention you won't have to wait around for all your figures to come and it'll save you that anxiety.

i'd say you made out like a bandit. ;)

I made a trade like that to get nightcrawler. I gave up Vision and Medusa and something like 40 non uniques. Styrix had told me he was content after about about a dozen, but I kept pulling stuff out. The key is for everyone to get something they need, and not lose anything they're in love with, and if they do they should get double value!

[ProfPower]

Consider the follwoing...

Much as we sould hate to admit it, games like these (which makes me love them no less) have a limited life, fo rmost the most part. Do I spend $100 plus on each expansion? Sure I do. Do I get all the figs I want. Not really. But I take a personal joy in playing.

Eventually one of two things will happen.
1) The game becomes HUGELY popular and WizKids is intelligent enough to find a way to promote longevity out of the game rather than the quick buck (can you say Yug-I-Oh?).

2) WizKids realizes it actually IS a business looking to make a good profit, limits R&D, sells expansions of their plastic and paper goods until it doesn't make sense to do so anymore and fades into obscurity leaving us with small toys our children will teethe on tens years hence.

Either way, let's take a note from legendary drummer Garth Algar and live in the now. Realize that these little toys bring you pleasure now.

If nothing else, in this trade you made a KILLING in bulk plastic.

look, it's a basic truth of the universe. A thing is worth EXACTLY what YOU are willing to pay for it. So to me something is unpriceable, to you it's junk. If both of ya came out happy with the trade, then you both got good worth from it.
