Default Re: The Nintendo Amiibo Discussion Thread

"Scalping" is now an official job due to eCommerce. Its something we have to get used to. Ive spent about 14 hours in 2 days on the computer f5-ing. Id rather work and get paid for 14 hours than end up with a $12.99 toy. Yes I would pay double. In fact, I would pay $30 for specific amiibos. The reason why I would pay that is because Id rather spew out cash to a scalper and pay them for their time than waste my time getting carpal tunnel lol. The math works out for me.

Lets not forget who's behind this. Nintendo and all the other retailers trying to get exclusivity to specific figures. Nintendo knows what they're doing and its making their Investors happy (when I say Investors, Im talking about the stock mkt). Nintendo is building their popularity back up, increasing their business. If this comes at a cost to us little people then so be it.
