>>11591316My problem with Crapazom (at least as far as toys are concerned) is the fact that the are charging sliding prices on toys - with many things being marked well above MSRP simply because their algorithm is showing them that people will PAY THOSE HIGHER PRICES, which forces people to buy at those prices, since that's the availability.
Entertainment Earth and BBTS occasionally will have a few items higher than retail list from the toy seller, but the price remains stable from first day of sale till they sell out. And they will sell things like damaged card/damaged clamshell, items at below retail, where Crapazom will send you that shit at full retail. ToyWhiz marks up everything but i don't think they have the buying power to be able to do more. They are essentially a glorified EBAY storefront.
I think Target (when it's available), Game Stop and Best Buy (at least for the toys I consider and buy) are the only on-line toy sellers that sell (and keep) prices at MSRP. And BB has a limited selection so they are rarely an option for most collectors.
