Does the Collector's Club keep prices artifially high?
I can't help but feel that the Collector's Club keeps prices on figures like the last wave of DTC and convention figs artificially high. I don't know what their margin of profit is on convention sets and other exclusives but I can guess that it's ridiculously high. If the Club sold their items for less and more of these figures were in the marketplace, then a more realistic price could be realized. The other problem is that we, as collectors, keep paying the Collector's Club prices. Nobody seems to call them on their absurd prices and people keep on buying, so why should they reevaluate their pricing. I think they're getting away with murder ( in a recession! ) and we are allowing it? I just would like real collectors not to have to go into debt to get something they really want. What do you guys think?
