    EMCEs at $4 a piece!

    Well, I have to admit, here in Belgium, a a local convention.

    A dealer was dumping them at 3 euros each.
    Makes you think: how much IS their profit margin?

    I bought a bunch of ST and Apes, and actually resold several at my booth for $15 each, after the other guy sold out. In the end, I got all my money back PLUS 13 free EMCEs!
    I have an army of Soldier Apes now. You can never have too many monkeys....

      It was a cool convention. And EMCE's at 3 euros, doesn't get any better than that

        Even if you need just the bodies, you're still in for a good deal!

                Pics should be on the convention site soon.
                It's called the F.A.C.T.S. convention.
                Let me see if I can round some pics up!

                I've never seen so many Anime fans (guys) dressed as Japanese school girls (with hairy legs).
                I've lost all interest in underage girls now....

                  I've always thought it was really weird grown men like that kind of stuff.

                  I'm guessing 95% of them are probably pedophiles and the other 5% are transvestite wanna be's

                  Seems most of the modern Anime markets target this type of "fan"

                          wow, I wouldn't have passed on that deal either. You know how many ape soldiers or trek guys I would have bought at that price....about 25 figures on the spot for sure.

                            It always makes me laugh when someone dumps merchandise like that
                            and then complains that (product name) never sells.

                            The fact that you bought the figures from him, then resold them that
                            same day in the same place, for the normal price, must have burned
                            the seller!

                              Whenever I build up my booth, I try to display my items in a way that attract buyers.
                              Having topless girls hold them usually works well!
                              Seriously.
                              Dealers often pile tons of figures on top of each other, and the buyer just looks over them. I take my time and arrange it to catch the eye.
                              The dealer that sold them to me had the booth....right opposite mine....
