See this little guy here?

(Sorry for the giant photos btw!)


FMA plushie - Ed with purple soled boots 1

Cute isn't he? He loses some of his cuteness when you look at how much his eBay seller is asking for him - $199.99!! http://www.ebay.com/itm/Fullmetal-Alchemist-Edward-Elric-plush-doll-figure-official-Banpresto-Authentic/371053166390?_trksid=p2045573.c100033.m2042&_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D22946%26meid%3D7833568240492911455%26pid%3D100033%26prg%3D9894%26rk%3D4%26rkt%3D4%26sd%3D321397908331 Whaaat?? O_O!

As if that wasn't bad enough, there's another Ed plushie -

FMA plushie - Brotherhood Ed

- going for....

wait for it...

$918.99!! http://www.ebay.com/itm/FULLMETAL-ALCHEMIST-BROTHERHOOD-EDWARD-PLUSH-GENUINE-LICENSED-GE-ANIMATION-/321238699819?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4acb518f2b OMFG! NINE HUNDRED DOLLARS?? FOR A PLUSHIE?? jeeeez. I love my plushies as well as the next fangirl but this is just outrageous. :/ Don't these people realize that this fandom isn't what it used to be? *sigh* I don't think these guys would sell at these prices even back in the fandom's heyday. :(

Yikes!

I've seen this done before--insane costs for something not worth the insane cost. And then I turn around and find the same damn item for a REASONABLE price. This happens on ebay and sometimes with third party vendors on Amazon. I have a Brotherhood binder that I bought for about ten bucks--and found the same damn notebook for 900.00. It's a scam, all right--but it doesn't always work, heeheehee. And I sure as shit didn't pay that much when I bought 'em...Most I ever paid for a plushie was for my CoS Ed and Roy when the movie first came out, and there was no way I wasn't going to get them. I later got a second Eyepatch!CoS Roy used for ten bucks--he gets to sleep with me while the original is with Ed and Sebastian on my bookcase
