collectors can sell what ever they want at what ever price they want. I could sell you my forward unto dawn for only 100$ which everyone would want to buy or I could sell it for 1000$ which is to exspensive to buy. Ebay is a good example of this as there are plety of sellers who dont seem to get the value of a set. Aka I'm not going to buy something that is not a say FUD for the price of a FUD. Yet sellers will not change there prices heck in some instances they will raise them and they never sell the item because of it. As far as producing figures as the other guy said. I can get parts and figs from 2014 replaced if I got a brand new set and it had say a defective figure pieace. They seem able to do that with ease sooooo I'll asume that they would be able to offer the same service but instead of a replacement it would cost you for the fig. Heck if it toke man power to do so then charge for that too. If you really want the figure your ordering will you not play like 10$ for it. (Shipping from China to the us is actually extremely cheap for them to do so, not vice versa for us but it cost them very little)
Yeah I don't shop at EBAY 'cos the prices and shipping is always too high...
Now bow charliebucket. There too high at first glance. For retired sets it's the best place to shop you just need a ceen eye and patience (how do you think I get half the stuff I have) for example id never buy the kodiak siege cannon for its retail price because I'm not super into getting the set , id gladly sink 80$ in a destiny set (exsclusive titan and warlock figures anyone) but the artillery cannon didn't call out to me from the reviews I watched. Non the less it was put on my list, I kept a eye out. I just got to the set for 38$ shipped. I got ebay to thank for that. I also have it to thank for alot of my cheap flood figs like my 4 dark brown flood carriers which are a arm and a half otherwise, another thing off the top of my head is my second fallen walker which I got for 34$ not bad for a duplicate set to army build. It's a tricky game. For example don't expect to find a sierra squad for less then 50$ or a elephant troop carrier for less then 300$ but there is some darn good deals to be had from there if you look long and hard enough.
