Re: How do I Find AA?
If you want one NIB, it will be a lot harder to locate. If you want one used to play with then your options are much more open. I tend to get about 1 set every 6 months with the collections that I acquire. Recently I got one as a lucky strike extra when I picked up a collection with a TJ in it. I opened the box and started sorting and about danced a jig when I saw Zelrig stuffed in there. I guess the seller had no idea. When I do get them and sell them, I typically charge $150 for the set or about $185 if sold individually (I used to charge $200 for the set.)
Sooo...if you want one, let me know (I should have one more set not claimed yet.)
Spoiler Alert!

Re: How do I Find AA?
If you're a collector, and this was the last thing you needed to complete your set, and you really, really couldn't live without it, then...
I'd still only pay $100 tops for a sealed set. No way is it worth more than that. Anybody who's asking for $150 and over is a) doing this as a business or b) greedy. We're talking about a set that has only been out of print for less than five years, and retailed for less than $25 (less, on clearance although not so much with AA since it wasn't in TRU or Walmart, AFAIK). I own two sets, as I do each large creature expansion so both sides can have the same characters. One actually came without cards, and unfortunately I waited too long to have Hasbro replace them. That said, no way I'm going to shell out more than $100 on this set. Just because you 'can' do something doesn't mean you 'should'. I guess it's tough though, because how do you know the guy who you think is a true HS fan that you're selling your AA to isn't going to flip it for scalper prices? You can't. So, you get $200 sealed AA sets on ebay. Unfortunate. |

Re: How do I Find AA?
You know they're not a scalper if they've been on this site for years

Re: How do I Find AA?
Scalping is somehow not scalping if the scalper has been around a few years? Do you sell these sets for profit? Through an actual company? Then that's not scalping, even though I think your costs are too high (Ticketmaster is a great example of this practice, but they're not scalpers...even though one could argue otherwise).
My point is that $150 is just far too much money for anyone to charge for AA. Is that what they go for on ebay? Perhaps that's the case. Is that what they 'should' be going for?...absolutely not. That's why I feel for gamers, players who really would like the units but have to pay ridiculous prices to do so. But...as a collector, I don't have that same sympathy. Your reasons for collecting HS are your own, but if it's not to play it (or simply can't as often as you'd like, as in my case) and simply flip it for profit, then OOP HS becomes something akin to old HeroQuest games, or anything else that was discontinued and now commands a relatively high price. I don't feel sorry for collectors who have to shell out big cash for items in their collection. I do feel sorry for gamers who would love to play with the 'real thing' but can't because collectors have deemed (through supply and demand, fair enough) that something like AA is worth upwards of $150. Again, unfortunate. |

Re: How do I Find AA?
I meant if the buyer has been on here for awhile, they aren't going to sell it for more money.

Re: How do I Find AA?
What if someone puts something up on ebay with a starting bid of original MSRP or lower, but it then gets bid up to outrageous prices. Is that person a scalper because it is selling for $150?
Don't think of it as being outnumbered. Think of it as having a wide shot selection! Scaper of the Week #17 How to get to Skyknight's house: Drive to the red light, then call him. |

I vote no, because It's their choice to spend that much.
Oops, rolled a 1. |

My biggest score was what I thought was a Rise+VW for $50 (awesome in its own right), but when I went through it I found that it also had tons of extra figs, including Aubriens, Glads, Blasts and 2 flagbearers! |
