Yeah, yeah, we have all heard that before. You act all shocked that a supermarket will dare to do something so "early". (I have heard that Supermarkets will start selling Easter stuff in January next year. One date I heard was the 01/01/09)
Anyway, I noticed they had a whole range of cheap knock off China toys that you can buy on ebay from Hong Kong sellers from $0.99. Some boxes even sported bad Engrish. However, there was one toy (or collection of them) that I wouldn't have minded getting if I was 6 or 26.
They were "Road-Bots". Knock off "Autobots" of Transformers fame. However, they are official licensed transforming cars. So the Ford is a "real" Ford. The Toyota is offical too. Some boxes even had a hologram of the Carmaker to "prove" that they approve.
Anyway, these are for sale at Safeway (and maybe even Woolworths) for $30. Bargin!
Well they are considering this Asshole is selling one for $74.50 before postage!
THE
FUCK?

This guy even tries to tie the fake transformer to the real ones by adding "Bumblebee?" to the description.
So this dickhead has a markup of $44.50 on this. I don't think he got it from Woolworths because the photos on the auction page lack the "Imported by: Woolworths" crap, but that just comes off with ease.
No, he must have imported it himself to sell at a HUGE markup.
What about postage? Well it is a rather bulky item.
NSW and ACT gets to pay $16.50 extra. VIC and QLD pay $36.50. SA, WA and TAS $39.50! NT residents get to pay $49.50 extra!!! Fuck right off. Figurewiseman is not really that wise.
I would hate to be the guy that buys this, only to discover it in Woolworths for less.
