  1. eBays done this before – its not new.

    They did it with Skullcandy and Casio – just to name a few

    Its a way that eBay can pretend to be Amazon without having to make the actual sales.

    Funko themselves are the worst “people of the night” for the longest time – I gave up selling their items ages ago. They play allocation games, they lie about how many of an item are being made, and play favorites (as shown here) with different retailers.

    As someone who goes to toy shows and sees LOTS of their items … most arent worth more then $5-10 (they cost about $5 wholesale), its only the special edition ones that have any real value. And, theres LOTS of them. It wold take an Elon Musk to own them all (never mind owning their older Hikari vinyls as well.)

    First they box you out – like they do with refurb items, then they cut you out altogether like they do here.

    eBay is NOT your friend, they arent your partner, they arent your anything …. wait – scratch that – they are your competition/enemy.

    1. Funko is a company that is mostly known for their small, plastic Pop! figures. They have also branched out to making mini backpacks, lanyards, and pins. Next time you are at a mall, go check them out in a Hot Topic or BoxLunch store.

  3. Funko.
    The carrot on the stick Ebay will follow in to the sunset.
    So, we definitely need a Brand New Venue to take Ebay’s place.
    Make it Very Very Good.
