For me the most alarming thing is that prior to the Cows scooping all sets up ESP had arranged for another seller to have complete control of the reselling.
I find this ridiculous, it is the re-sellers / dealers that keep this hobby alive and now not only are they missing out on profit for their business but many collectors will be deprived or forced to pay overs on the secondary market if they can't secure a set through the Cows.
As I have previously mentioned ESP have shown some great ideas and initiatives but really seem to over complicate but should be a very simple and enjoyable hobby. The amount of members on this site alone who have stopped collecting or significantly downgraded their collection is crazy and this site is only a very small portion of the hobby!
In my 5 years back in the hobby I am yet to see a series one box of Select dumped back on the market for less than 2/3 of it's release price yet you can get a box of 13, 14, 15 Traders for $50 delivered!
