A free card?!

Christ.

One is a limited first run release from more than a year ago that came with a "Free" trading/game card so sellers jacked up the price.

Literally by the non card one.
Price wise should tell you plenty and theres no real promotion or benefit from the seller.
On a side note, i did get the MG P Bandai last year for 65 american dollars. It dropped from about 120 dollars and then went back up to 90 dollars. All on amazon.

They do that with Converges as well. It's impossible to find boxed Converge figurines on Amazon and a lot of the older ones have the "free card" thing as well so they can jack the price up even further.

Is that fat frog a Gundam?

Amazon can be a great and a horrible place to buy, it all depends on whether you know what the right price should be -- then you'll know whether an item is underpriced as hell or overpriced to the point of absurdity, the two most common choices for amazon sellers to price their products at.

One particular point of retardation is Amazon price gougers that follow the wannabe "Antiques Roadshow" philosophy of "if it's old, it's money". In shopping for old shitty Aoshima kits for series like Ideon and Zambot, you'll find that the Amazon third party seller mentality is to consider a beat-up japanese childrens' toy from 1985 to be worth no less than a few dozen dollars. Whoever started this meme of old overproduced kits being invaluable collectors' items has certainly managed to have it catch on. It seems that the "I wish I was a collectors' item" industry has taken off on Amazon with deluded, senile, or robotic sellers frequently copying or slightly "beating" the prices of their fellow sellers -- which means that some idiots must be buying. In fact, just now there's an Ideon kit listed at sixty dollars, one that I found for ten on ebay.

Let's use another example -- Bandai 1986, the "Schwalg" Flight Armor from the TV show Dragonar. Last I checked, amazon sellers seemed to think it was worth more than 100 big ones, despite the fact that I recently bought one for less than 6.

If you want a break from the amazon idiocy, try ebay.
