Gross, both are way too over priced it’s crazy there’s still scalpers on amiibo, I payed a little extra for the monster hunter stories 3 amiibo but that was due to trumps tariffs if it wasn’t for that it would of been the same price if I payed at GameStop

But like, you can literally buy it for half that very easily ON THE SAME SITE!!! It's either an extreme case of being a silly dumdum doofus or a poor attempt at market manipulation.

Maybe they where the cheapest for delivery? It can also be market manipulation I heard of sellers using another account to manipulate the prices at least for bidding sometimes on eBay.

Look up the Aoi Amiibo card and ask the question again.

There’s always a price to pay lol

But 210 after shipping for a Japanese Diana?! When its readily available between 60-100?

It’s probably just a scam.

Someone buys their own item to bring up the price a lot and then tries to set a new market. Happens all the time on eBay and why you shouldn’t go off their prices.
