The price is based off supply and demand and just because Oki is selling them way below average price doesn't mean that's what it values at. Furthermore, supply also has to be considered and the bulk of BK are I eBay and thus are mostly sold at an eBay price. It is not by any means a scam more just looking out for the best deal. It's the world we live in.
Please read my replies to your posts properly. I never ever said it was scam or that you´re not entitled to do it. I only call it indecent to make use of children´s unknowing and also emphasized that it´s not illegal.
The value of a beyblade is determined by the cheapest amount of money you can get it for without much trouble or waiting, because people always buy the cheapest they can find.
Of course, you´re free to become one more seller, who sells his stuff for more than neccessary and make lots of money by doing so. You will always find one, who´s dumb enough to pay double the amount for the bey. But if you sell your stuff for reasonable prices, you will be the one selling and the others will be left with their overpriced stuff. The majority of the people will luckily tap their forehead when they see the amounts of money some sellers want to have for some single spinning tops, and also most WBO members are smart enough to ask here where they can get it as cheap as possible. Just because some dumbos raise the average price by buying completely overpriced stuff, that average can´t be considered as the true value of the beyblade.
Also, I know exactly the world we live in, thanks. And I also know what supply and demand is, thanks again. But, supply and demand also means that people will buy the cheapest they can find and since "average" means that 50% of the other prices are lower, your chance of selling stuff for average prices becomes smaller. That may work for beys that are extremely hard to find (GT´s, Shining Gods, etc), so supply is very low, because people are desperate enough to spend too much for them. But for beys like BC the demand isn´t high enough compared to the supply.
You should also keep in mind that always selling your stuff for the absolute maximum price, it´s the best way to make the prices sky-rocket more than they are already doing, because nobody wants to sell his stuff for less than he spent for it. For the seller it looks like the best he can do in that moment, but on the long run those overprice sellers will ruin the hobby of collecting beyblades for others. Sure, still NOT illegal, but egoistical, ruthless and as I said, indecent. It´s up to you, whether you want to become such a seller or not.

Remove the SG from the base, press in the rubber tip from the outside of the base to the inside with a pencil or something and insert it from the outside again. As simple as that.
Please th!nk about it...
