I wanted to get some figures to scalp in the future. SSGSS Goku and Golden Frieza seem like good choices, but is Vegito and Ultimate Gohan worth it?

Why not? Scalp probably isn't the appropriate word to use, since I have no control over the price.

So much for your theory. You should know that a weapon doesn't make the man.

It will when they release more buu saga characters like the two buu's or the announce of the rumored PC ss3 Goku. Then they will be expensive because they were the first ones. Just like it happened with OG ss3 Goku. But we'll see.

I'm really not sure. It seems like unpopular figures don't really hold their value. Vegito might go up, but it was a so-so figure but a good character. Ultimate Gohan wasn't received well, at all. I see more people hating on it than anything. If it goes the way of Android 16, you won't be able to make your money back. I see Android 16 selling for $50 or less, lowest was down to the mid-$20s even.
I'd say, your best bet is to grab Broly and other popular figures when you see a great price and then wait to flip those.

eddieranger Although, Vegito isnt too popular, Buuhan really is. It is one of the most anticipated figures of all, since everyone wants to recreate scenes from then anime, it is crystal clear that due to Buuhan, Vegetto will skyrocket fast. That could also happen with Gohan. Just look at what happened to Krillin; android 18 was released and Krillin skyrocketed from retail price after (I think) 2 years from release. You should pick em up, they are not half bad either.

I was thinking about getting a spare Android 16 to sell. I thought the price might skyrocket since it's a new mold, and fairly big figure.

I'll never understand people that do this. There are much better ways to make money.

Just don't scalp. I mean, it affects the people that wanna buy it at a fair price... that happens every year with the SDCC release, and because of the scalpers I can't afford to get it.

I get what you're saying. In my defense, I don't buy something for $40 and try and sell it for a crazy amount. I see that a lot with ticket prices for sports, and it drives me nuts. In an auction, I have no control over that.
