I was scanning through the figures on Amazon.com and came across this 5 star seller:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00011HE2U/ref=sr_1_olp_10?ie=UTF8&s=toys-and-games&qid=1220833742&sr=1-10

I especially like this part:
Comments: 3 INCH FIGURE, NOT AS DETAILED AS PICTURED, I have a much smaller Chad Pennington New York Jets figure for sale. Mine is of the NFL McFarlane 3 Inch series and he's wearing a white jersey. Inquiries welcome, it will ship in a bubble mailer and may get slightly crumpled in shipment. ( « less (javascript:void(0)) )


Translation: I'm misleading you by showing a 6" green Pennington chase, but really I have the 3" white jersey version but I'll still call it a chase. Oh yeah, I'm too lazy to box it up and take care in packing it, so I'll charge you $5 to ship it and I'll cram it into a paper envelope. I hope it's O.K. that it will probably get to you in a crumpled mess. Is this guy for real?

Wow, this guy is either very deceptive or just real lazy.

is there even an amazon entry for the 3" pennington for the seller to list under? does the seller get to choose the shipping charge?

Wow, at least the seller is telling you it's a 3 inch figure. I bought what was supposed to be a 12 inch Aikman from a seller on Amazon.com for $40 plus shipping. When it arrived I knew it wasn't what I purchased just based upon the size of the box, so I immediately sent it back marked "Return to Sender". The seller was very aggressive about getting feedback from me even before I received the package, so I'm sure he was "testing the waters" to see if I would know the difference. Fortunately, he issued a full refund, but it was pretty deceptive. Who would pay $40 plus shipping for a 6 inch Aikman anyway?
